This new edition is a comprehensive manual of the rules of
procedure for the conduct of business at the UN General Assembly,
at international conferences and at assemblies of
inter-governmental organisations such as the IAEA, ICAO, ILO, IMO
and WHO. It examines the legal basis of these rules, the history of
their development and the attempts at their codification. At the
heart of the book is an examination of the practical applications
of rules of procedure. Sabel also considers whether certain
procedural rules and applications have become so well established
that they have now attained the status of customary international
law. The book is of interest to those involved in international
law, international relations and international organisations. It
also serves as a practical manual for delegates to the UN General
Assembly and to international conferences.
