Abstract
dc:description.abstractThe South West Africa cases represent the most protracted litigation in the history of the International Court of Justice. The decision by the Court in 1966 left many experts with the thought that the Court was in danger of dying from atrophy or that use of the Court would be curtailed. It appeared that these prophets of doom might be correct. Between 1969 and 1971 no case came before this high tribunal. Only after the advisory opinion of the International Court concerning South West Africa did the business of the Court increase. While the use of the Court has been increasing, proposals have been made for special arbitration proceedings which by-pass the International Court of Justice. The absence of cases before the Court for two years, the failure to return to pre-1966 case levels, and the inclusion of special arbitration agreements in new treaties indicate that the Court faces a problem of credibility.
