Law Book Review
Law of international organizations
Law of international organizations has occupied a prominent place in the corpus of international law. The legal curricula of Bangladeshi universities have laid emphasis on this branch of law. But for a long time there is a vacuum of authenticated books on this subject. The recent publication by Dr Rabiul Hossain on international organization would fulfill this vacuity to a large extent. Dr. M Rabiul Hossain is a well known academician in the legal arena. He has been serving as a teacher of law at the University of Rajshahi for many years with his prominent approach. As he has taught the subject 'International Organisation' for more than two decades, the book under review "Fundamentals of International Organisation" is the production his illustrious knowledge on this subject.
This book deserves appreciation from the very fact that it has written by an author who has close affiliation and vast experience on the particular subject. The book overall contains 8 chapters. Chapters are designed in accordance with updated information as much as possible relating to the Organisations. Chapter 1 deals with elementary discussion and basic structure of international organisation.Chapter 2 deals with elaborate discussion about 'League of Nations' and United Nations in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 discusses 'Specialised Agencies.' Regional organizations have been depicted in a lucid manner. Chapter 5 has emphasized generally on 'Continental Regional Organizations and 'Inter Continental Organisations has been included in Chapter 6. Rule of Law is an essential part of the Judiciary. The role of International Court of Justice has been evaluated from a critical point of view as the chief organ of the United Nations. There are some more international courts beyond the frame work of the United Nations which are dealt separately. Some Prominent Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have been accommodated in the content of chapter 8.
It is a matter of pleasure that not because of the fact books are sufficiently available on the subject, but materials are gettable through internets. But the book covering all the requirements of the subject is still unavailable. Law students would perk up such a painstaking publication as the book has covered the entirety of the subject. Though some books by Indian authors relating to the subject are available in the market but this book is an exception to those as the author has incorporated all the materials required to be desired for the exclusiveness of the subject. The readers would get a thorough grasp of functioning of international organizations from this book with recent developments. Indeed this book may be a reference for Legal learners, practitioners and examinee of the BCS and JSC examinations.
