Addendum to the Papers of Hardy Cross Dillard [a], 1940-1982

The addition to the Hardy Cross Dillard Papers (six linear feet in 12 boxes) contains the bulk of the records documenting his nine years on the International Court of Justice. Included are files on the cases brought to the ICJ from 1970 to 1979, as well as extensive records concerning the Beagle Channel Case heard by a Court of Arbitration on which Dillard served from 1971 to 1977. The files for each ICJ case contain memoranda and notes in addition to assorted annotated documents for most of them. Dillard was chairman of the ICJ Rules Revision Committee in the mid-70's, and that work is documented. Finally, there are miscellaneous ICJ documents, general memoranda, and correspondence. The correspondence (20 folders) here, as in the earlier gift, contains letters from personal as well as professional acquaintances; some frequent correspondents included Eduardo Jimenez de Arechaga, Richard Baxter, Gerald Fitzmaurice and Phillip Jessup. Judge Dillard did much of his thinking on paper in memoranda to himself and to his colleagues on the Court. Consequently, there is substantial commentary on arguments of cases, as well as formulation of positions he felt the Court should take. The Beagle Channel Case is the most thoroughly documented, filling almost four boxes.
