Review from previous edition `The project Simma has put together is excellent and will be very useful ... Simma has gathered virtually all of the leading experts and ... this will be a definitive work.'
Tom Franck, Professor of International Law, New York University
`An important contribution to the International Law Decade.'
The American Journal of International Law
`'the book may be recommended as an important source of information on the interpretation and application of the UN Charter over years. Simma and his colleagues should be praised for their coherent presentation of the Commentary.''
Netherlands International Law Review
`This massive volume will be familiar to some readers in its earlier German version, first published in 1991. It now appears in an excellent English translation which does full justice to the quality of the scholarship of some 60 German-speaking international lawyers...a book whose
encyclopaedic quality will make it a standard reference work on what remains for international lawyers probably the most important treaty of the twentieth century...a series of essays that are informative and authoritative and often range well beyond the confines of the Charter itself...the whole
work has clearly benefited from very high editorial standards. It deserves a wide readership and will prove an essential text for any international law library.'
International and Comparative Law Quarterly
'The book (and its future updated editions that will no doubt follow) will in all likelihood rank, for many years to come, as the definitive commentary on the UN Charter...The English translation is highly readable...The editors and contributors should be congratulated on having produced this
important work of collective scholarship which for many years to come will benefit researchers, practitioners and students alike.'
`The preparation of the English version must have been extremely laborious since it is not only a translation, but also an updated version of the German text...only Simma has an overview ofd the number of resolutions adopted and not adopted by the General Assembly...of invaluable assistance to
any student of the UN, in particular for international lawyers.'
