Blackstones Statutes Books have been designed specifically with the law student in mind. Each book has been compiled to meet the needs of specific courses, on the basis of extensive research of what those courses cover. By selecting only the essential materials, we have been able to restrictboth the size and the price of the books and by excluding commentary, we have made the books ideal for use in examinations.The fifth edition has been updated by the inclusion of Protocol No 12. to the European Convention on Human Rights and the two Optional Protocols to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the 1999 UN Convention for the Suppresion of the Financing of Terrorism, the Draft Articles on StateResponsibility adopted by the International Law Commission in 2001 whilst the selection of domestic statutes now includes sections from the 2001 International Criminal Court Act. The collection has also been expanded to include the 1994 WTO Agreement and the related Understanding on DisputeSettlement.
