Features: The International Law (1995 Edition) is a classic textbook on international law edited by Professor Wang Tieya, also regarded as a renowned work on international law in China. The book is divided into eighteen chapters, co-authored by Professor Wang Tieya along with other distinguished international law scholars such as Professor Rao Geping and Professor Wang Guiquan. It covers fundamental theories of international law, including basic principles, subjects of international law, and the fundamental rights and obligations of states, as well as the resolution of international disputes, the law of war and armed conflict. The content is comprehensive and the explanations are precise, presenting a panoramic view of the theoretical system of international law. As an undergraduate textbook, it has had a profound impact on international law education in China. This is not only because it systematically elaborates on the general theories and basic knowledge of international law, but also, from the perspective of the history of international law scholarship and education in China, it further matured the writing model of Chinese international law textbooks in terms of both content and structure, building upon the International Law (1981 Edition) edited by Professor Wang Tieya.
