Hardy Cross Dillard papers

41 Cubic Feet 99 archival boxes, plus some oversize folders

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.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
