page no 1073 note 1 There are many ways of analysing the concept of distributive justice and some were discussed in various opinions in the North Sea Continental Shelf cases. I would agree that in the context of that case the use of the concept by the Federal Republic of Germany was questionable.

page no 1074 note 1 The distinction (although not in the form I have put it) is usually attributed to Aristotle who discusses it in connection with "particular" justice in his Politics (III, 9 and V, 1) and his Nicomachean Ethics (V, 3, 1-17). See also Aristotle, Ethics (Everyman edition, 1950), pp. 112 et seq.
