1 One suspects, for example, that the international lawyer rarely will feel the need to look up such entries as “Coca-Cola,” “Department Stores” and “Rugby.”

2 There are a few exceptions. One is in the entry on “Consensus,” where the author gives his opinion on the utility of decision making by consensus in international organizations. He finds it to be indispensable.

3 For example, the author omits the procedural provisions of the American and European Conventions on Human Rights, and includes only one of the protocols to the European Convention.

4 A reader looking for the European Economic Community Treaty, for example, would find it (actually, its first 136 articles) under the heading, “Rome Treaty, 1957.” There is a crossreference, though, under “European Economic Community, EEC.”
