The Law and Practice of the International Court, 1920-1996, Third Edition
Author:
The popularity of his monumental and definitive works have established Shabtai Rosenne as the undisputed expert on the International Court of Justice’s law and practice.
The fiftieth anniversary of the United Nations and of the International Court of Justice has provided the author with the opportunity and the incentive to re-examine his previous writings about the Court. His broad exchange of correspondence and extensive conversations with members of the Court and its Registrars, as well as with other friends who know the Court and its practices well, led him to undertake this major reconstruction of this work.
Now divided into several substantive volumes, the work addresses
· The Court as one of the principal organs, and as the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. Diplomats and legal advisers who have to deal with matters relating to the Court on a political level, in different organs of the United Nations and in other offices will appreciate the full discussion of the diplomatic, political, and administrative aspects of the Court’s affairs.
· Jurisdiction and the treatment of jurisdictional matters by the Court. This volume also includes the Court’s advisory jurisdiction; the advisory work has related to very difficult legal issues in matters of major political import.
· The Court’s procedure.
All of these arenas have undergone significant recent changes.
The work’s practical features include the English text of the Charter of the United Nations, the Statute of the Court, and the 1978 Rules of the Court, together with a full set of indexes.
The Third Edition of The Law and Practice of the International Court is an essential component of all international law libraries and an indispensable work for those practicing in the field, all of whom will appreciate access to the most recent work on the Court from this expert author.

’One has to be selective when reviewing four volumes of Ambassador Rosenne's seminal work not only because of space limits but also because the reviewer has to grasp the essentials of the work, which is broad as to variety and importance of issues discussed and detailed and meticulous as to the handling of these issues.[...] In the first volume I would also like to single out as an issue of wider importance: the relationship between political and legal or justiciable and non-justiciable disputes, between the Court and political organs of the UN and between the political and the legal in IR generally. Here, as in many other areas, the significance of Rosenne's work goes far beyond what one may expect reading its title. [...] It is impossible to do justice to this important work in a short review. It has to be read and re-read whenever one in whatever capacity has dealings with the ICJ. Important as Rosenne's work may be for international litigators, its influence, however, far transcends the circle of foreign office legal advisors, international law professors and a limited group of council and advocates who appear before the ICJ. This book will no doubt have a major impact on dispute settlement procedures in international relations.'
