Abstract

Legal equality of states is a fundamental principle of international law. The contributions in this special volume examine this principle in today's international law context while engaging also with Pieter Kooijmans' book The Doctrine of the Legal Equality of States. This chapter introduces this 1964 book and briefly discusses the various contributions in the present volume against the background of this book.
