Abstract
Manfred Lachs has had a 40-year career in international law, as diplomat, scholar, teacher, and, most recently, judge on the International Court of Justice (ICJ). His interests include disarmament (as architect of the Nuclear Free Zone in Central Europe in 1958); peaceful use of outer space (as chairperson of the UN Legal Subcommittee); legal control over local government; and international dispute settlement under the ICJ. The 50 essays in this volume (22 of them in French) reflect this diversity of both subject matter and authors' backgrounds (writers, scholars, practitioners, judges, and jurists from North America, Mexico, France, Great Britain, Poland, Finland, and the USSR, to mention a few).
