Scholarly Works
Article 38 of the ICJ Statutes lists the writings of international law scholars as the last source of international law. But these works are generally the best place to start researching an international law project because they can help you find and recognize rules in other sources such as treaties.
Essential Sources lists dictionaries and encyclopedias, research guides, bibliographies and indexes, and selected international law treatises, periodicals, publications of scholarly international law associations, and internet sources.
