"There is enough here for even the most demanding of undergraduates. For those about to embark on higher-level specialized courses, I doubt this collection could be beaten as a point of departure."
— Martin Dixon, Times Higher Education Supplement

"The first editions of Evans' International Law provided an excellent and accessible overview of public international law for advanced use. The third edition clearly makes it a leading overview of PIL"
— Märta C. Johanson, Senior Lecturer in Public International Law, Örebro University, Sweden

— German Law Journal
