The Global Community

International law scholars and lawyers can rely on The Global Community Yearbook to better understand the wealth of case law now emanating from international courts and tribunals. Two new volumes each year include in-depth articles addressing topics of jurisprudence, while shorter notes explore current legal issues and provide context for the year's cases, which comprise the majority of the set. The editor, Giuliana Ziccardi Capaldo, has assembled a comprehensive look at the present and future development of the international legal order. Each major international court or tribunal has its own section, which includes an introductory article on the activity of that organization over the course of the year. The activities of the court and tribunals are presented in the form of "legal maxims," that distil the most important elements of the legal decisions of the past year and that provide researchers with quick access to the relevant point of law in each case. The cases themselves are indexed within each court's section, and then again in a general index for the entire set. Contributed to by leading legal experts, The Global Community Yearbook addresses the major developments in the courts and tribunals, providing a valuable resource for anyone wishing to better understand the functions, decisions and structure of the international legal courts.International Courts and Tribunals covered include: International Court of JusticeInternational Tribunal for the Law of the SeaWTO Dispute Settlement SystemInternational Criminal Tribunal for RwandaInternational Criminal Tribunal for the Former YugoslaviaCourt of First Instance and Court of Justice of the European CommunitiesEuropean Court of Human RightsInter-American Court of Human RightsIran-U.S. Claims TribunalInternational Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).
