International Courts Sentences

The decisions of the international courts have an important role concerning the consolidation of international law rules. CEDIN aims to make available the international legal decisions, favoring the access of this important instrument for the improvement of the International Law. As a first step, the International Law Center offers, on its website, part of one of the most important works of International Law ever written in the country, making the access to the complete International Court of Justice Sentences public and exclusively translated into Portuguese.
