THE WANG TIEYA LECTURE IN PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL LAW |
The Peaceful Settlement of International Disputes
Correspondence: * Blackstone Chambers, Temple, London (email: clerks{at}blackstonechambers.com)
The purpose is to provide a general survey of the practice among States of the peaceful settlement of international disputes. The survey reflects the variety of instruments for peaceful settlement, including negotiation, conciliation and commissions of inquiry. Care is taken to indicate the quantitative significance of the inter-State arbitration in relation to the use of standing international tribunals, such as the International Court of Justice. The analytical commentary includes discussion of the typology of disputes and the comparative merits of arbitration and the process of adjudication in the International Court.
This is the text of the first Wang Tieya Lecture delivered on 31 March 2009 at the National Key Research Center, Wuhan University Institute of International Law, China, on the occasion of the first Wang Tieya Award sponsored by the Center and the Chinese Journal of International Law.
