Extract

Quite obviously, the entry into force of various amendments to the Statute of the Permanent Court of International Justice, on February 1, 1936, necessitated a revision of the Court’s Rules. Preparations for this event had already been undertaken by the Court, and the task was promptly completed. The new Rules were adopted and promulgated on March 11, 1936, and they have since been published in a third edition of Series D, No. 1, of the Court’s publications.
