Abstract
The BRICS-Lawyers Guide to BRICS Texts and Materials presents a first systematic compendium of the most important texts and materials that have emerged from the cooperation among the BRICS member states. This compilation has been brought together with an intention to make these materials accessible for the convenient use by government officials, practicing lawyers and arbitrators, scholars and students of international relations, business, economics and law. The texts are comprised of treaties, summit declarations by heads of state, ministerial declarations, declarations adopted by the BRICS Legal Forum and other official documents. The book also includes a chronological presentation of the first decade of BRICS cooperation. It is followed by a discussion on the concept of the sources of (international) law in order to aid in the attempts to classify the various BRICS documents in terms of “sources of BRICS law”.
