"Pieter Bekker in this study of the work of the Court in the years 1997-2001analyzes its activity in depth and breadth. His introduction provides a useful survey and commentary; his annual analyses of the Court’s judgments, advisory opinions and orders are comprehensive and perceptive." - From the Foreword by Stephen M. Schwebel.
"Dr. Bekker has succeeded admirably in producing, in a single volume, a rich, scholarly, user-friendly and often penetrating manual for the practitioner, or for that matter anyone seriously interested in understanding the contemporary reality of the Court's work. The book stands, in its own right, as a complete overview of the Court's recent activities set in their jurisprudential and institutional context." - Frances Meadows, in: The Law and Practice of International Courts and Tribunals, 2002
