Description

The popularity of his monumental and definitive works established Shabtai Rosenne as the undisputed expert on the International Court of Justices law and practice of his time. Irrefutably the leading work on the court, previous editions of Rosennes Law and Practice of the International Court have influenced generations of legal scholars, practitioners, judges, and students alike. The Fifth Edition, by Malcolm N. Shaw, combines his expertise as both an academic and practitioner to bring this monumental resource up-to-date while retaining Rosennes distinctive voice, erudition, and rigorous objectives. Preserving Rosennes focus on the caselaw of the court, the Fifth Edition is supplemented with increased references to the leading academic literature, and, like the Fourth Edition, is divided into four substantive volumes: Volume I: The Court as one of the principal organs, in particular the principal judicial organ, of the United Nations. Diplomats and legal advisers who deal with matters relating to the Court on a political level and through different organs and offices of the United Nations will appreciate the full discussion of the diplomatic, political, and administrative aspects of the Courts affairs. Volume II: Jurisdiction and the treatment of jurisdictional matters by the Court. This volume also includes the Courts advisory jurisdiction, and how that work relates to complex legal issues in matters of major political import. Volume III: The Courts procedure. Volume IV: The works final volume includes the English texts of the Charter of the United Nations, the Statute of the Court, the Practice Directions, the Rules of the Court, and a full set of indexes.
