This book offers students a clear and systematic overview of procedures for peaceful dispute settlement in international law.

Suited for readers studying international law, international relations and conflict resolution, The Peaceful Settlement of International Disputes offers a clear and systematic overview of procedures for dispute settlement in international law.Addressing not only inter-state dispute settlement but also the settlement of disputes involving non-State actors, The Peaceful Settlement of International Disputes offers a clear and systematic overview of the procedures for dispute settlement in international law. It covers both diplomatic and legal means of international dispute settlement, focusing on the interaction between the two categories of dispute settlement means. In particular, the book thoroughly examines the law and practice of the International Court of Justice, International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, and inter-State arbitration. It also addresses the settlement of international environmental disputes, which is increasingly important in the international community, and the WTO dispute settlement system. The 2nd edition has been updated by adding new cases and materials to address the latest developments in the field, including the ICJ, ITLOS, WTO, and the United Nations.
