Abstract
This Chapter addresses the Court in its present institutional form, addressing its dual function in relation to the settlement of contentious disputes and its advisory function in relation to the organs of the United Nations. Taking into account the Court's enduring concern for its consensual jurisdiction, this Chapter considers the various powers the Court has claimed for itself on the basis that these are inherent in the function of any judiciary, both in relation to its contentious and advisory functions. It concludes with an extended discussion of the Court's role in the development of international law.
