The book explores the various means of making
non-conventional/non-treaty law and the cross-cutting issues that they
raise. Law-making by technical/informal expert bodies, Conferences of
Parties, international organizations, the UN Security Council, regional
organizations and arrangements and non-state actors is examined in turn.
This forms the basis for the analysis of the complementarity of
international treaty law, customary international law and
non-traditional law-making, potential subject matters of non-treaty
law-making, domestic consequences of non-treaty law-making,
proliferation of actors, commissions and treaty bodies of the UN system,
and International courts and tribunals.
