Features: The author of this book, Oppenheim (1858–1919), was a renowned international law scholar of modern times. The revisor of the ninth edition, Jennings, was once the Whewell Professor of International Law at the University of Cambridge and President of the International Court of Justice; Watts was once the legal advisor to the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Published in 1905–1906, the original edition immediately established its status as a classic work of international law. After eight revisions, it has always been one of the most popular international law textbooks, widely circulated. Thirty-seven years after the eighth revision, the volume was revised and published by Jennings and Watts, which was warmly welcomed by the international law community. The new edition takes into account the development of international law, expanding its scope and content to include new supplements on maritime law, diplomatic and consular relations, treaty law, etc.; it also covers issues such as outer space, terrorism, environmental protection, Antarctica, and human rights. The content of the new volume is more than double that of the eighth edition, divided into two volumes and five parts. The new edition maintains the original level and reputation, serving as a primary reference work for international law teaching and research, and greatly benefiting practitioners as well.
