The Boundaries of International Law : A Feminist Analysis Paperback / softback
by Hilary Charlesworth, Christine Chinkin
Part of the Melland Schill Studies in International Law series
Paperback / softback
Description
Representing the first book-length treatment of the application of feminist theories of international law, Charlesworth and Chinkin argue that the absence of women in the development of international law has produced a narrow and inadequate jurisprudence that has legitimated the unequal position of women worldwide rather than confronted it. The boundaries of international law provides a feminist perspective on the structure, processes and substance of international law.
The authors examine its sources, treaty law, the concept of statehood and the right of self-determination, the role of international institutions and the law of human rights.
Concluding with a consideration of whether the inclusion of women in the jurisdiction of international war crimes tribunals represents a significant shift in the boundaries of international law, The boundaries of international law is essential reading for scholars, practitioners, and students alike. -- .
