Résumé

This book addresses the consequences of European integration for the position of public international law in the European Union and its Member States. Increasingly, international law has become a part of the EU legal order and is thereby "europeanised". The consequence is that its application and interpretation by the Member States is no longer solely a matter for their own constitutional order, but is also governed by EU law. The book illuminates critical questions pertaining to this triangular relationship, such as : whether we are dealing with the emergence of a distinct European system of public international law ; the extent to which Member States actually recognise the effect of this 'europeanisation' of international law ; and the role of the European Court of Justice with respect to the application and interpretation of "europeanised" international law within the Member States. The book is geared towards academics, practitioners and government officials alike.
