Publisher's Synopsis
The International Court and World Crisis is a book that explores the role of international conciliation in resolving global conflicts. Written by Julius Stone, it was originally published in January 1962 as part of the International Conciliation series, which is a collection of publications by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The book focuses on the International Court of Justice, which is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. Stone examines the court's history, structure, and procedures, as well as its role in resolving international disputes. He also discusses the court's limitations and challenges, including its lack of enforcement powers and the political pressures that can influence its decisions. The book is particularly relevant to the early 1960s, a time of significant global turmoil, including the Cold War, decolonization, and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Stone argues that the International Court can play a crucial role in promoting peace and stability in the face of these crises, but only if it is given the resources and support it needs to function effectively. Overall, The International Court and World Crisis is a thoughtful and insightful analysis of the challenges facing international law and institutions in a rapidly changing world. It is an important read for anyone interested in international relations, conflict resolution, and the role of law in global affairs.Additional Editors Are Elizabeth G. Korbonski And Janet Cameron Duffy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
