Opis

The International Court of Justice at The Hague is the principal judicial organ of the UN, and the successor of the Permanent Court of International Justice (1923-1946), which was the first real permanent court of justice at the international level. Drawing on previously unpublished archival material left by judges and other persons with intimate knowledge of the Permanent Court, this book describes the ground-breaking contributions of the Permanent Court to international law.
