Reports of Judgments, Advisory Opinions and Orders: Case Concerning Certain Criminal Proceedings in France (Republic of the Congo V. France)

The International Court of Justice serves as a global tribunal established by the UN Charter, addressing disputes from all countries, regardless of UN membership. It relies on international law principles, conventions, and customs to make its decisions. The Court's rulings are initially released in advance-sheet format and later compiled in an annual bound volume with an index, making it an essential resource for any comprehensive international law collection.
