Summary
This work aims to fill a gap in the existing legal literature by presenting a compact, concise but nevertheless panoramic view of the law of the United Nations. Today the organisation is at the centre of all multilateral International relations and impossible to avoid. And of course the UN Charter is a foundational document without which modern international law cannot be properly understood.
