'Dr Peat has offered fresh insights into two under-studied topics - the place of domestic law in treaty interpretation and the comparative jurisprudence of international courts and tribunals. By calling attention to commonalities and distinctions among the approaches of various courts and identifying judicial practices that may not fit neatly into orthodox narratives, the volume promises to be valuable to scholars, practioners and jurists alike.' Joan Donoghue, Judge of the International Court of Justice, Netherlands 'A very clear and revealing account of the use of domestic law by international courts and tribunals when interpreting international instruments and international law. This sheds helpful light on important matters of current legal interest.' Richard Gardiner, University College London 'Tribute must be paid to Daniel Peat for his masterful dissertation, offering a brilliant analysis of the complex issue of the interaction between domestic and international law in international dispute settlement. It explores the profound implications of this normative interaction, shifting the perspective to the comparative reasoning of international adjudicators. The analysis of different jurisdictional settings, the diachronic approach and the sharp reading of the case law make this book a fascinating piece of scholarship.' H l ne Ruiz Fabri, Director, Max Planck Institute Luxembourg for Procedural Law

Helene Ruiz Fabri, Director, Max Planck Institute Luxembourg for Procedural Law 'Throughout the book, Peat demonstrates attention to detail, a welcome appreciation for the insights of theory, and an impressively wide knowledge of international law and adjudication. The book sharpens thinking and blurs boundaries, adding yet further evidence of 'the complexity ... of the international/national legal interface'. As this interface comes under increasing scrutiny, Peat's work will play an important guiding role.' Jarrod Hepburn, European Journal of International Law
