International Law
By L.N. Tandon & S.K. Kapoor

Public international law governs everything from state sovereignty and diplomatic relations to the law of the sea, armed conflict, and human rights — and this comprehensive textbook by L.N. Tandon and S.K. Kapoor remains one of the most widely used academic references on the subject, published by Mansoor Law Book House.

Why This Book is Essential

Covering international law from its foundational principles through to specialized areas like the law of neutrality and international human rights protection, this text moves systematically from definitions, sources, and the historical development of international law, through the law of peace, armed conflict, and international organizations, to a dedicated section on the universal, regional, and national protection of human rights. Its structured, chapter-by-chapter approach — regularly updated with recent international events and ICJ jurisprudence in successive editions — has made it a long-standing reference for students preparing for both university examinations and competitive civil service exams.
