INTRODUCTORY NOTE
This is the second instalment of the Encyclopedia of Public International Law; it contains
175 articles on cases of major importance in international law that have come before
international courts and arbitral tribunals. Decisions of municipal courts and cases connected
with specific areas of law (such as human rights and prize law) do not appear in this
instalment, but are treated separately in the instalments dealing with the subject-areas that
these cases concern.
In order to enable the reader to use the Encyclopedia to the fullest extent, two types of
cross-references are used. Arrow-markedcross-references in the textsof articles refer to other
entries (e.g. The case was submitted to the-+ International Courtof Justice) and are generally
inserted at the first relevant point in an article. When a specific topic might be expected to be
dealt with under a certain title but is discussed either under a different heading or only in a
broader context, the title appears in the alphabetical order with a cross-reference there to the
appropriate article (e.g. INQUIRY see Fact-Finding and Inquiry).
The manuscripts for this instalment were finalized in December 1980.
