Tracking the origins and testing the fairness of the instruments of fairness: Amici Curiae in International Litigation
No full textThe widespread possibility to submit amicus curiae briefs in international courts and tribunals is a recent phenomenon. The first purpose of this paper is to verify the alleged Roman origins of amicus curiae, and to trace the emergence of its use in international law. The second and primary purpose of the paper is to assess the fairness of the new procedures, by considering the rules and the case law of several jurisdictions, and evaluating them according to procedural criteria. A set of questions that has been considered deals with the idea of public participation: clarity of the procedures, equality of the treatment of all the interested entities; conditions and reasons for accepting or refusing the proposed amici; emergence in the final decision of the amici submissions, etc. The other set of questions deals with the rights and interests of the parties to the dispute, including the interest in efficient proceedings

The EU, the WTO, and the NAFTA: Towards a Common Law of International Trade
No full textToday’s international relations are dominated by economic and trade issues. The emergence of regional organizations, such as the EU and the North American Free Trade Area, are a reflection of a will to cooperate but also of a will to gain advantage in the global market-place. The WTO has emerged as the equivalent of the United Nations Charter for the world trading system. How do these different regional and international systems operate side by side? What are the legal and political consequences of their coexistence?
