Over the past twenty years, the volume of international litigation and arbitration has increased exponentially. As the number of new international courts and tribunals has proliferated, the diversity and volume of advocates appearing before the international courts has also increased. With this increase, the ethical standards that apply to counsel have become a growing field of interest to practitioners of public international law. Problems threatening the integrityof the international judicial process and concerns about divergent ethical standards amongst counsel have multiplied in the international judicial system, prompting early attempts by senior members of the ''international bar'' to articulate common ethical standards.Professional Ethics at the International Bar examines the question of how to articulate common ethical standards for counsel appearing before international courts and tribunals, and the legal powers and practical ability of international courts to prescribe and enforce such standards. It conducts original research into both the theory and practice of the issues arising from this nascent process of professionalization. Using various sources, including interviews with judges, registrars,and senior practitioners, it argues that the professionalization of advocacy through the articulation of common ethical standards is both desirable and feasible in order to protect the integrity and fairness of the international judicial process.

Arman Sarvarian''s The Law of State Succession provides a comprehensive, practical, and empirical overview of the topic, establishing State succession as a distinct field with a cohesive set of rules. From the secession of the United States of America in 1784 to that of South Sudan in 2011, the book digests and analyses State practice spanning more than two centuries. It is based on research into a wide and diverse range of case studies, including archival and previously unpublished data. It reconstructs the intellectual foundation of the field to offer a vision for its progressive development that is rooted in an interpretation of State practice that transcends the politics of the codification projects in the decolonization and desovietization eras. The book examines international law on State succession with respect to territorial rights and obligations, State property (including archives) and debt, treaties, international claims and responsibility, and nationality and private property (including concessions and investments). Its central focus is identifying the general rules of international law to guide the States concerned in the negotiation of succession agreements, interpret ambiguous or incomplete provisions, and regulate a succession in default of specific agreement. A highly relevant work, The Law of State Succession offers governments, judges, and legal practitioners and scholars an authoritative account of the current law. It enables negotiators to identify the legal options in succession issues and assists adjudicators in interpreting provisions of succession agreements and regulating questions omitted from such agreements.

It enables negotiators to identify different legal paths within succession and assists adjudicators in interpreting provisions of succession agreements and regulating questions omitted from such agreements.
