Summary

In the preface to the first edition of this book I wrote:

In the introductory chapter of this book I have attempted to justify its publication in spite of the apparently vast literature that already exists on the subject. It is hoped that it will not be regarded as yet another book on local remedies. The primary intention was to bring some element of clarification to and fresh insight into a rather confused but inviting area of the law of State Responsibility. This is all the more important now, particularly in view of the great increase of the flow of investment across national frontiers and the ease with which international travel is possible.

This still remains true for this second edition of the work. It must be emphasized that individuals as aliens, because of the ease of travel, are as much affected by the rule of local remedies as foreign legal persons.

The second edition, like the first, is concerned with the rule of exhaustion of local remedies which came into existence in the context of diplomatic protection of aliens.
