In December 2011, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the International Law Commission's articles on the responsibility of international organizations, bringing to conclusion not only nearly ten years of reflection by the Commission, governments and organizations on this specific topic, but also decades of study of the wider subject of international responsibility, which had initially focused on State responsibility. Parallel to this reflection by the Commission, diplomats and public officials, the body of international case-law and literature on the many facets of the topic has steadily been growing. Responsibility of International Organizations: Essays in Memory of Sir Ian Brownlie contributes to the body of international literature by collecting a broad spectrum of different and sometimes differing perspectives from well-known experts in the field, ranging from the bench to the Commission, academia, and the world of in-house counsel. The book is also a memorial to the renowned Sir Ian Brownlie, himself a former Chairman of the International Law Commission who, as a leading scholar and practitioner, greatly contributed to the reflection on international responsibility, including the responsibility of international organizations. Edited by Maurizio Ragazzi, a former pupil of Sir Ian, the book is an ideal companion to International Responsibility Today, a collection of essays on international responsibility which the same editor presented in 2005 in memory of Oscar Schachter, and to which Sir Ian Brownlie had contributed. The essays collected in Responsibility of International Organizations: Essays in Memory of Sir Ian Brownlie, conveniently grouped by the editor under broad areas for the reader's benefit, will be relevant not only to all those interested in this specific subject but also, more generally, to all those engaged in the field of international law and the law of international organizations.

Excerpt from Leading Cases on International Law, Vol. 1: With Notes Containing the Views of the Text-Writers on the Topics Referred to Supplementary Cases, Treaties, and Statutes; Peace This selection of illustrative cases was originally de signed mainly as a kind of adjunct or companion volume to existing text-books; and this character it in some measure still retains. But in the present edition, with a View to ensuring a greater continuity of treatment, and a fuller consideration of the many recent changes both in the subject-matter and literature of international law, systematic notes have been added. These may perhaps appear incongruous with the original design; but, even if this be so, it is hoped that the plan of using a concrete case and its governing principle as a starting point for a survey of kindred topics and related principles may not prove altogether ineffective as a means of con veying information. The notes immediately following a selected case are mainly, although not exclusively, directed towards the English or American law on the subject under consideration; whilst the general notes have a, wider range. These notes are necessarily somewhat con densed; but on all topics of importance references are given either to the leading text-books, or to some other source of further information.
