Traces the World Court from the Hague Conference of 1899 and shows its development through World War I, the League of Nations, World War II, and the cold war up to the contemporary challenges of East Timor and Kosovo. Also distinguishes between the nation-state oriented work of the World Court nad the work of the International Criminal Court which was proposed in 1998 to prosecute individual war criminals like Milosevic and others coming out the the conflicts of the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. Discusses the common problem that World Court and the ICC have: resistance in Washington to the international rule of law, especially when it comes to authority surrounding the use of force.
