Latin America and the International Court of Justice

This book evaluates the contribution of Latin America to the development of international law at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) from a multifunctional perspective.

It culminates with an expansion of the traditional understanding of the function of the ICJ by Latin American states, including an analysis of existing challenges in the region.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of international law and Latin American studies.
