Brownlie's analysis and assessment should certainly promote tighter and better drafting, while encouraging, among practical and practicing lawyers, clearer thinking about claims and rights, wrongs and reparation, and the sheer mechanics of state responsibility.--Guy S. Goodwin-Gill in The American Journal of International Law. "The author's crisp style renders this a remarkably handy volume considering its wealth of information and its extensive provision of original materials."--Gunther F. Handl in International Lawyer. An invaluable source for all those involved in the teaching or practice of international law, this authoritative study provides a detailed analysis of the substantive principles of state responsibility.

Lord Wilberforce is one of Britain's most respected and distinguished judges. He became a QC in 1954, a Judge of the High Court (Chancery Division) in 1961 and a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary in 1964, finally retiring from the judiciary in 1982. He was President of the International Law Association for twenty-five years and is currently its Patron. He has been involved with many judicial and non-judicial activities, including spells as a visiting Fellow of Linacre and Wolfson Colleges in Oxford. He is High Steward of the University of Oxford, and a fellow of All Souls College.To most lawyers Lord Wilberforce will be known for the clarity and extreme breadth of knowledge displayed in his judgements over the years. He is a gifted scholar who has contributed in innumerable ways to the growth and development of English law. As a commercial lawyer his work is well known, but he has played a part in recent developments in administrative law and not least in international commercial arbitration.The festschriften in this book include contributions from distinguished lawyers from around the world, including Lord Hailsham, Judge Elias, Sir Robert Jennings, Professor Goedhuis, Judge Eero Manner, Professor Nicholas Matte, Professor G.H. Treitel, Professor D.G.T. Williams, Dr F.A. Mann, President Nagendra Singh, Lord Justice Kerr, Lord Justice Mustill, N.P.M. Elles, and Professor C.J. Olmstead.

Treaties and Indigenous Peoples is an edited version of Professor Ian Brownlie's 1990 Robb Lectures, delivered at the University of Auckland in the sesquicentennial year of the establishment of New Zealand as a British colony.Whereas most sesquicentennial writing necessarily deals with Treaty and related problems in the immediate context of New Zealand law and politics, Professor Brownlie, bringing the external perspective and the expertise of an eminent academic and practising international lawyer, deals with those problems in the international context of the rights of indigenous peoples.The New Zealand constitutional background to the work is provided by Professor Brookfield's annotations.
