A New Era for the International Court of Justice

 

The International Court of Justice has more cases before it than at any time in its history. This panel will survey pending and recent cases before the International Court of Justice and examine compliance with decisions of the court. After that survey, the panel and audience will engage in an interactive discussion on the court and whether its increasing docket suggests a new role for the court in international dispute resolution.
