Abstract

An international legal order must have rules in regard to the settlement of disputes. These rules are particularly necessary in an international community where all States are not equal in terms of diplomatic power, access to weapons or access to resources, and where there is the potential for massive harm to people and to territory by States. This chapter discusses the general international legal obligations on States to settle disputes; non-judicial settlement procedures; arbitration; specific international tribunals; and the International Court of Justice and its interaction with the Security Council.
