Diplomatic Law

This book is an erudite and impressive statement of what diplomatic law actually is and what, presumably, it may become, bearing in mind such ongoing controversies as the tension between the principle of non-interference in the affairs of a particular country - and the duty to promote and champion the basic tenets of human rights. * Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, Richmond Green Chambers *
Review from previous edition ... a cornerstone in any large or small library collection dealing with diplomats... It remains the 'must have' work for all members of the worldwide diplomatic community... a handy collection of cases from national courts... conveniently organised by Article. * American Society of International Law *
Review from previous edition ...First published in 1976, Denza's Diplomatic Law has become the classic study on the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations 1961. No study of diplomatic law or, indeed, the subject of diplomatic relations in general would be complete without reference to Denza's work. Having produced such an authoritative work, it must have been with no small degree of trepidation that Denza approached the prospects of improving upon that work 22 years later. However, there is no doubt that Denza has succeeded in her task ... The inclusion of the new material is pervasive throughout the book ... there can be little doubt that Diplomatic Law will remain the leading authority on the Vienna Convention for many years to come. It is an essential purchase for all practitioners of diplomacy and academics involved in the study of diplomacy in general and diplomatic law in particular. * J Craig Barker, International and Comparative Law Quarterly Vol 48 *
