For many years the July issue of this journal has included a factual update of developments in cases before the ICJ during the previous 12 months. Recent developments in the electronic delivery of the relevant information and, in particular, the recent and very impressive upgrading of the ICJ website mean that this information is readily available to readers of the journal at the click of a button, so to speak. Accordingly, it has been agreed that this factual update will be discontinued. However, updates on cases before the court as well as the full text of decisions and other information relevant to the functioning of the Court is available from the ICJ website at <www.icj-cij.org>.
