Kindred’s International Law Chiefly as Interpreted and Applied in Canada, 10th Edition introduces the experience and practice of international law from a Canadian perspective, in both domestic and foreign relations. A publication of long-standing quality and distinguished reputation, this casebook has been repeatedly cited as an authority by the Supreme Court of Canada and other Canadian courts, including most recently in Lapaix v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2025 FC 111 (CanLII). It delivers a comprehensive overview of the foundational concepts, principles, sources, and institutions of the international legal system, while examining key subject areas of importance in the world today.
The tenth edition includes a new chapter on international economic law and coverage of theoretical perspectives. Readers will also benefit from updated commentary and excerpts on major international law developments related to the Russia-Ukraine war, climate change, the South China Sea Arbitration, heightened activity on the international criminal law front, and more.
This is the only publication of its kind that can offer its reader the guidance and legal sources required to develop a solid and multifaceted understanding of international law from a Canadian perspective.
