The Iran–United States Claims Tribunal is the most important source of international arbitral decisions for at least the past half-century, and its decisions have contributed significantly to the development of international law and the law of international commercial transactions. This book is about the jurisprudence of the Tribunal. It seeks to preserve and to make accessible the substantial body of Awards and Decisions rendered by the Tribunal during the years since it was first established. The Tribunal’s hundreds of Awards and Decisions may be individually consulted (there are 27 volumes so far), but hitherto there has been no detailed analytical guide through its vast published work. This book provides a two-fold service. First, it quotes from the most significant Awards and Decisions at sufficient length so that both their substance and the reasoning of the Tribunal can be understood from access to the present volume alone. Second, it organizes and summarizes the decisions to facilitate finding complete texts relevant to any particular issue.
