Legal Problems of International Organizations Reissue with New Foreword by Jan Klabbers Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures Series

Felice Morgenstern was one of the leading international organizations lawyers of her generation, producing first-rate academic work based on her vast practical experience, gained as a legal official at the International Labour Organization. This re-issue of her classic Lauterpacht lectures delivered at Cambridge University in 1985 (with a Foreword by Jan Klabbers) discusses three issues in the law of international organizations: their position in public and private international law; issues of membership and representation, and standard-setting. Long out of stock, this re-issue makes Morgenstern's pioneering work available to a new generation of students of international organizations law.

1. The legal environment; 2. Participation in international organizations: representation and representativity; 3. The establishment of standards of conduct by international organizations.

Felice Morgenstern (1926–2000) was educated at Cambridge University, was the first female Whewell scholar at Cambridge (in 1948), and subsequently spent some three decades as a legal officer with the International Labour Organization in Geneva.
Jan Klabbers is Professor of International Law at the University of Helsinki. He is the author of a number of articles on international organizations law, authored An Introduction to International Organizations Law (4th edn, CUP 2022), and edited The Cambridge Companion to International Organizations Law (CUP 2022).
