This new edition of a textbook first published in 2000 provides a comprehensive account of the law of treaties from the viewpoint of two experienced practitioners. It draws on the combined experience of Anthony Aust, the original author, and Jeremy Hill, until recently Legal Counsellor in the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, London. The book provides a wealth of examples of the problems experienced with treaties on a daily basis. The authors explore numerous precedents from treaties and other related documents, such as non-legally binding instruments. Using clear and accessible language, the authors cover the full extent of treaty law, with both practitioners and students in mind. Modern Treaty Law and Practice is essential reading for officials in governments and international organisations, lawyers practising in international law, and teachers and students of law, political science, international relations and diplomacy who have an interest in treaties.

Reviews for Aust's Modern Treaty Law and Practice

'This fourth edition of Aust's Modern Treaty Law and Practice is thoroughly updated and revised in light of developments over the last ten years, including Brexit. It has much that is new and illuminating, including on 'nonbinding instruments', reservations, provisional application and jus cogens. The new author, Jeremy Hill, has retained the 'Aust-spirit'; the book remains as accessible as ever.' Sir Michael Wood, KCMG, KC 'Jeremy Hill's deep expertise and safe hands guide us through a much needed refresh to an essential desk guide for anyone involved or interested in the treaty drafting and making process. At a time of growing nationalism, this book is a timely reminder of how interconnected and interdependent our world is, and the role of treaties to help address global challenges that transcend boundaries.' Rashmin Sagoo, Director of the International Law Programme, Chatham House
