Here, as in other instalments, articles which relate to several subject areas are included in the instalment to which they have their closest connection; for example, although "economic coercion" does concern hostile inter-State relations, it is included in inst-alment 8 which deals, inter alia, with international economic relations. Relevant decisions of international courts and arbitral tribunals are contained in the second instalment. Articles considered to have a primarily historical significance and which deal with wars and peace treaties prior to 1900 will be contained in the seventh instalment, whose subject-matter will include, inter alia, the history of the law of nations. The fourth instalment includes 105 articles bearing titles beginning with the letters N-Z; those with initial letters A-M appeared in the third instalment. In order to enable the reader to use the Encyclopedia to the fullest extent, two types of cross-references are used. Arrow-marked cross-references in the texts of articles refer to other entries (e.g. The case was submitted to the -. International Court of Justice) and are generally inserted at the first relevant point in an article. When a specific topic might be expected to be dealt with under a certain title but is discussed either under a different head
