The current volume supplements Volume 1 and 2 of The Construction of a Humanized International Law, which contains a selection of the Individual Opinions of Judge Antônio A. Cançado Trindade (1991-2013), former Judge and President of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and since 2008 a Judge of the International Court of Justice. Volume 3 brings these texts up to date till 2015. Many dwell on aspects of the increased humanization of international law. Elevating this body of norms, which have traditionally focused on purely inter-State relations, to a level where individuals and their suffering (projected in time) become a primary concern, is without doubt Antônio A. Cançado Trindade´s major doctrinal contribution. His great achievement at the International Court of Justice has been to draw attention to this dimension, and to further its development in the international case-law, in the light of the universal juridical conscience and stressing the relevance of general principles of international law. In a significant number of cases the World Court acts today as a human rights court, dealing increasingly, albeit under the traditional umbrella of inter-State disputes, with situations that involve human suffering and lead it to find human rights violations.

"The [set of] volumes by Judge Antônio A. Cançado Trindade - The Construction of a Humanized International Law - is an important addition to the Series “The Judges”: it portrays Judge Cançado Trindade´s endeavours, marked by deep knowledge and experience in the path towards the realization of international justice. The [ ] volumes are systematically presented, with the learned Individual Opinions of Judge Cançado Trindade covering virtually all chapters, and all the main topics, of contemporary international law. There is ample coherence in the author´s reasoning, going well beyond the settlement of disputes, into saying what the Law is, with close attention to fundamental principles and a substantial doctrinal elaboration, bringing law and justice together. This corresponds to Judge Cançado Trindade´s conception of the proper exercise of the international judicial function. In their preface and general introduction, Judge Dean Spielmann and Dr. Andrew Drzemczewski provide additional elements for a proper understanding of Judge Cançado Trindade´s influential humanist conceptualization. The [ ] volumes are a most valuable contribution to the study of contemporary international law, and are due to become a source of necessary consultation by scholars of the discipline of distinct generations" – Professor George R.B.Galindo, review article in: Revista do Instituto Brasileiro de Direitos Humanos 14/14 (2014)
