Abstract
IN March 1984 the International Court of Justice handed down its judgment dismissing Italy's request to intervene in the Libya/Malta Continental Shelf dispute.' The reasoning of the judgment raises serious questions as to the role that the Court considers that it should play in the development of the rules and principles of international law. This article is in two parts: the first deals with the case and its antecedents; the second examines the problems and concerns to which it gives rise.
