This work offers ease of access to the ICJ's judgments and advisory opinions given between 25 March 1949 and 3 February 2012. It seeks to help scholars, practitioners and students of international public law quickly to review the Court’s jurisprudence for precedents in the Court’s "canon" and "case law". It allows the reader to read the judgments and opinions themselves, reduced to the unabbreviated and undistorted essence of the Court’s reasoning. The work contains all the timeless elements of the Court’s jurisprudence in one volume, and a highly detailed index of the relevant terms and phrases of the judgments and advisory opinions.
The Role of the International Court of Justice as the Principal Judicial Organ of the United Nations is a thought-provoking and valuable addition to the existing literature on the ICJ. The book’s originality lies in that it provides both the student and practitioner of international law and relations with a comprehensive evaluation of important but hitherto neglected aspects of the work of the World Court: its contribution to the functioning of the UN system; its role in interpreting and developing the institutional law of the UN and in clarifying its purposes and principles, particularly in the settlement of international disputes; the Court’s advisory and contentious competencies and their interrelationship as well as the extent of its supervisory powers over decisions emanating from other UN organs such as the Security Council. The book concludes with practical suggestions on how to develop the Court’s role into a better organisation of justice to enable it to face new challenges for the future.

This work examines the constitution, jurisdiction and procedure of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea on the basis of its Statute and Rules, as well as the Resolution on the Internal Judicial Practice and the Guidelines concerning the Preparation and Presentation of Cases. It gives a critical analysis of the role of the Tribunal in the settlement of law of the sea disputes. The articles were previously published in the "Indian Journal of" "International Law" and are revised, edited and updated for this edition. The contributors are sitting judges of the Tribunal and the book thus gives a perfect insider's view of the law and practice of the Tribunal.
