Japan's Practice of International Law

By Hidehisa Horinouchi

Diplomacy is a series of crises, and the navigational beacon for a nation is international law. This book is a collection of articles on six selected international legal issues concerning Japan. It addresses various issues, including self-defence, post-war legal issues, chemical weapons, the law of the sea, consular immunities, and hijacking. It is a legal documentary through which the reader can look into the minds of Japanese officials challenged by one crisis after another. As a coherent whole, this book ably represents "Japan's Practice of International Law" and remarkably portrays international law in action from a Japanese practitioner's perspective.
