The course explores the variety of international courts and tribunals functioning at the inter-state or supra-national level, and addresses a range of theoretical and practical issues relating to their operation. It concentrates in particular on systematic concerns common to all existing tribunals and on doctrinal issues related to the work of specific tribunals. The underlying hypothesis of the course is that a loosely organized "system" of international courts and tribunals has emerged in recent years and that international adjudication plays a role of growing importance in the settlement of international disputes. The uncoordinated and partial nature of this development raises many challenges and problems that invite further study and analysis.
