International Law and Justice
Summaries of Judgments, Advisory Opinions and Orders of the Permanent Court of International Justice
Reports of International Arbitral Awards
International arbitral and judicial awards are of considerable importance for they are a "subsidiary means for the determination of the rules of law" as provided in Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice. They are also important from the point of view of the progressive development of international law a task which Article 13 of the Charter places under the responsibility of the General Assembly of the United Nations.Prior to the publication of the United Nations Reports of International Arbitral Awards there existed no systematic collection of such decisions. Yet the need of one had been felt for a long while by the various national and international bodies concerned with international law and by all those interested in its development. This publication is prepared by the Codification Division of the United Nations Office of Legal Affairs.

International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) Special Bibliography
Since the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) by the UN Security Council in 1994 a substantial volume of judicial records has been produced documenting the trial and appellate processes at the ICTR. Those processes have over years of judicial activity produced a new unique and evolving jurisprudence in the field of international criminal justice. That jurisprudence has inspired a large number of legal professionals and scholars around the world to carry out research on a number of novel issues arising from prosecuting the crimes of genocide crimes against humanity and war crimes at an international level. The impact of the ICTR jurisprudence on the quest for the generation of new knowledge has been demonstrated by the global response to the compendious Special Bibliography compiled by the Legal Library.
