Reviews
Review from previous edition Gardiner has structured his material in a lucid and intelligble manner...the book reads well, is informative and rich in useful material, and manages to tackle an issue that, at least to this reviewer, seems tremendously difficult, if not terrifying: that of intelligibly interpreting the rules on treaty interpretation. It should be of good use to advanced students and practitioners alike. Antonios Tzanakopoulos, German Yearbook of International Law 2010. Review from previous edition 'Treaty interpretation is analysed in the wider context of the law of treaties, of which Gardiner has unparalleled knowledge. It is very rarely that the whole subject of treaty interpretation is dealt with in such detail in one study, and the achievement of the author is therefore even more significant...The book will undoubtedly become a classic study on the interpretation of treaties - of great use to both practitioners and academics.' Malgosia Fitzmaurice, European Journal of International Law 2009
`An impressive work of scholarship regarded as a classic in this field, the book builds its close and minute analysis with the support of references to real-life examples as part of its practical approach. A valuable resource for researchers, academics and diplomats as well as international lawyers. It will certainly be regarded as indispensable for anyone professionally involved in the law of treaty interpretation.'
