Chittharanjan F. Amerasinghe, Member, Institute de Droit International; former Judge, UN Tribunal, New York. Chittharanjan F. Amerasinghe was awarded the Certificate of Merit of the American Society of International Law in 1989 for his two volume treatise The Law of the International Civil Service (published by OUP). In making the award, ASIL described the book as 'a work of great distinction.'
"The book reads as an authoritative work of reference and a brilliant companion to ILC's work on the subject of diplomatic protection. And despite its richly annotated nature and forthright manner, Amerasinghe's book is nonetheless user-friendly and I'm certain that it will be of the utmost use for students and practitioners of international law alike" - Paavo Kotiaho, Finnish Yearbook of International Law
