Giorgetti: The Rules, Practice, and Jurisprudence of International Courts and Tribunals

Chiara Giorgetti (White & Case LLP) has published The Rules, Practice, and Jurisprudence of International Courts and Tribunals (Martinus Nijhoff Publishers 2012). The table of contents is here. Here's the abstract:

International courts and tribunals are key actors in international law, both because of their primary dispute resolution function and for their role in developing international law in a more general sense. Their growing number and complexity makes a detailed study of their practice particularly relevant.

The Rules, Practice, and Jurisprudence of International Courts and Tribunals examines existing international dispute resolution institutions, including those of general jurisdiction (ICJ, PCA), specialised jurisdiction (ITLOS, ICSID, WTO), as well as human rights courts, international criminal courts and tribunals, courts of regional integration agreements, claims commissions and tribunals, and administrative tribunals of international organizations. Uniquely, it assesses both procedural rules and essential case-law, making it relevant for both academics and practitioners in international law.
