This elegant volume, an excellent collection of up-to-date essays concerning the International Court of Justice, is a Festschrift in honour of the distinguished Cambridge international lawyer Sir Robert Jennings, who has served as a member and finally as the President of the ICJ. Characteristic both of Sir Robert Jennings and the British tradition in international law, these essays, edited by Vaughan Lowe of Cambridge and Malgosia Fitzmaurice of London, reflect the practising lawyer’s perception of the World Court.
