International Court of Justice: Its Functioning and Settlement of International Disputes

There are many unique features of the International court of justice of which no parallels are present in any other international organization. It is a court but without natural authority towards its subjects. It has a law to administer without any agency handing it readymade for adopting or administering. It has to pick something in a lump-form, cut it, carve it, chiself it, give it the shape, dress it, educate it, train it and breathe life into it, give it an identity, a name and call it a rule of international law. This outstanding book on international court of justice–its functioning and settlement of international disputes studies in detail background of international court of justice, composition, jurisdiction, functioning procedure, execution and enforcement of decisions, and role of international court of justice in development of international law.
