The Third World & International Law (Bilingual in English and Spanish) Author: Tunku Sofiah Jewa Binding: Hardcover, 315 pages (December 2007) ISBN: 983991006X Price: RM99.00
Synopsis The Third World's position in
international affairs is a difficult one. Misunderstanding of this position has
created a crisis in the international legal order which must be resolved if the
rule of law is to prevail. This dissertation presents the reasons why the Third
World views the development, of the international legal system differently from
those countries which comprise the industrial West. No effort is made, however,
to justify specific Third World positions nor to take into account differences
between the countries of this bloc on specific issues. The dissertation begins
with a discussion of the contributions made to the origin and development of
international law by ancient non-Christian, non-Western civilizations. A
challenge to the point of views of the Eurocentrics is also presented followed
by a discussion of "the White Man's burden" and the novel concept of terra
nullius. The passivity of the Third World while these and other developments
look place is next considered. Thereafter some major areas of confrontation are
presented to demonstrate the present cleavage between the "Two Worlds." Finally,
the conclusion highlights the dissertation's aim that by presenting the Third
World's position on international law a better understanding of its point of
view will ensue.
