The Twenty-Fifth Year of the World Court

The chief preoccupation with regard to the WorldCourt during the year 1946 was the reorganization required by the modifications introduced into its Statute in 1945.1 This involved chiefly the dissolution of the Permanent Court as it was constituted under the Statute of 1920, the election, of Judges to constitute the International Court of Justice, the organization of the newly-elected bench and the reestablishment of the Registry, and the adaptation ofthe Rules of Court to take account of the changes in the text of the Statute. Various administrative measures were adopted by the United Nations, in consequence of its replacing the League of Nations as the body responsible for the maintenance of the Court, and some progress was made during the year in extending the Court's jurisdiction. No contentious proceeding was instituted during 1946,2 no advisory opinion was requested, and hence no entry wasmade in the list of cases before the Court
