Multiplicity of International Courts and Tribunals

This work comprehensively explores the implications §of multiplicty of international judicial bodies on §the coherent application of public international §law. It carried out an in-depth §analysis of the underlying reasons for the §multiplicity, a thorough discussion of §the benefits and the challenges presented by this §development, its theoretical dimensions and §solutions suggested to mitigate the challenges. §The work locates the root causes of these challenges §in the normative and institutional expansions of §international law without a corresponding §coordination of the activities of §the proliferating judicial bodies. The challanges §are systemic in nature. Clearly, because of their §systemic nature, the impacts of these challenges are §not limited to the specific courts, cases and §parties implicated, but have a ripple effect that §reverberates throughout the system. Therefore, the §mitigation of the impacts of these challenges is of §a paramount importance for the credibility, §predictability, legitimacy and overall integrity of §the international legal system and the eventual §augmentation of the compliance pull garnered as a §result.
