The Charter of the United Nations: A Commentary

This is the first commentary on the UN Charter in the English language to be published since 1969 and the only one in any language to take the practice of the United Nations fully into account. Written by a team of 60 German, Swiss and Austrian scholars of international law working in universities and international civil services, the commentary offers an article-by-article account of the legislative history, interpretation and practical application of each Charter provision, together with a detailed political evaluation and recommendation for the future.
