Actes Et Documents Relatifs L Organization De La Cour

The Yearbook presents the works of the International Court of Justice between 1 August 2017 and 31 July 2018, as well as its organization and functioning. The publication also includes annexes describing the Court's history and practice since 1946, as well as the Practice Directions adopted by the Court.

This edition differs from its predecessors in that, at the request of many French-speaking and other jurists, it is now completely bilingual, in the two official languages of the International Court of Justice under Article 39 of the Statute -- English and French. As before, this compilation aims to provide the practitioner in the Court, the diplomat, the politician and the student with a handy and complete collection of documents relating to the operation of the International Court of Justice, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. In order to increase the usefulness of this compilation, the unofficial translations of the Rules of Court of 1978 into Arabic, Chinese, Russian and Spanish -- the official languages of the United Nations -- have been included.
