About the product
This publication is a collection of international awards or decisions rendered between States, including cases involving espousing or respondent governments on behalf of individual claimants. The present volume reproduces the awards in two arbitration cases, namely, the Arbitration regarding the Indus Waters Kishenganga between Pakistan and India, and the Arbitration regarding the Chagos Marine Protected Area between Mauritius and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. International arbitral and judicial awards are of considerable importance, for they are a "subsidiary means for the determination of the rules of law" as provided in Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice. They are also important from the point of view of the progressive development of international law, a task which Article 13 of the Charter places under the responsibility of the General Assembly of the United Nations.
Cette publication fut conçue en 1948 comme collection de sentences arbitrales ou de décisions rendues entre États, y compris concernant les affaires impliquant des gouvernements au nom de particuliers. Le présent volume reproduit les sentences dans deux affaires d'arbitrage, à savoir l'arbitrage concernant les Indus Waters Kishenganga entre le Pakistan et l'Inde et l'arbitrage concernant la zone marine protégée de Chagos entre Maurice et le Royaume-Uni de Grande-Bretagne et d'Irlande du Nord.
