This book provides a full overview of the judicial activity of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) during the five-year period 1997 - 2001, following the format of a previous volume describing the decisions from 1987 - 1996. Each chapter opens with a summary of the judicial activity of the ICJ during a given year, using the General List of ICJ cases, pleadings filed, Orders, Judgements and Advisory Opinions issued and hearings held at the Peace Palace to describe the statistics on the docket of the ICJ. The sections in each chapter describe the facts of a particular case, the arguments of the parties involved and the decision of the ICJ, together with the commentary by the author, a former ICJ staff lawyer. The book includes a limited number of reprints from the American Journal of International Law, together with lots of new material.
