Modernism refers to an artistic style where the artist portrays the world through their own subjective perspective rather than aiming for realism. It began in the late 19th century but became prominent after World War I. Modernist writers often used stream-of-consciousness style, getting inside a character's mind, and experimented with narrative forms to change how stories are told. Some major works of Modernist fiction include The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, and As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner.

The document discusses the sources of international law that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) applies in deciding disputes. There are five main sources according to Article 38(1) of the ICJ Statute: 1) international conventions and treaties, 2) international customs, 3) general principles of law, 4) judicial decisions and writings of publicists, and 5) reason and equity. Treaties can be either law-making or contractual. Customary international law requires consistent state practice and opinio juris. General principles fill gaps where no treaty or custom applies. Judicial decisions and writings are subsidiary sources. The ICJ can decide cases ex aequo et bono if parties agree.Modernist period in english
