The International Court of Justice, 1946-1996

by Arthur Eyffinger

A lavish volume published to mark the first half-century of the Court. It provides a well-documented and abundantly illustrated retrospective of the Court's activities from its origins to the present day, and also investigates the history of the development of the law, from the early notions of justice and equity as they originated in municipal spheres to their assembling on an international level. Eighty-some judges are profiled, each with a photo and a full page of text. The bibliography is extensive. 9.25x13" Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
