Public international law remains indispensable, but it must be critically examined for the new global order.— Navigating the New Global Order
A scholarly legal map of sovereignty, institutions, responsibility, and global justice.
This edited volume examines contemporary public international law as a living framework for ordering relations among States, institutions, and individuals in a world shaped by conflict, displacement, technological change, maritime disputes, and institutional reform.

The book addresses the ICJ, United Nations organs, Security Council powers, veto concerns, State responsibility, treaty law, jurisdiction, diplomacy, and extradition.
Human and Global Dimensions
Chapters examine asylum, refugee protection, non-refoulement, statelessness, nationality, human rights, and the individual’s place within international legal systems.

The volume includes focused analysis of the EEZ, continental shelf, territorial waters, maritime boundaries, high seas, deep seabed mining, and ocean governance.
Emerging Geopolitics
It connects classical public international law with contemporary concerns including AI, pre-emptive self-defence, treaty obligations in crisis, and institutional democratic deficit.
