CONNECTING INTERNATIONAL LAW WITH PUBLIC LAW This series of books flows from workshops bringing public and inter- nationallawyersandpublicandinternationalpolicy-makerstogetherfor interdisciplinary discussion on selected topics and themes. It aims to broaden both public and international laws’ understanding of how thesetwoareasintersect.Untilnow,internationalandpubliclawhave mainly overlapped in discussions on how international law is imple- mented domestically. This series is unique in consciously bringing together public and international lawyers to consider and engage in eachother’sscholarship.
