    Resolving international disputes: the role of courts: Ken Keith discusses the evolution of the international legal framework and his experiences as a judge of the International Court of Justice.

    The role of courts in resolving international disputes is now well established. But this has not always been the case. Established in 1945, the International Court of Justice reflected the intention of the United Nations' founders that the judicial process would have a central place in the settlement of international disputes by peaceful means. After a promising start, the court became increasingly inactive, and by 1970 its docket was completely empty. Forty years later the international judicial landscape is transformed. International courts and tribunals abound, including criminal tribunals established by a variety of means. States are increasingly willing to enter international litigation.
