New book : Diplomatic and Judicial Means of Dispute Settlement
The settlement of international disputes has been one of the most researched fields of international law since the adoption of the Charter of the United Nations. The obligation to settle international disputes through peaceful means, raised to the category of one of the fundamental purposes and principles of the Organisation, has contributed to the development of the practice of traditional means and the multiplication of new ones. Consequently, legal commentary has followed this path. Indeed, major studies exist on both diplomatic and judicial means of settling disputes. Some have a general scope, covering the full array of available means or a significant portion of them. Others focus on a specific method (e.g. mediation or inquiry) or on a given area of international law (e.g. human rights, environmental law, international trade or foreign investment). Yet, little attention has been devoted specifically to the interaction between diplomatic and judicial means of international dispute settlement.
