This book explores the role played by international courts and tribunals in the development of global regulatory standards. Focusing on regulatory coherence, due regard for the rights of others, and due diligence in the prevention of harm, the book considers how such standards represent a new relationship between domestic and international law.
Foster's book is truly thought-provoking and her advice for international judges and arbitrators that they 'must remain principled in his or her conception of the judicial function and role and is expected to be able to demonstrate an understanding of the theoretical foundations of the legal order within which they are acting' is extremely relevant in the 'standards-enriched' international law. The book undoubtedly helps build such an understanding.
