Important additions to the new edition include an entirely new chapter, Humanitarian Emergency, Health and Migration Law and a thoroughly revised International Economic Law chapter with extensive new material on trade, investment, and development. Materials on Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine have been added, as well as material on cryptocurrencies, and updates to the discussion on climate change and other global environmental concerns.

Professor Diane Desierto has joined the book, bringing her expertise on international economic law, human rights, and dispute resolution. Together, the book's four authors have extensive knowledge and experience of five continents, making The International Legal System, 8th Edition the most international of all available international law casebooks. The book also retains its enduring strength: Investigating the inter-linkages of international, national, and regional law.
