Summary
The system of optional clause declarations is a unique regime of compulsory jurisdiction based on the two World Courts' Statutes. This timely book offers a wide-ranging academic survey of the developments of that system, the theoretical and procedural aspects of the unilateral declarations of acceptance and the reservations added to these declarations. The author critically examines those reservations which undermine the system of compulsory jurisdiction and discusses the major controversies. She considers the various aspects of compulsory jurisdiction giving special attention to the States' practice, the Courts' jurisprudence and both Courts' relevant case law. The book contains a unique comparative analysis of all the declarations of acceptance made since the establishment of the Permanent Court of International Justice while also debating the shortcomings and the future of the system. This comprehensive study will strongly appeal to international law academics and advanced students as well as to practitioners involved with international judicial fora.
