Domestic politics and international law

Abstract

International law has become a vital part of the global landscape. Nonetheless, recently, more and more states have been contesting and challenging international order. Thus, it is crucial to examine both the functioning of international courts and how domestic courts approach international law. This panel explores the tactics international courts can use to protect their independence and encourage state compliance. Additionally, it examines how domestic judges balance between national and international law, including the politics of citations to international precedents.
