The book provides a two-fold service. Firstly, it quotes from the most significant Awards and Decisions at sufficient length so that both their substance and the reasoning of the Tribunal can be understood from access to the present volume alone. Secondly, it organizes and summarizes the decisions to facilitate finding complete texts relevant to any particular issue. Judge Aldrich also recounts the sometimes tumultuous history of the Tribunal and provides insights into its accomplishments and its shortcomings. The book will be of interest to any international lawyer, but particularly those involved in international arbitral practice and those interested in judicial remedies and the pacific settlements of disputes.
This important new book seeks to preserve and to make accessible the substantial body of Awards and Decisions rendered by the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal during the years since it was established in 1981. The jurisprudence of this extraordinary Tribunal is of much broader interest than simply to the parties before it and the two governments that created it. Its hundreds of Awards and Decisions may be individually consulted (there are twenty-seven volumes so far) but hitherto there has been no detailed analytical guide through the vast published work of the Tribunal.
