The World Court Vol. III

(available by Mid-2024)

Addresses the full seventy-five years of the ICJ. It elaborates on the jubilee volume produced by the author on the occasion of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Court, back in 1996. Its layout and substance are arranged in much similar way as the Volumes I and II. The history of the Court, its infrastructure and expansion are discussed in light of the development of the UNO and world organization as such, including the Decolonisation Process and the drawbacks of the Cold War Era. It amply discusses the spectacular process of globalisation and the expansion of the discipline of international law. It details the role of research bodies and institutions, such as the Geneva-based International Law Commission (f. 1948), and the ramification of international courts and tribunals over the past few decades. Full biographies of all judges who graced the ICJ over the past seventy-five years are complemented with surveys of the contributions of distinct legal and cultural traditions and Continents. The overall arrangement and layout of the illustrated and text-only editions are in line with the formula adopted in the earlier volumes.
