Universalising International Law
Reviews
'His new book brings together many of his lectures and judgments, along with some fresh material, all of it synthesized through his principle of “universalisation”. In many ways, this book is an older scholar’s effort to inspire beginning scholars and practitioners to capture the field for the values that he has espoused throughout a life in the law. […] Like much else in this collection, Weeramantry’s comments on the ethics of international lawyers in government service provide food for thought.'
Roger S. Clark, American Journal of International Law, 2005.
'Universalising International Law is a thought-provoking contribution to the debate about international law in the post-September 11 world. While United States President George W. Bush has attempted to monopolise international law to justify the ‘war on terror’, Christopher Weermantry argues that a system of law that remains mono-cultural has no claim to being either international or effective. […] The essays brim with the enthusiasm of an author who knows he is addressing a varied international audience, including Prime Ministers, educators, students, judges and members of the public. The main argument is coherently developed, demonstrating Weeramantry’s consistency and dedication to his cause over many years.’
