Publisher's Synopsis
This bilingual English-French book contains speeches delivered on September 23, 2013 at the International Court of Justice (The Hague) to commemorate the Centenary of the Peace Palace. Judge Antonio Augusto Cancado Trindade's presentation traces the evolution of international justice over a 100 year span. In the current era of international tribunals, he identifies the advances achieved in their common mission, the current challenges facing them, and the prospects for the future. Dean Spielmann - President of the European Court of Human Rights - underlines the close link between the International Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights and the need to maintain this link in order to preserve harmony in case-law at the international level.
