The Charter of the United Nations: A Commentary, 4th Edition. "Comprehensive UN Charter Guide"

Price includes worldwide shipping via trusted international courier

Edited by: Bruno Simma, Daniel-Erasmus Khan, Georg Nolte, Andreas Paulus

Since the third edition of this commentary on the Charter of the United Nations was published in 2012, the text of the Charter has not changed but the world has. Central pillars of the international order enshrined in the UN Charter are facing serious challenges, notably the prohibition of the use of force. Human rights, too, have come under increasing pressure, now also from contemporary information technology, and global warming poses fundamental challenges for the world community.

Fully updated, the commentary takes up these and other developments, featuring new chapters on Climate Change and the Human Rights Council. It remains the authoritative, article-by-article account of the legislative history, interpretation, and practical application of each Charter provision, written by a team of distinguished scholars and practitioners combining academic research with the insights of practice.
