| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This short review essay comments on Hugh Thirlway’s outstanding short book The International Court of Justice and expresses appreciation for his expert knowledge about the International Court of Justice (the Court or ICJ) and its law and procedure. The Essay further observes that, in addition to knowledge about the Court and its law and procedure, other factors may have a great role to play in litigation strategy. As such, litigation strategy is a matter not susceptible to broad-brush commentary, but demands tough soul-searching, in the light of all relevant circumstances and of the larger goals to be pursued. This finds illustration in some non-appearance cases and normal cases before the court and other tribunals. |
