“While some researchers would approach the study of the Court through an article by article analysis and commentary, this approach would detract from the didactic goals and conceptual unity of the work. Instead, Professor Abello takes a thematic approach as he analyses the important features o the ICJ while taking into account their transition from the earlier PCIJ. The reader will understand the continuity between the Permanent Court of International Justice, an organ of the League of Nations and the International Court of Justice, the judicial organ of the United Nations. The Optional Clause of Compulsory Jurisdiction is a symbol of the continuity between the PCIJ and the ICJ”. “A la manera de un investigador que separa los elementos de un cuerpo para su análisis, el autor aborda el estudio de la Corte en su estructura y funciones, precedido por la transición de la Corte Permanente de Justicia Internacional a la actual Corte Internacional de Justicia. Prefirió, entonces, una división temática a una que lo habría llevado a comentar artículo por artículo el Reglamento de la Corte pero en desmedro de la unidad conceptual y la facilidad didáctica, propósito declarado por el autor. Entenderá el lector la continuidad entre la Corte Permanente de Justicia Internacional, órgano de la Sociedad de Naciones, y la Corte Internacional de Justicia, órgano judicial de la ONU y cómo el símbolo de tal continuidad es la aplicación a la última Corte citada de las Declaraciones Facultativas de Jurisdicción Obligatoria emitidas para la primera”.
