Case Concerning Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide: (Croatia V. Serbia) Preliminary Objections Ju
The International Court of Justice-the only truly worldwide
tribunal- was ceated by the original Charter of the United Nations
and operates under its own statute. Its jurisdiction extends to all
countries of the world regardless of whether they are members of
the United Nations and considers only issues submitted to it by
parties in dispute. The decisions issued by the Court are based on
general principles of international law, international conventions,
and international custom. The Court first publishes its decisions
in advance-sheet form, then later in an annual bound volume with an
index. The set should be found in any serious international law
collection!
