¨  A presentation of the legal questions presented to, and arbitrated by, the Iran-United States Claim Tribunal (the “Tribunal”) in hundreds of cases during eighteen years of continuous activity in the complex field of international dispute resolution. Such a huge legal endeavor attests plausibly to the Tribunal’s imposing presence in the practice of international commercial arbitration.

¨  The structure of the book has been designed such as to facilitate access to the source materials spreading over thousands of pages which have been either published in the Grotius’ iran-united States claims tribunal reports (28 volumes —a collection of twelve years of the Tribunal’s activity) or retrievable only in the archive of the Tribunal.

¨   The contents are classified and presented in two parts:

– Part I (Cases Analysis) contains analytical discussions in three chapters, successively:  Procedural Rules and Practices; Obligations in Private Law; Interstate Disputes. Part I comprises a variety of issues of private and public international law: the birth of the Tribunal, jurisdictionalissues focusing on the locus standi of different categories of litigant parties (states, corporation, double nationals, etc.), evidence, various types of judicial documents issued by the Tribunal, contract law, international responsibility, expropriation, expulsion, valuation of expropriated properties.

– Topics are methodically outlined under headings and sub-headings; each subject is developed and discussed in the form of a commentary, enhanced and backed up by relevant citations from the Tribunal’s official texts. 

– Part II is a consolidated subject index to the 28-volume collection of the Tribunal’s official materials reported unofficially by the Grotius Publication Limited, Cambridge —a compendium which covers the Tribunal’s case law over a period of twelve years, beginning from the signature of the Algiers Accords (the Tribunal’s constituent documents) through December 1992.

¨   Appended to Part I are the integral text of the basic documents of the Tribunal, two tables of cases (one related to the cases as cited in this work, and the other listing those cases which have been reprinted in the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal Reports), table of legislation and subject index.

¨ PDF version of the book can be downloaded from the Internet at special order. This version has been designed in order to facilitate navigation in Adobe Reader through hundreds of cross-references with the aid of hyperlinks. (This service was removed after the updated edition 2003)
