Abstract

The two-volume book *Selected Articles on International Law, Adjudication, and Arbitration* by Dr. Seyed Jamal Seifi, a distinguished international arbitrator and former judge at the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal, compiles articles published over three decades in Iranian legal journals. Volume 1, published in 2023, contains twelve articles divided into three sections: Arbitration (4 articles), the International Court of Justice (4 articles), and the Substance of International Law (4 articles). Volume 2, published in 2024, includes eight older articles from 1994 to 2011, organized into two sections: International Arbitration and Adjudication (4 articles) and the Substance of International Law (4 articles). The articles reflect Dr. Seifi’s dual expertise in international arbitration and public international law, addressing topics such as the evolution of arbitration, the role of the International Court of Justice, and contemporary issues in international law, including state sovereignty, investment arbitration, and the legal regime of the Caspian Sea. The review highlights the enduring relevance of these articles, particularly in light of recent developments in international law, and underscores their contribution to enriching Iran’s legal scholarship. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the intersection of international arbitration, adjudication, and public international law.
