9 Supra note 7.

10 By contrast, the Weiss/Szasz/Magraw collection, supra note 7, includes a wider range of documents, including human rights treaties, national constitutions and voluntary agreements.

11 In both of the last-mentioned respects, the collection by Rüster & Simma, supra note 6, is preferable to the Hohmann collection.

12 The basis of these clusters is at times idiosyncratic. For example, the 1980 UNEP Guidelines on Cooperation between States in Weather Modification and the FAO International Undertaking on Plant Genetic Resources are included as “supplemental documents” to the 1982 World Charter for Nature.
