Summary:

"Umut Özsu recounts the history of the struggle to decolonize international law, commencing with the U.N. General Assembly's landmark 1960 decolonization resolution and concluding in 1982, with the close of the third UN Conference on the Law of the Sea and the onset of the Latin American debt crisis. The book examines the work of international lawyers from newly independent states alongside that of international law specialists from 'First World' and socialist states. A study in modifications to legal theory and doctrine over time, it documents and reassesses post-1945 decolonization from the standpoint of the 'Third World' and the jurists who elaborated and defended its interests"-- Provided by the publisher
