The most dramatic recent examples of this phenomenon include “necessity” defences in international investment law; “emergency” derogations in international human rights treaties; “exceptions” for non-conforming measures in international trade law; and doctrinal misapplications of necessity in jus ad bellum and jus in bello. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNecessity and National Emergency Clauses\u003c\/i\u003e is the first to trace the doctrine’s genealogy from medieval Christian and Islamic religious history to post-Westphalian practices, the International Law Commission’s codifications, and modern treaty formulations. Recognizing the doctrine’s thematic linkage with the State’s sovereign right to delimit international obligation, the volume proposes analytical criteria to assess the lawfulness and legitimacy of interpretations of necessity and national emergency clauses within specialized treaty regimes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume is intended for law students, legal scholars, arbitrators, international judges, and other international law practitioners interested in deriving interpretive solutions to treaty controversies on the doctrine of necessity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiane Desierto was awarded the 2010-2011  Ambrose Gherini Prize, the highest prize awarded in the field of International Law by Yale Law School,  for her JSD dissertation, upon which this book is based.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Diane A.
