This book analyses Nicaragua's role in the development of
international law, through its participation in cases that have
come before the International Court of Justice. Nicaragua has
appeared before the ICJ in fourteen cases, either as an
applicant, respondent or intervening State, thus setting an
important example of committment to the peaceful judicial
settlement of disputes. The “Nicaraguan” cases have enabled the
ICJ to take positions on and clarify a whole range of important
procedural, jurisdictional and substantive legal issues, which
have inspired the jurisprudence of international and regional
courts and tribunals and influenced the development of
international law.

The book focuses on reviewing Nicaragua's cases before the ICJ,
using a thematic approach to identify their impact on
international law. Each chapter includes a discussion of the
relevant cases on a particular theme and their impact over time
on general as well as specific branches of international law,
notably through their use as precedent by other international
and regional courts and tribunals.
