About This Book

A collection of one hundred short incidents and problem cases organized into twenty-five sections of four cases each, designed to stimulate classroom discussion of practical questions in international law. Cases present real and invented scenarios touching on diplomacy, jurisdiction, neutrality, prize and maritime law, extraterritoriality, asylum, extradition, annexation, diplomatic immunity, use of force, and protection of nationals. Each brief case is given without commentary to encourage students to analyze facts, debate legal principles, and propose solutions during seminar-style conversation classes.
