Digest of International Law

The Office of the Legal Adviser publishes the annual Digest of United States Practice in International Law to provide the public with a ready source of current information on the views and practice of the Government of the United States in the arena of public and private international law. Following a hiatus from 1989-1999, publication of the Digest recommenced with calendar year 2000. Since then, annual volumes for 2000 through 2003, a two-volume set covering 1991-1999 and a volume for 1989-1990 have been published. Annual Digests for 2004 and 2005 will be available by the end of 2006. A brief history of the Digest and explanation of the current format of the book is provided in the Introduction: Digest of United States Practice in International Law 2000 .
