The post-Cold War proliferation of international adjudicatory
bodies and increase in litigation has greatly affected
international law and politics. A growing number of international
courts and tribunals, exercising jurisdiction over international
crimes and sundry international disputes, have become, in some
respects, the lynchpin of the international legal system. The
Oxford Handbook of International Adjudication charts the
transformations in international adjudication that took place
astride the twentieth and twenty-first century, bringing together
the insight of 47 prominent legal, philosophical, ethical,
political, and social science scholars. Overall, the 40
contributions in this Handbook provide an original and
comprehensive understanding of the various contemporary forms of
international adjudication. The Handbook is divided into six parts.
Part I provides an overview of the origins and evolution of
international adjudicatory bodies, from the nineteenth century to
the present, highlighting the dynamics driving the multiplication
of international adjudicative bodies and their uneven expansion.
Part II analyses the main families of international adjudicative
bodies, providing a detailed study of state-to-state, criminal,
human rights, regional economic, and administrative courts and
tribunals, as well as arbitral tribunals and international
compensation bodies. Part III lays out the theoretical approaches
to international adjudication, including those of law, political
science, sociology, and philosophy. Part IV examines some
contemporary issues in international adjudication, including the
behavior, role, and effectiveness of international judges and the
political constraints that restrict their function, as well as the
making of international law by international courts and tribunals,
the relationship between international and domestic adjudicators,
the election and selection of judges, the development of judicial
ethical standards, and the financing of international courts. Part
V examines key actors in international adjudication, including
international judges, legal counsel, international prosecutors, and
registrars. Finally, Part VI overviews select legal and procedural
issues facing international adjudication, such as evidence,
fact-finding and experts, jurisdiction and admissibility, the role
of third parties, inherent powers, and remedies. The Handbook is an
invaluable and thought-provoking resource for scholars and students
of international law and political science, as well as for legal
practitioners at international courts and tribunals.
