Description

This collection of essays by international lawyers seeks to provide an informed analysis of the growing spectrum of remedies available in international forums for breaches of international law. The major institution active in offering remedies for such breaches is the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and this volume contains reflections by two of its members, Judge Higgins and Judge Koroma. But the ICJ is no longer alone in offering a forum for the granting of remedies; the proliferation of bodies includes the European Court of Justice, the World Trade Organization and the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea. Several of the contributions in the book deal with these institutions and their work. In addition there are essays on mediation in international law, diplomatic settlement and arbitration.
