Principles of Public International Law

This book is a comprehensive academic work on Public International Law, written for law students, legal practitioners, and scholars seeking a thorough and practically grounded understanding of one of the most dynamic fields of modern law. Drawing on years of teaching and research, I have written this digest to bridge the gap between dense theoretical scholarship and the real world of international relations, state conduct, and human rights. International law shapes wars, protects individuals, governs oceans, regulates diplomacy, and holds heads of state accountable. This book brings those dimensions to life.It covers the complete landscape of public international law from the Treaty of Kadesh and Kautilya's Arthashastra through the Westphalian state system to the ICC's prosecution of sitting heads of state and the emerging law of outer space. Every topic is treated with academic rigour and explained through real-world examples, Latin maxims, flow charts, and structured case analyses.
