that form integral parts of the journal’s process of continuous renewal. This step is, in one
sense, a logical one for the purpose of monitoring the development of the international
order towards a legal system for a global community, albeit ethics currently must be viewed
as an embryonic phenomenon. The Yearbook aspires to respond to exactly such a phenom-
enon, especially since various precursors for its integration appear to contain a promise for
a dynamic pattern.
Concerning continuity, the Yearbook has already celebrated its 15th anniversary. On
that occasion, in 2015, I announced the most recent improvements and the future course
of the journal. In 2017, I mentioned yet more changes. Now, in 2018, I can present the fol-
lowing summary of the steps to enhance the Yearbook going forward as follows.
First, several other distinguished scholars agreed to join the boards (see Editor’s Note,
of this Yearbook 2015), just as we embarked on a number of new projects that are either in
the execution phase or have been completed. Unfortunately, we had to announce the de-
parture of two giants of international law. It was with great sadness that the Yearbook had to
mention the loss of respectively Professor M. Cherif Bassiouni and Professor John Merrills,
authoritative members of the Board of Editors.
Second, the Yearbook has been redesigned. Previously, it was published in two volumes.
The Yearbook now consists of one volume. Besides improving the user experience of the
print version, this change will also improve the e-book and its Oxford Scholarship Online
(OSO) version. The latter constitutes an important step and tool for the Yearbook.
Third, since 2015, the Yearbook has regularly featured commentaries on the OUPblog
on a variety of topics. The 2017 edition continued this activity with much enthusiasm (see
my post No-impunity as a Global Constitutional Principle, January 11, 2018 at https://blog.
oup.com/2018/01/no-impunity-constitutional/).
However, the 2017 edition also introduced a couple of changes to the part 6, entitled
“Recent Lines of Internationalist Thought,” which has otherwise been included in the
Yearbook since 2006. The main objectives of this part are to give an overview and a critical
appraisal of the current international law literature, provide readers with an opportunity to
study and interpret issues from different perspectives, examine different methodologies,
and explore ideas from different cultures. Another novelty for this part concerns the subject
behind the original authorship—meaning that the Scholar/Judge who contributes thoughts
and ideas is also talking about his own work. It is customary for somebody in authority to
talk about himself! The Yearbook wishes to utilize this fact and indeed resource as yet an-
other platform for disseminating research findings as well as communicating experiences of
a more practical-professional nature.
Professor Cançado Trindade’s 2017 contribution was the official inauguration of the
above-mentioned new features of the part. Being widely recognized for his very creative
ideas and innovative approaches, the choice of Professor Cançado Trindade was a perfect
one for this special occasion. The Yearbook used the form of an “autobiographical essay” to
capture his experiences in different roles, from teaching international law to practicing as
a Judge and President of international courts. It is hardly surprising that one of the main
intentions was and—after having launched the format successfully—continues to be to
shine the light on the challenges faced by the emerging world society.
In this edition (2018), the reader will thus be able to enjoy an exciting and intriguing
encounter with Professor Thomas Weiss’s magistral essay for the part 6 in question. In this
piece, the author’s pursuit of global governance is explored both in his capacity as a scholar
and as a practitioner. Scholarly-analytically, the essay addresses the contemporary reality
of international organizations and multilateral cooperation. However, as former chair of
the Academic Council on the UN System and as a recognized authority on international
organizations, Professor Weiss draws on valuable professional experiences when he focuses

ARTICLES
This part is devoted to significant doctrinal contributions to international legal theory and
gives priority to works dealing with changes in the rules and structure of the international
community. The aim is to follow the development of the international legal order and the
building of the global community heralded at the end of the second millennium. This part
is at all times open to report on fresh developments and to debate new, and other contra-
dictory, trends.
IN FOCUS
Beginning with the 2008 issue, the Yearbook includes a part entitled “In Focus—Global
Policies and Law,” exploring the globalization of politics, communication, economics,
culture, and the environment, while identifying objectives, programmes, models, public
policy choices and emerging global policies, and considering some of the major issues and
challenges facing the world as a whole, in an attempt to enhance the coordination and har-
monization of norms and procedures and the implementation of global law.

To this end we have chosen to focus on the areas of international law in which different
international courts operate; therefore, this part consists of seven modules corresponding
to the areas listed below (in addition, an introductory module has been added to illustrate
key concepts):
The aim is to identify the emergence of common rules (substantial and procedural) in the var-
ious contexts. In each area eminent international law scholars will carry out an analysis of the
points of convergence and divergence not just between the decisions handed down by courts
operating in the same area but also between the decisions of tribunals and international courts
operating in other areas, dealing with different matters, examining the coherence (or lack
thereof) of their jurisprudence when they apply the same international norms, also of a cus-
tomary law nature. In comparing the decisions of the various tribunals, a constant element will
be the reference to the International Court of Justice and the way the decisions of other interna-
tional tribunals relate to its jurisdiction. However, not all the modules will be offered annually
but only whenever there are developments in each of them that will be interesting to note.
The Yearbook is the first academic journal to present an annual overview of the pro-
cess of cross-fertilization between courts, based on the drafting and systematic classifica-
tion of legal maxims (i.e., points of law decided by various international courts) in the part
entitled “Global Justice—Decisions of International Courts and Tribunals.” A comprehen-
sive and complete survey by eminent international law scholars exploring, evaluating and
documenting this process has the potential to enhance our contribution and thus further
guide our understanding of how to reduce conflicts and create an effective exchange of legal
reasoning between different courts. The aim is to promote a favourable environment for the
courts to advance the process of judicial cooperation with a view to the possible harmoni-
zation of legal principles governing the global community.

Fig. 336. Glossopteris Browniana, Brongn. Sporangia. (× 30). After Arber.
The rhizome of Glossopteris Browniana has been described in
detail by Zeiller, who first demonstrated that the fossils originally
assigned by Royle[1318] to the genus Vertebraria represent the stem
of this and, as we now know, of some other species of Glossopteris.
Vertebraria occurs in abundance in Permo-Carboniferous strata in
association with Glossopteris; the differences between Australian,
Indian, and South forms, though expressed by specific names, are
insignificant. The stems are usually preserved in the form of
flattened, single or branched, axes sometimes bearing slender
branched roots and characterised by one or two, or less frequently
three, longitudinal grooves or ridges (fig. 337) from which lateral
grooves or ridges are given off at right angles, dividing the surface
into more or less rectangular areas 1 cm. or more in length. The
surface of these areas is often slightly convex and in some
specimens the outlines of cells may be detected. Mr Oldham has
described some interesting examples of Vertebraria from India in
which the longitudinal and transverse grooves are occupied by a
dark brown ferruginous substance or by the carbonised remains of
plant-tissues (fig. 338, C, D). In transverse section, a Vertebraria
cast appears to be divided into a number of wedge-shaped
segments radiating from a common centre. Prof. Zeiller[1319] has
figured specimens of Vertebraria with portions of Glossopteris fronds
still attached.

A, B. Vertebraria indica. (After Zeiller.)
C, D. V. indica. (Nat. size. After Oldham.)
E, F. Onoclea struthiopteris. (× 2. After Zeiller.)
Mr Oldham, who discovered the connexion between Glossopteris
and Vertebraria independently of Dr Zeiller, does not agree with the
interpretation of the structural features of the rhizome which Zeiller
bases on a comparison between Vertebraria and Onoclea
struthiopteris. Oldham[1321] describes Vertebraria as consisting of a
central axis “joined to an outer rind by a series of radial septa,” the
spaces between the septa being divided into chambers by
transverse partitions. His view is that the rhizome of Glossopteris
was a cylindrical organ and not an irregularly winged axis like the
stem of Onoclea. Zeiller[1322] has replied in detail to Oldham’s
interpretation and adheres to his original view, that the rhizome
consisted of a solid axis with radial wings or flanges which at
intervals anastomosed transversely in pairs at the nodes. It may,
however, be possible that the spaces between the longitudinal and
transverse grooves on a Vertebraria axis, which have been filled with
the surrounding rock, were originally occupied in part at least by
secondary wood, and the transverse strips of carbonaceous
material[1323] lying in the grooves may represent medullary-ray tissue
and accompanying leaf-traces. The longitudinal striations seen in
some specimens of Vertebraria on the areas between the grooves
may be the impressions of woody tissue. It is impossible without the
aid of more perfectly preserved material to arrive at a satisfactory
conception of the structural features of a complete Glossopteris
rhizome.
Fig. 339. Glossopteris fronds attached to rhizome. (From a specimen lent
by Dr Mohlengraaff. Considerably reduced.)
In the specimen of Glossopteris Browniana shown in fig. 339
several leaves are attached to an axis which shows none of the
surface-features of Vertebraria. I am indebted to the kindness of Dr
Mohlengraaff of Delft for the loan of this specimen which was
obtained from Permo-Carboniferous rocks in the Transvaal. An axis
figured by Etheridge[1324] from an Australian locality bears a tuft of
Glossopteris leaves, possibly G. Browniana; in place of the
rectangular areas characteristic of Vertebraria it shows transversely
elongated leaf-scars or, on the internal cast, imbricate rod-like
projections which Etheridge suggests represent vascular bundles.
Fig. 341. Glossopteris indica, Schimp. (× 1½.) From Arber, after Zeiller.
This species occurs in great abundance in the Permo-
Carboniferous rocks of India, Australia, and in various parts of South
Africa, and elsewhere. It has been recognised also by Amalitzky[1329]
in Upper Permian beds in Russia and by Zeiller in the Rhaetic series
of Tonkin[1330].

Lesleya.
This generic designation was instituted by Lesquereux[1359] for
simple oval-linear leaves from the Coal-Measures of Pennsylvania.
The leaves so named are probably generically identical with the
specimen doubtfully assigned by Brongniart[1360] to the Coal-
Measures, and made by him the type of the genus Cannophyllites on
the ground of a resemblance to the leaves of the recent flowering
plant Canna. Fig. 347 illustrates the form of a Lesleya leaf from the
Coal-basin of Gard, named by Grand’Eury L. simplicinervis[1361], a
type in which the veins are frequently unbranched and not
repeatedly forked as in most examples of the genus (fig. 329, C).
The features of the genus are, the oval-linear or lanceolate shape of
the presumably simple frond, its entire or, in one species at least (L.
Delafondi, Zeill.), finely dentate margin, the stout rachis giving off at
a very acute angle numerous dichotomously branched secondary
veins. In L. Delafondi (fig. 329, C), described by Zeiller[1362] from the
Lower Permian of Autun, the frond may reach a length of more than
20 cm. and a breadth of 8 cm. Similar species are represented by L.
ensis[1363] from the coal-field of Commentry, and L. grandis[1364] from
Upper Carboniferous rocks of North America. The genus is
characteristic of Upper Carboniferous and Lower Permian strata: the
form of the leaf and the direction of the secondary veins suggest
comparison with Glossopteris, but in Lesleya there are no cross-
connexions between the veins. Nothing is known as to the
fructification, a fact which naturally evokes the opinion that the genus
is a Pteridosperm[1365] and not a true fern. Some years before the
discovery of Pteridosperms, Grand’Eury[1366] suggested that Lesleya
might be a Gymnosperm; his opinion being based on the woody
nature of the rachis and on the simple venation of Lesleya
simplicinervis.
