This volume has been compiled at a time when international law is facing many difficulties. To put it more dramatically, it can be said that this book has been compiled in a time of crisis. This claim does not simply relate to the current context of the year 2020, when this volume was first published (i.e., in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic).
This volume was originally published based on three feature articles presented in the September issues of H¨ritsu jih¨ (Law Journal) between 2017 and 2019, along with a few new articles added later. The special features in this book include "The Present State of International Legislation," "The Present State of International Criminal Law," and "Legal Dynamics in the International Economic Order."
This volume is not intended to cover every detail of all fields related to international law. Rather, it narrows its focus and discusses the ambitious parts of current international law as well as the concerns arising therefrom. The volume, furthermore, highlights the attempt to open up a new horizon and its related challenges with respect to international law. T
