The United Nations Compensation Commission

International claims, for centuries resolved by mere two-party settlements or not resolved at all, have in recent decades become the focus of several important international institutions, foremost among them the United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC). This widely-used book covers the establishment, nature, operations, and contribution of the UNCC, emphasizing the work of the Iran-US Claims Tribunal, disputes between Kuwait and Iraq, judicial due process, mass claims processing, and compensating victims of crimes of state. Because international claims commissions and the law they apply and clarify are important to claimants, attorneys, governments, and everyone concerned with the resolution of transnational disputes, this remains an important source book far into the 21st century.
