Publication Announcment: Digest of United States Practice
in International Law

Submitted by Peter Whitten

The International Law Institute is pleased to announce the return to annual publication of the Department of State’s Digest of United States Practice in International Law. Over the years the work has been recognized as one of the most important publications in the international law community. As in the past, each volume is prepared by the Office of the Legal Adviser of the Department of State and covers important developments in all areas of public and private international law.

The Digest ceased annual publication in 1980. The initial volume in the renewed series covers the calendar year 2000. A volume for 2001 is also now available.

In 1992 the Legal Adviser’s Office published a three-volume set covering 1981-1988. As publication of current annual volumes continues, the Legal Adviser’s Office and the Institute will cover 1989-1999 in a similar comprehensive manner. A volume covering 1989-90 will be published in the spring of 2003. See reverse for information on ordering the Digest and to establish a standing order.

The renewed Digest reports on fundamental topics covered by earlier editions but also add topics to reflect the growth of new areas of jurisprudence in international law.
