Extract

Few periods of history disclose less harmony, mutual respect and trust among nations than the present. It may therefore seem inappropriate in such an atmosphere to discuss the place of law and courts, since they can function effectively only in periods of relative stability. Yet the very fact that international law is in some respects passing through a depression may sharpen our perspective and emancipate us from the illusions of the recent past. We may get a better grasp on realities and more correctly gauge the prospects for an ordered international life.
