New book published: « Le débat sur la fragmentation du droit international – Une analyse critique » by Anne-Charlotte Martineau
This book aims to deconstruct the debate on the so-called “fragmentation” of international law. What is the fate of public international law in light of the proliferation of specialized institutions and modes of thinking? Instead of responding to the question and entering the debate itself, Anne-Charlotte Martineau tries to assess the nature and significance of that debate. What does the debate, including the proposed solutions, tell us about international law today?
