These books are really good sources for term papers. They give an easy to understand outline and overview of laws and their background and plenty of external resources to look up online and in the library.

A very handy introduction to the idea of international law by a distinguished scholar and international human-rights specialist. Well-written and very useful to anyone beginning to look at what international law means.
