Talk:L. F. L. Oppenheim

Untitled
The part where "citation needed" is marked after the remark on its influence as of today, I guess that one could mention virtually any book on international law and there is bound to be a reference to Oppenheim's. From the pile of books that I have by me the book is mentioned in Dieter Fleck (ed.) The Handbook of International Humanitarian Law, 2nd edition (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008); Dino Kritsiotis, "International law and the relativities of enforcement" in James Crawford and Martti Koskenniemi (eds.) The Cambridge Companion to International Law (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2012), p. 245-268; Catherine Brölmann, The Institutional Veil in Public International Law: International Organisations and the Law of Treaties (Oxford: Hart Publishing, 2007); and I could go on and on but I got struck by apparent laziness. Hence, I do think that there is no particular need for a citation here nor is it missing. The only way to show its importance even today would be to account to all the scholarship that has found inspiration from the Oppenheim's in its numerous editions. Surely, it is no longer a standard textbook on the matters but it still deserves its place in the annals of international law. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.232.112.207 (talk) 19:52, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
