Countries engage with the International Court of Justice as litigants, as participants in advisory proceedings, and less directly, through contributions of nationals as judges or lawyers. A broad range of scholarship within the discipline of public international law examines this engagement. Specific regional experiences are often emphasised and grouped, for example, by western, African or Asian accounts. Yet the nature and extent of scholarship on a single country’s engagement with the Court is less commonly explored. This article surveys scholarly approaches to specific domestic engagement with the ICJ. It focuses on six countries – Australia, France, Nicaragua, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States – and examines the scholarship generated by each of these countries’ encounters with the Court. This scholarship provides insights into politics, history, institutional practice, professional experience and international legal doctrine. Preliminary in scope, the article points to the value of empirical, historical and country-specific accounts of the work of the ICJ.

研究与国际法院针对特定国家的交往

各国作为诉讼当事人、作为咨询程序的参与者与国际法院接触，而不是直接通过国民作为法官或律师的贡献来参与。国际公法学科范围内的广泛奖学金研究了这种参与。特定的区域经验经常被强调和归类，例如，根据西方、非洲或亚洲的帐户。然而，关于一个国家与法院接触的学术研究的性质和范围较少被探讨。本文调查了与国际法院进行特定国内接触的学术方法。它侧重于六个国家——澳大利亚、法国、尼加拉瓜、俄罗斯、英国和美国——并考察了这些国家与法院的接触所产生的奖学金。该奖学金提供了对政治、历史、制度实践、专业经验和国际法律学说的见解。在初步范围内，文章指出了对国际法院工作的经验、历史和特定国家的说明的价值。
