If not this book and Brownlie in general, my bachelor's degree would not have existed. There were many of them Cassese, Malanczuk, Shaw, Harris and other luminaries of jurisprudence. But Brownlie was one of the most important and serious, but first steps in international public law, as in this particular field and also in jurisprudence in general. A wide source of inspiration and one of the best ways to improve your skills and qualification.

რომ არა ეს წიგნი და ზოგადად ბრაუნლი, ჩემი საბაკალავრო ნაშრომი არ იარსებებდა. იყვნენ ბევრნი კასესე, მალანჩუკი, შოუ, ჰარისი და იურისპრუდენციის სხვა კორიფეები. მაგრამ ბრაუნლი საერთაშორისო საჯარო სამართალში როგორც ამ კონკრეტულ დარგში, ასევე ზოგადად იურისპრუდენციაშიც ერთ-ერთი მნიშვნელოვნი და სერიოზული მაგრამ პირველი ნაბიჯი იყო. შთაგონების ფართე წყარო და კვალიფიკაციის ამაღლების ერთ-ერთი საუკეთესო საშუალება.

It was very boring but insightful. Don't try to read the whole thing in one sitting unless you are trying to break a record or impress your friends. (Note to those trying to impress their friends by reading this in one sitting: They will think you are crazy and won't in the slightest be impressed). Seriously though, this book is really helpful if you need to know the basics of international law.

This is an exceptional book. When we joined the Jessup International Moot Court competition last 2013, this was very helpful. It's not only the substance that I was able to appreciate but also the way it was written. When I read our Memorials two years after, I felt like they were the best pleading I've written in my life and I think I really owe it to Sir Ian Brownlie.

It may be helpful to non-lawyers reading this book, in a future edition, to elaborate footnote 27 on p173, bring it into the main body of the text, and to bind together the subsections of part 3 formally if this has not already been done.
