The Competing Jurisdictions of International Courts and Tribunals (Law) [Hardcover]

Yuval Shany (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0199258570 | ISBN-13: 978-0199258574 | Publication Date: May 29, 2003 | Edition: 3

The proliferation of new international courts and tribunals in recent years has given rise to concerns of jurisdictional overlaps between the new and existing judicial bodies. The book examines what would happen when the same dispute falls under the jurisdiction of more than one forum. This raises both theoretical and practical issues of coordinating between the various jurisdictions and identifies rules of law which ought to apply in such circumstances.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"An important new study on the proliferation of dispute settlement mechanisms and on its legal and policy implications for the international legal order.... One of the book's most significant legal contributions is that it is the first major work to consider the application in public international law of doctrines developed and applied traditionally as part of domestic law and private international law."--American Journal of International Law
