The Individual in the International Legal System

Kate Parlett is an associate in the public international law and arbitration groups of the Paris office of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP. She was previously a Research Fellow of the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law at the University of Cambridge.

'Kate Parlett's analysis is both succinct and comprehensive, inasmuch as it covers 'the areas of international law which have the clearest potential to engage individuals' … The organization of the reasoning in the three … historical periods for each of the areas subject to scrutiny gives the book a clear structure and allows the reader to draw parallels and identify differences in the direct comparison between different fields of law.' Andreas Th. Müller, European Journal of International Law
