International and Regional Courts

Abstract

This panel delves into the multifaceted role of international and regional courts in shaping the global political landscape as well as the challenges these courts face. From international criminal courts to regional bodies like the European Court of Human Rights, the panel aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors that shape court behaviour. Scholars will analyse the courts' impact on judicial independence at the national level or how regional courts themselves defend against threats to their independence. Further, the panel will explore their ability to prosecute international crimes as well as differences in judicial decision-making processes. By examining specific case studies and broader trends, the panel contributes to ongoing discourses surrounding judicial politics in global and regional governance.
