The Foreign Relations Law of the United States

This volume addresses the U.S. approach to three areas of foreign relations law, with limitations: Treaties but not other forms of international agreements U.S. views on Jurisdiction, but not generally on separation of powers or federalism Sovereign Immunity, but not other immunities required or regulated by international law.

The Restatement of the Law Fourth, The Foreign Relations Law of the United States also has an active project that will cover topics not addressed in the previous Restatement Fourth volume on selected topics in treaties, jurisdiction, and sovereign immunity, as well as selected topics that have emerged since publication of the Restatement Third. Tentative Drafts of the ongoing project will be available for purchase on this site as they become available.
