Decisions of international courts and arbitrators, as well as judgments of national courts, are fundamental elements of modern public international law. The International Law Reports is wholly devoted to the regular and systematic reporting in English of such decisions. It is therefore an absolutely essential work of reference. Volume 212 includes the 2024 United States District Court and Court of Appeals decisions in Defense for Children International—Palestine v. Biden, the judgment in Compensation for War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity of the Italian Constitutional Court and the 2024 United Kingdom Supreme Court judgment in Argentum Exploration Ltd v. South Africa.
