In view of the fundamental differences between national and international sources of law, citation rules found adequate for domestic legal research often are inappropriate when applied to international and foreign legal materials. The "International Citation and Research Guide" (The Greenbook) is a ground-breaking project tailored to the needs of an international readership by providing information useful for worldwide and highly diverse professionals. The ICRG set, conveniently organized into global regions, is a source of foundational and comprehensive citation standards for scholars working with all types of international and foreign materials. It presents each citation standard in the context of that country or organization's history and legal institutions. It is also a general resource of basic legal background on international organizations and countries that would otherwise be difficult to research. It can be used as a companion to The Bluebook, whose coverage of international sources is necessarily limited. Staff members researched legal as well as other existing governmental citations in order to create and/or interpret and implement citations. The examples reflect local or international citation practice for documents written in English, harmonizing them to provide a flexible global standard of legal citation. Each chapter also has an introduction to provide the country's background and political structure.--Publisher.
