Book Description
The International Court of Justice at The Hague is the principal judicial organ of the UN, and the successor of the Permanent Court of International Justice (1923–1946), which was the first real permanent court of justice at the international level. This 2005 book analyses the groundbreaking contribution of the Permanent Court to international law, both in terms of judicial technique and the development of legal principle. The book draws on archival material left by judges and other persons involved in the work of the Permanent Court, giving fascinating insights into many of its most important decisions and the individuals who made them (Huber, Anzilotti, Moore, Hammerskjöld and others). At the same time it examines international legal argument in the Permanent Court, basing its approach on a developed model of international legal argument that stresses the intimate relationships between international and national lawyers and between international and national law.

Book Description
The first World Court established to address international issues is today recognised as one among the previous important attempts at international pseudo-constitutionalism. The question of the PCIJ's contribution to the current constitutional debate is made all the more interesting because the Court declared itself to be a body responsible for the knowledge of international law. As such, it would be, thus, capable of taking an authoritative stance on the constitutional interpretation of international law.What emerges from the PCIJ's legacy is an image of international law as a legal order based on consensual grounds, ie the State's will, which does not allow to talk about its constitutional features. However, the great significance of the Court's decisions to the contemporary debate on the international constitutionalism consists in warning against the hasty search for analogies between international and national laws within the scope of their systemic underpinnings. The ups and downs of the PCIJ's decisions were conditioned by judges' capability (or lack thereof) to approach an international law that was independent of national law and, in this sense, autonomous. That is what the development of international legal argument in the Court's work depended on.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Project of a Permanent Court of International Justice and Resolutions of the Advisory Committee of Jurists: Report and Commentary To the Board of Trustees of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace: Gentlemen: On the 19th day of April, 1917, the Board of Trustees, at its annual meeting, pledged the Endowment to take such steps as lay in its power to aid in removing the obstacles still standing in the way of the establishment of a truly Permanent Court of International Justice. The resolution in this behalf was worded as follows: Resolved, That the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace shall make a special effort to overcome the remaining obstacles to the establishment of an International Court of Justice, and to this end the Executive Committee is authorized and directed to take such action and at such time as it may deem proper. This resolution had, upon the motion of Mr. Andrew J. Montague, already been adopted by the Executive Committee at its meeting of January 4, 1917, and referred to the Board of Trustees for its approval. At the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees on May 5, 1920, Mr. Elihu Root, President of the Endowment and Chairman of its Board of Trustees, stated that he had accepted membership in an Advisory Committee of Jurists invited by the Council of the League of Nations to prepare a plan for a Permanent Court of International Justice. Mr. Root requested that the undersigned be given a leave of absence to accompany him in an advisory capacity. This request met with the unanimous approval of the Trustees. The undersigned therefore accompanied Mr. Root, attended the meetings and, on occasion, participated in its proceedings. In accordance with the practice of the Endowment, he presents the following report. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
International law is not merely a set of rules or processes, but is a professional activity practised by a diversity of figures, including scholars, judges, counsel, teachers, legal advisers and activists. Individuals may, in different contexts, play more than one of these roles, and the interactions between them are illuminating of the nature of international law itself. This collection of innovative, multidisciplinary and self-reflective essays reveals a bilateral process whereby, on the one hand, the professionalisation of international law informs discourses about the law, and, on the other hand, discourses about the law inform the professionalisation of the discipline. Intended to promote a dialogue between practice and scholarship, this book is a must-read for all those engaged in the profession of international law.
