Rosalyn Higgins was so honored and this volume is the revised text of the lectures she delivered there.

This book focuses on resolving this in addition to many other difficult and unanswered issues in contemporary international law. The topics she addresses include human rights, allocating competence, self determination, and the individual use of force in international law.
