Solidarity: A Structural Principle of International Law (Paperback, Previously published in hardcover)

This volume presents a high-level scholarly discussion on whether the concept of solidarity functions as a structural principle of international law and to what extent it has become a full-fledged legal principle. Each contributor addresses these questions by examining normative operations of the principle of solidarity in different branches of international law including international disaster law, international humanitarian law, the law of development cooperation and international environmental law as well as the relationship between the principle of solidarity and other legal principles such as the responsibility to protect and intergenerational equity.
