Throughout recorded history, rulers of states, kingdoms, or other political entities have entered into treaties with each other for the purposes of ending or averting violent conflict. However, the formation of the United Nations in 1945 created a means for the world community to enforce international law uponmembers that violate its charter. The trend towards multilateral commitments has accelerated since then, and it is now meaningful to study international law as a means towards resolving conflicts among states. Traditionally, states were the sole subjects of international law, but recent interpretations of international human rights law, international humanitarian law, and international trade law have been inclusive of corporations and even individuals. This new "Routledge Major Work", a five-volume collection, covers the current nature, scope, and issues within international law. ÍNDICE: Volume I: Systemic Overview; Volume II: Fundamentals of International Law; Volume III: International Law in and of Peace; Volume IV: International Law in and of War; Volume V: Legitimacy and Governance; Volume VI: Interdisciplinary Approaches
