- Title
NATIONAL ENCOUNTERS WITH THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE: INTRODUCTION TO THE SPECIAL ISSUE.
- Authors
CHARLESWORTH, HILARY; YOUNG, MARGARET A.
- Abstract
While there is considerable scholarship on the jurisprudence and procedure of the International Court of Justice ('ICJ'), less attention has been given to the experiences of countries with the Court. This introduction identifies the relevance of national encounters with the ICJ to the general literature and explains how the contributions in this Special Issue illuminate the notion of national encounters. The articles here were first presented at a workshop in May 2020. Many articles focus on Australia, but encounters by Iran, Mauritius, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and countries within the Asia Pacific region are also featured. This introduction considers what a focus on national encounters reveals about the ICJ's role amid other courts and processes, the settlement of disputes through the Court's contentious jurisdiction, the significance of the advisory mechanism to countries and the role and participation of other actors, including civil society.
