Few books on international law ever touched upon the problem of the legal status of the divided status. Yet Prof. von Glahn has a section specifically devoted to the discussion of the problem of divided states under international law.Also, I found his use of cases to illustrate the various issue in international law especially helpful.

Nevertheless, he could have provided an overview of the history of similar cases, together with the countries which may have signed treaties.
