The book by psychologist Sofia Nagornaya and lawyer Shamil Khaziev entitled “The duty of a lawyer and the ethics of a psychologist: mental (psychological) torture in the legal system of Russia” is devoted to the actual theme of psychological torture. This work is the first interdisciplinary development of this theme in Russia. The book consists of two parts. In the first part, entitled “The duty of a lawyer”, the authors draw attention to the relevance and current dynamics of the development of the general theme of the prohibition of torture, including psychological torture. The second part, entitled “Ethics of the psychologist (international experience)”, continues the development of the theme of psychological torture with the greatest interdisciplinary psychological bias. Special attention in this part is paid to the analysis of international experience in the fight against mental (psychological) torture.

This article is a book review of Sang-Hyun Song (ed) Korean Law in the Global Economy (Bak Young Sa Publishing Co, Seoul, 1996) 1500 + viii pages (including index), US$197 (including airmail, tax and handling). The book is a key reference text that covers virtually all aspects of Korean law relevant to New Zealanders, with the author arguing that it belongs in every New Zealand library. While the book suffers from the occasional typographical error, Nottage concludes that the book is an excellent resource, and Professor Song has succeeded in his aim of offering the means to achieve a basic understanding of the Korean law and legal system as they operate in the real world.

The settlement of inter-state disputes is an integral part of the international legal system. The obligation of States to settle their disputes peacefully is enshrined in Article 2(3) of the Charter of United Nations. In turn, Article 33 of the Charter identifies different means that can be employed by United Nations Member States with a view to peacefully resolving inter-state disputes, including, inter alia, “negotiation, enquiry, mediation, conciliation, arbitration, judicial settlement”.
