Book Description
Legacies of the Permanent Court of International Justice assesses the continuing relevance of the first ‘world court’. Active for merely 2 decades, and dissolved rather quietly in 1945/46 to be replaced by the International Court of Justice, the PCIJ, for better or worse, has shaped our thinking about binding legal dispute resolution. The contributions to this book trace the PCIJ’s impact on procedural and substantive aspects of international law and on the development of the international judicial function.
