Abstract

In my recent book “New Horizons in International Law,”1 an attempt was made to analyze the new developments that have arisen since the commencement of modern international law, dating from the inception of the United Nations in 1945. Various issues were discussed, touching on new processes of lawmaking in the International Law Commission,2 new approaches to judicial process in the International Court of Justice,3 and the breaking of completely new ground by the establishment of such organizations as the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD),4 the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL),5 and the various subsidiary organs of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).6 In addition, topics in the fields of human rights and humanitarian law were addressed. Developments in the law of treaties and the law of the sea were also outlined, thus spotlighting the expanding frontiers of public international law.
