The present volume brings together a set of materials unique to the Tunkin family and of considerable interest to historians of international law, legal doctrine, and international diplomacy. The book opens with the Recollections of Grigorii Ivanovich Tunkin by his youngest son, Vladimir Grigorevich Tunkin. These are followed by the texts of Tunkins lectures at The Hague Academy of International Law delivered on four occasions between 1958 and 1986.
