Law in an Emerging Global Village: A Post-Westphalian Perspective

The author focuses on the United Nations Charter's mandate for humanitarian intervention, the urgent need for international environmental protection, the significance of the codification of the sea and the continuing failure of initiatives to unilaterally outlaw nuclear weapons.
