INTERNATIONAL LAW
AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES
OXFORD MONOGRAPHS IN
INTERNATIONAL LAW
The aim of this series of monographs is to publish important
and original pieces of research on all aspects of public interna¬
tional law. Topics which are given particular prominence are
those which, while of interest to the academic lawyer, also have
important bearing on issues which touch the actual conduct of
international relations. None the less the series is wide in scope
and includes monographs on the history and philosophical
foundations of international law.
