Three decades after his ASIL Award–winning studies on the International Court of Justice (1996) and the First Hague Peace Conference (1999), Arthur Eyffinger now presents a monumental, richly illustrated trilogy charting the complete history of the World Court. The landmark publication offers a panoramic view of the Court’s intellectual origins, institutional development, jurisprudence, and human legacy. Meticulously researched and lavishly documented, A World Court Trilogy is a captivating homage to one of the most critical institutions in upholding the global legal order. The publication marks the eightieth anniversary of the ICJ in mid-April 2026. In anticipation of the eightieth anniversary of the ICJ in 2026, Arthur Eyffinger produced A World Court Trilogy. The ambitious project covers the concept of the idea, the genesis and the first century of operation of the ‘World Court’ (the International Court of Justice in the Peace Palace at The Hague) in three substantial volumes. The project is twofold. It provides for volumes that feature a lavishly illustrated presentation of the subject-matter, next to volumes that present the texts only. This latter version includes ample documentation sections and full indexes for reference purposes to the student of the law. All volumes include a wealth of biographies and including reviews of the lives of all the judges who ever served on the Court.
Volumes:
(1) Volume I: The Constitution (1870-1920) This volume assesses the period of constitution of the Court from the wider historical perspective and in light of the time-honoured aspiration to improve on the condition of mankind.
(2) Volume II: The Permanent Court of International Justice (1921-1946) This volume covers the implementation of the concept and the pioneering years of the PCIJ in the Interbellum Years.
(3) Volume III: The World Court Judges, the First Century (1921-2026) This volume introduces eighty years of operation of the ICJ, then to focus on the members of the Court. It provides biographical sketches of all the Judges, who have served on the Bench of the institution from 1921 - 2026.
