ABSTRACT
So that i s the first thing Iwanted to do; to p u t the problem i n t h e p e r s p e c t i v e o f the very considerable change in the nature o f international law and the b r e a k i n g down o f t h o s e o l d barriers. The idea Iwas taught as an undergraduate that public i n t e r n a t i o n a l l a w was something on aspecial plane o f its own and quite d i f f e r e n t from municipal l a w and the w o r k o f municipal courts, is no longer even approximately true. So it is not surprising perhaps that, in this c r u c i a l and new context, there has been aproliferation o f adjudicating t r i b u n a l s o f various kinds.
