Research Handbook On The International Court Of Justice eBook

Incorporating a comprehensive analysis of the key functions of the ICJ, including the attainment of international peace and law-making, leading experts situate the jurisprudence of the Court in a broader theoretical framework. They identify its core judicial practices and delineate its interactions with international and supranational courts and tribunals such as the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, the Court of Justice of the European Union and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Ultimately, this Research Handbook interrogates the centrality, power and authority of the ICJ and encourages further research in the field.

The Research Handbook on the International Court of Justice is an important resource for academics in public international law, international relations, political science and sociology. It will also benefit practitioners seeking to better understand the functions and jurisprudence of the ICJ as well as international dispute settlement more broadly.
