Abstract

This article discusses the judicial vision articulated by Judge Christopher Weeramantry in his time as a member of the International Court of Justice. It seeks to trace the development of his vision by examining his earlier writings, and the factors which shaped his approach to international law. It discusses some of the key elements of his vision: his sensitivity to Third World concerns, his attempts to create a universal international law which represents all the world's cultures, and his views of the judicial function and the international rule of law.
