International Arbitration: Past and Prospects : a Symposium to Commemorate the Centenary of the Birth of Professor J.H.W. Verzijl (1888-1987)

Building on the Foundations of public international arbitration in the 19th Century, the 20th century has witnessed a remarkable proliferation of courts for the international adjudication of disputes: e.q., the Permanent Court of International Justice the European Court of Justice, the European Court of Human Rights, & the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. As we approach the centenary of the first Hague Peace Conference of 1899 that inaugurated the 20th century international courts, a panel of international jurists evaluates existing & proposed international courts. International Courts for the Twenty-First Century uses the past & the present to prepare international courts for the new century. The authors help fashion the courts that can help settle international disputes in the coming decades.
