An Introduction to International Organizations Law

The third edition of this market-leading textbook (previously called An Introduction to International Institutional Law) is written in a clear three-part structure. It is centred on the dynamics of the relationships between international organisations and their organs staff and the outside world. It discusses the essential topics of the law of international organisations including powers finances and privileges and immunities as well as membership rules institutional structures and accountability. The newly revised text has been updated extensively to reflect the entry into force of the EU's Lisbon Treaty (and Croatia's accession) and new articles on the responsibility of international organisations. The chapters have also been reorganised for further clarity. Two new chapters on the international civil service and the relations between organisations and other institutions respectively have been added.
