Language and Legal Interpretation in International Law (Oxford Studies in Language and Law)

The purpose of this book is to cast light on the workings of language in international legal interpretation in the context of contemporary processes of globalisation. We take an explicit interdisciplinary perspective, which includes both legal theories of interpretation and linguistic theories of meaning, and both legal philosophy and the philosophy of language. The book treats the subject as it appears within and across different legal fields - international economic law, human rights law and international criminal law, EU law, and international arbitration. It also includes more general perspectives on international legal interpretation, among them comparative law, multilingualism and legal translation--
