Time and International Adjudication fills a gap in international legal literature in the field of international dispute settlement, by providing a wide selection of stimulating contributions by leading international lawyers and scholars, aimed at discussing the role of time in proceedings before international courts and tribunals.

The analysis covers inter-State proceedings before both permanent courts and tribunals (such as the ICJ, ITLOS and the DSB of the WTO) and arbitral tribunals, as well as international proceedings between individuals and States before regional human rights courts and investment tribunals.
