Decisions of international courts and arbitrators, as well as judgments of national courts, are fundamental elements of modern public international law. The International Law Reports is the only publication in the world wholly devoted to the regular and systematic reporting in English of such decisions. It is therefore an absolutely essential work of reference. Volume 196 is devoted to Ukraine v. Russian Federation, Micula and Others v. Romania, Kingdom of Spain v. Infrastructure Services Luxembourg S.à.r.l, R (Friends of the Earth Ltd and others) v. Heathrow Airport Ltd, Micula and Others v. Government of Romania.
