Significant use has been made of the jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice because it is the principle judicial organ of the world's most universal international organization, the United Nations. Moreover, article 103 of the Charter of the United Nations makes the obligations in this treaty superior any other treaty obligations into which States may enter.

The Dictionary of Public International Law contains a chronology, an introduction, glossary of Foreign Terms, tables of Treaties and Cases, an extensive bibliography, and an index. The dictionary section has over 400 cross-referenced entries on significant persons, important treaties and conventions, organizations and tribunals, and important cases and issues they have dealt with. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about international law.
Industry Reviews
Law schools are offering more courses in public international law, so this volume, which explains the many principles, treaties, declarations, and other international agreements referred to by practitioners and the news media, is especially useful. The entries are substantial, averaging around a page in length, and are understandable to people unfamiliar with this area of law. The introduction to the book is lengthy and is primarily a history of the field that places entries in context. It mostly deals with actions of the United Nations, but other countries are also included. The book is helpful for those wishing to understand the ideals of international law, not as it is in actual practice. For instance, the entry on women points out that the UN has failed to meet its own goal of having 50 percent of its senior positions held by women (as of April 2017). Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty. * CHOICE *
