Book excerpt: This book explores the contentious topic of how collective and community issues should be protected and enforced in international law. The volume addresses both the theory and practice of third-State countermeasures within international law and critically assesses the work the International Law Commission has done in this area. The author identifies concerns about third-State countermeasures which remain unanswered, and considers the possible legal ramifications arising from a clash between a right to third-State countermeasures and obligations arising from other international norms. In taking a thorough view of the issues involved, The Problem of Enforcement in International Law explores questions evolving around the nature, integrity and effectiveness of international law and the role it is called on to play in a contemporary context.
