' Pieter Bekker in this study of the work of the Court in the years 1997-2001analyzes its activity in depth and breadth. His introduction provides a useful survey and commentary; his annual analyses of the Court's judgments, advisory opinions and orders are comprehensive and perceptive.'<br>From the Foreword by Stephen M. Schwebel.<br>' Dr. Bekker has succeeded admirably in producing, in a single volume, a rich, <br>scholarly, user-friendly and often penetrating manual for the practitioner, or for<br>that matter anyone seriously interested in understanding the contemporary reality of the Court's work. The book stands, in its own right, as a complete overview of the Court's recent activities set in their jurisprudential and institutional context.'<br>Frances Meadows, The Law and Practice of International Courts and Tribunals, 2002.
