Since the original edition of The Charter of the United Nations was published the text of the Charter may not have changed but the world has. Rwanda, Somalia, Kosovo, and September 11th have had a lasting impact on international law and the Commentary has been fully updated to take their impact into account. The new edition has been completely revised and features a completely new part on Chapter VII and enforcement measures of the Security Council; a thoroughly updated text on the prohibition on the use of force and self-defence; a comprehensive update on peace-keeping, peace-making, and peace-enforcement; an introduction to international criminal law before UN tribunals; new theoretical pieces on sovereign equality and UN non-intervention; a revised part on membership and the Yugoslav question; and new texts on women's rights and the UN human rights mechanisms. This is the authoritative, article-by-article account of the legislative history, interpretation, and practical application of each and every Charter provision. Written by a team of distinguished scholars and practitioners, this book combines academic research with the insights of practice, and is an indispensable work of reference for all those interested in the UN.The Commentary will be crucial in providing new directions for the development of international law and the United Nations in the twenty-first century.

Recensione:
Simma's Commentary is an indispensable guide through the Charter of the United Nations and a 'must-have' for any international law library. (Austrian Review of International and European Law)

...extremely timely...Simma's Commentary has again secured its position as the standard work on the law and practice of the UN, and one of the essential reference tools of every academic and practising international lawyer... Simma's Commentary is undoubtedly the most up-to-date, and, one can safely assume, the most detailed work dealing with the practice of the UN. The depth of research is quite staggering. (Australian Year Book of International Law)

It is impossible in this review to address each of the many impressive components of this reference tool par excellence. The second edition of the Commentary maintains the high standards set by the first edition. (Australian Year Book of International Law)

...both editions are invaluable resources for all Charter articles, for anyone who has either a passing or serious interest in the UN. If the UN Charter is the constitution for contemporary International Law and Relations, then this work is the seminal commentary about the Charter's original and evolving raison d'être. (American Society of International Law Newsletter)

...remarkably accessible. The reader is guided through the legislative history, general meaning and specific problems. This combination of detail and clarity combine to produce an invaluable work of reference for practitioners and a fascinating study for any academic. (Law Quarterly Review)
