The Development of International Law by the International Court
Vai alla copia |
Originally published in 1958, as a revised
edition of The Development of International Law by the Permanent Court of
International Justice (1934), this book received the Annual Award of the
American Society of International Law in 1960. The achievement of the text is
that, rather than attempting to provide a treatise on the organisation of
international law, or a systematic digest of decisions made, it finds its basis
in an appraisal of the international judicial process as a factor in the
development of the law. From this position, ideas of great depth and subtlety
are put forward regarding the nature of international justice and its
possibilities. This is an important book that will be of value to anyone with an
interest in its subject
