The Iran-United States Claims Tribunal in Action examines and evaluates the scope of the Tribunal's jurisdiction, its practice and awards in order to discover whether and to what extent it has been successful in settling inter-state, primarily commercial, but also politically charged disputes and whether, as a process, it offers a workable solution for future difficult circumstances of a similar nature. Because of its unique features, such as a private and public law nature, the magnitude of its case-load (ca. 3800 cases) and the diversity of matters brought before it, the Iran-US Claims Tribunal will certainly leave its mark on the international legal community
