Australia in the International Legal System  

From Empire to the Contemporary World

Edited by Madelaine Chiam and Alison Duxbury 


What impact has Australia had on international law?

This collection of essays delves into the history of Australia's interactions with international law and considers how its people have shaped it. It explores issues such as the country’s imperial and settler past. It assesses how Australians have contributed to institutions such as the ICJ, the UN and the British Commonwealth.

It gives a fascinating insight into international law’s impact on a domestic legal system and the complex and multifaceted nature of that relationship.

Madelaine Chiam is Senior Lecturer in the La Trobe Law School, Australia.

Alison Duxbury is Professor of Law at the University of Melbourne, Australia.
