The World Court Digest is a continuation, in a new shape, of the Fontes Juris Gentium, Series A, Section I, which, in its first four volumes, cover the decisions of the Permanent Court of International Justice and the Hague Permanent Court of Arbitration and is devoted, in volumes five to seven, to the jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice from its establishment until 1985. The period from 1986 to 1995 has been reproduced in the two volumes of the World Court Digest which will be continued periodically in the future.”Google Scholar
