Week 08: Peaceful Settlement of Disputes (Part-I)

Peaceful Settlement of Disputes        

   Historically, International Law has been regarded by the international community as a means to ensure the establishment and preservation of world peace and security.  The maintenance of international peace and security has always been the major purpose of the International Law.    It was the basic objective behind the creation of the League of Nations in 1919 and the United Nations in 1945. Since the direct cause of war and violence is always a dispute between States, it is therefore in the interest of peace and security that disputes should be settled.  Methods and procedures for the peaceful (pacific) settlement of disputes have been made available in the International Law.
