The procedural law of international judicial institutions is largely a product of their own making. International tribunals are endowed with an inherent competence not only with regard to their own jurisdiction (compétence de la competénce), but also with regard to the interpretation of the provisions of their respective jurisdictional instruments....
There is no express provision for amicus curiae participation in ICJ advisory proceedings. However, Article 66 ICJ Statute provides avenue for the participation of State and NSAs to submit information to the Court. This research applies empirical research methodology (Sect. 4.1) for mapping the ICJ practice concerning formal avenues of participatio...
The ICJ Statute and Rules of Court contain no provision for allowing non-party participation (except for State intervention) in contentious cases. The lack of an express mention to amicus curiae briefs does not indicate, however, that the Court would proscribe the referred practice, notably in contentious proceedings (Sect. 2.1). A similar situatio...
International Courts and Tribunals play a pivotal role in the global governance architecture. ICTs, and the ICJ in particular, are not only fora for resolving inter-State bilateral issues but multifunctional actors tasked with protecting and promoting the interests of the international community by developing international law. ICTs are also increa...
The rigid legal framework of the ICJ’s Statute and Rules provided for limited avenues for participation. The opportunities were mainly open to traditional subjects of International Law, namely States and international organizations. Nevertheless, NGOs, individuals and other NSAs, such as civil society organizations have also found their way to the...

A Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), criada em 1948, tem a atribuição de zelar pelo bem-estar humano em geral, bem como exercer o papel de principal liderança internacional em matéria de saúde. Como é exercido esse papel de liderança? De que forma e até que ponto a OMS influencia e produz impacto nas ordens jurídicas nacionais?

It intends to identify whether, for what purpose, and to what extent the IACtHR takes into account the jurisprudence of the ICJ. This article is divided into two parts and...
Existem limites à atuação estatal, mesmo quando amparada em situações de emergência de saúde pública global, como a pandemia COVID-19. O Direito Internacional, em particular as normas da OMS, estabelecem obrigações que devem ser seguidas pelos Estados afetados pela pandemia. Paralelamente, normas de proteção de direitos humanos, que são igualmente...
By developing international law, international courts – ‘intermediate Global Public Goods (GPG)’ – can also contribute to the protection and promotion of final GPG. The International Court of Justice (ICJ), in particular, is capable of promoting GPG by adjudicating inter-state claims. However, one of the main obstacles faced by the World Court rela...

It aims to discuss, on the one hand, the use of the ICJ jurisprudence in the case law of the Inter-American Court and the use of the IACtHR jurisprudence in the case law of the ICJ, on the other hand....
By adjudicating inter-State claims, international courts can also contribute to the protection and promotion of community interests. However, the main obstacle faced by the International Court of Justice ( ICJ ) relates to the existing tension between the bilateral nature of its own proceedings and the multilateral nature of the conflicting substan...
