This volume consists of a carefully edited version of the General
Course on Public International Law delivered at the Hague Academy
of International Law to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the
foundation of the United Nations. The author brings to them not
only his background of academic distinction, but his experience as
a practitioner concerned with major international legal issues.
The rule of law in international affairs is a question of perennial
concern but it is of greater moment these days for a number of
reasons. The active agenda of the Security Council and its relative
solidarity creates a paradox. Its increased political power is a
source of hope but the modalities of the exercise of power present
problems of principle and of legal concern. Another area of concern
is the International Court, which has had a successful record since
the early eighties and provides one of the guarantees of the
maintenance of legality. Recent successes of the Court include the
effective resolution of the territorial dispute between Chad and
Libya. The general level of compliance with its decisions by States
is impressive. Yet its success is matched not by encouragement and
enhancement of its facilities but by United Nations financial
constraints which hinder its work and, ultimately, may threaten its
independence in relation to the political organs of the United
Nations.
