Domestic lawyers are, above all, officers of the court. By
contrast, the public international lawyer representing states
before international tribunals is torn between loyalties to the
state and loyalties to international law. As the stakes increase
for the state concerned, the tension between these loyalties can
become acute and lead to practices that would be condemned in
developed national legal systems but have hitherto been ignored by
international tribunals in international legal scholarship. They
are the 'dirty stories' of international law. This detailed and
contextually sensitive presentation of eight important cases before
a variety of public international tribunals dissects some of the
reasons for the resort to fraudulent evidence in international
litigation and the profession's baffling reaction. Fraudulent
evidence is resorted to out of greed, moral mediocrity or inherent
dishonesty. In public international litigation, by contrast, the
reasons are often more complex, with roots in the dynamics of
international politics.
