Evolutionary Interpretation and International Law cover

Timely collection of authoritative perspectives from both academia and practice offering an in-depth understanding of the processes at work in evolutionary interpretation as well as a prime selection of the current main trends and future challenges.

This unique book brings together leading experts from diverse areas of public international law to offer a comprehensive overview of the approaches to evolutionary interpretation in different international legal regimes. It begins by asking what interpretation is, offering the views of expert authors on the question, its components and definitions. It then comments on situations that have called for evolutionary interpretation in different international legal regimes, including general international law, environmental law, human rights law, EU law, investment law, international trade law, and how domestic courts have, on occasions, interpreted treaties and other international legal instruments in an evolutionary manner. This timely, authoritative compendium offers an in-depth understanding of the processes at work in evolutionary interpretation as well as a prime selection of the current trends and future challenges.

The international lawyer and legal scholar faced with a question concerning the evolutionary interpretation of treaties in 2020 will find no better friend than Evolutionary Interpretation and International Law … the book is valuable both in collecting the conclusions of scholars in the field and in providing the reader with the most up-to-date source for decisions of adjudicators and other actors in the different subfields of international law. -- Geraldo Vidigal * Journal of International Economic Law *
