To mark the fiftieth anniversary of the International Court of Justice, a distinguished group of international judges, practitioners and academics has undertaken a major review of its work. The chapters discuss the main areas of substantive law with which the Court has been concerned, and the more significant aspects of its practice and procedure in dealing with cases before it. It discusses the role of the Court in the international legal order, and its relationship with the UN's political organs. The thirty-three chapters are presented under five headings: the Court; the sources and evidences of international law; substance of international law; procedural aspects of the Court's work; the Court and the UN. It has been prepared in honour of Sir Robert Jennings, judge and sometime President of the Court

The International Court of Justice as the main judicial body of the United Nations has had several occasions to rule on human rights aspects. It did so in an advisory manner, but also in legal proceedings. Thus, in its numerous decisions, it had the opportunity to point out that respect for human rights is an international obligation binding on all States. In the context of the Court's interventions in the field of human rights, a number of assessments can be made as to their impact both on States, on international organisations and institutions or on the international community in general. Therefore, what assessment can we make of the role of the International Court of Justice in protecting human rights? I shall therefore first reflect on the effectiveness of its action in the light of international law and then consider the limits of its intervention in the field of human rights. ; International audience ; The International Court of Justice as the main judicial body of the United Nations has had several occasions to rule on human rights aspects.
