• Compendium of Philippine Practice on International Law

State practice is a key element in the development of customary international law and may, by itself, bind the State if considered as unilateral declarations or a form of general principle of law.  There is therefore a need to provide a comprehensive reference for Philippine state practice in order to identify and protect the national interest.  Thus, a Compendium of Philippine Practice on International Law which is a compilation of short articles on Philippine practice on specific subjects in international law, is envisioned to cover 15 different international law subjects with 15 contributors, providing academics, lawyers, and policy-makers a brief overview of the different fields of international law from the perspective of and as applied in the Philippine context.
