Provisional Measures in International Law: The International Court of Justice and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea

Provisional measures of protection, the international equivalent of an interim injunction, are assuming growing importance in international law. This book re-examines the law and practice of the International Court of Justice and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, and examines their use of provisional measures both for the peaceful settlement of international disputes and, where appropriate, for protecting individual rights.
