Kluwer Law International, a Wolters Kluwer subsidiary with its headquarters in The Hague (the Netherlands) and activities in Europe and the United States, focuses predominantly on international legal and tax information targeted towards practitioners. The decision to divest the publishing activities in the fields of Public International Law, Human Rights and related subject areas, follows the recent integration of Kluwer Law International with Aspen Publishers, a subsidiary of Legal, Tax & Business North America.
The publications in Public International Law and Human Rights are amongst the world's market leaders and are highly esteemed by librarians, researchers and authors alike.
The programme consists of over 1650 book titles, 17 journals and 5 loose leave publications. The programme includes well-known academic authors and some famed statesmen, institutions and politicians. The publication programme has approximately EUR 4 million annual revenues. The two key publishers related to the programme will transfer to Brill.
