Viewpoint

The interest of a legal nature is a crucial requirement under Art 62 and the scope of intervention largely depends on the definition of such a requirement. In light of the recent case law of the Court, the author explores the different types of legal interests that could justify permitting a third State to intervene before the ICJ.

International adjudication

Viewpoint

This book makes a significant contribution to understanding the impact of the proliferation of international courts by addressing one important question: namely, whether international courts and tribunals are increasingly adopting common approaches to issues of procedure and remedies. This book’s central argument is that there is an increasing commonality in the practice of international courts to the application of rules concerning these issues, and that this amounts to the emergence of a common law of international adjudication.
