In this volume in the \u003cem\u003eElements of International Law series\u003c\/em\u003e, Dinah Shelton explores its origins and history, its revival in the twentieth century, and its place in international and domestic jurisprudence. Providing a fresh, objective, and non-argumentative approach to the discipline of international law, the Elements series is an accessible go-to source for practicing international lawyers, judges and arbitrators, government and military officers, scholars, teachers, and students. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeginning with the writings of Grotius, Vattel, and Suarez, Shelton shows how the theory of \u003cem\u003ejus cogens\u003c\/em\u003e drew upon Roman law for its foundations. In the subsequent chapter, she considers the emergence of positivism and its rejection of any non-consensual basis for binding States to international norms. She then turns to the re-emergence of \u003cem\u003ejus cogens\u003c\/em\u003e in theories of the twentieth century and its place in the modern law of treaties. The volume includes extensive analysis of the interpretation of jus cogens obligations by international courts and tribunals, as well as by various domestic courts, including those of Italy, Greece, Canada, the US, and the UK. The volume concludes with a consideration of the place of \u003cem\u003ejus cogens\u003c\/em\u003e in modern scholarship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dinah Shelton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198865953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198865957\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.70w x 0.70d","brand":"Dinah Shelton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944179171583,"sku":"9780198865957","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e3d9a0b6-f2f4-4a37-9158-4894f0b1470a.jpg?v=1681502250","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jus-cogens-dinah-shelton-9780198865957","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
