Romania and the International Court of Justice

About this book

"Romania has an unwavering attachment for international law, as its observance stands at the very core of Romania's foreign policy. For a country like Romania, the use of international law principles, concepts and instruments is meant not only to enhance the ethic dimension of State conduct in international relations, and thus the International Rule of Law, but it maximizes the efforts for reaching the most important national objectives. Also, there is a significant series of Romanian lawyers who contributed substantially to the development of international jurisdictions. The recourse to international jurisdictions is therefore a natural consequence: Romania has a long history of contacts with, and support for this essential dimension of international law, since the interwar period."
