Overview
This volume provides both the student and practitioner of international law and relations with a comprehensive evaluation of important but hitherto neglected aspects of the work of the World Court: its contribution to the functioning of the UN system; its role interpreting and developing the institutional law of the UN and in clarifying its purposes and principles, particularly in the settlement of international disputes; the Court's advisory and contentious competencies and their interrelationship as well as the extent of its supervisory powers over decisions emanating from other UN organs such as the Security Council. It concludes with practical suggestions on how to develop the Court's role into a better organisation of justice to enable it to face new challenges for the future.

Reviews
' Principal among the author's suggestions is to grant the Secretariat of the UN, as represented by its Secretary-General, the power to request advisory opinions of the Court on any legal question related to its activity in the service of the Organisation, in the same way as the other principal organs of the UN. This would be perfectly in line with the increased recognition of the Secretary-General's and the UN's contribution to a better organised and more peaceful world, for which they were recently awarded the Nobel Peace prize in December 2001.'<br>From the Foreword by Mohammed Bedjaoui.
