First sentence: As the predecessor of the present International Court of Justice, the Permanent Court of International Justice was a historic 'melting-pot' of ideals about international justice and, according to some, international community as well as notions of international law.
Description: "The book draws on hitherto unpublished archival material left by judges and other persons involved in the work of the Permanent Court, giving insights into many of its most important decisions and the individuals who made them (Huber, Anzilotti, Moore, Hammerskjold and others). At the same time it examines international legal argument in the Permanent Court, basing its approach on a developed model of international legal argument that stresses the intimate relationships between international and national lawyers and between international and national law."--BOOK JACKET.
