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 formerly the Whewell Professor of International Law at the University of Cambridge and President of the International Court of Justice; Watts was formerly a legal advisor to the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Since its original publication in 1905–1906, it has established its status as a classic work in international law. After eight revisions, it has always been one of the most popular textbooks on international law, widely circulated. Thirty-seven years after the eighth revision, the volume was revised and published by Jennings and Watts, a move 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, and more; it also addresses 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 its original level and reputation, serving as a primary reference work for teaching and research in international law, and offering significant benefits to practitioners as well.
