  • Public Law Sources and Analogies of International Law
    533 PUBLIC LAW SOURCES AND ANALOGIES OF INTERNATIONAL LAW Eirik Bjorge* Are the "general principles of law recognised by civilized nations" capable of adjusting to the progress and needs of the international community? This article argues that they are, and that international law needs, to a larger degree than what has been the case, to draw on principles of public law. Those principles of public law are not to supplant, but to supplement, those of private law. The article analyses four principles: the principle of legality; the principle requiring positive legal basis for state action; the principle that even the highest emanation of the executive power cannot escape judicial review; and the principle of protection of legitimate expectations. If one takes account of the needs of international law, there is no reason whatever why today we should accede to the orthodoxy that the intention behind the concept of general principles is only to authorise a court to apply the general principles of municipal jurisprudence, in particular of private law, in so far as they are applicable to relations of states – if for no other reason than the fact that international law no longer governs only relations of states. I INTRODUCTION The focus of this article is the extent to which "general principles of law recognised by civilized nations"1 are capable of adjusting to the progress and needs of the international community. The * Professor of Law, University of Bristol. 1 Statute of the International Court of Justice 892 UNTS 119 (26 June 1945), art 38(1)(c).

  • PUT on NOTICE: the ROLE of the DISPUTE REQUIREMENT in ASSESSING JURISDICTION and ADMISSIBILITY BEFORE the INTERNATIONAL COURT Put Notice JULIETTE MCINTYRE*
    PUT ON NOTICE: THE ROLE OF THE DISPUTE REQUIREMENT IN ASSESSING JURISDICTION AND ADMISSIBILITY BEFORE THE INTERNATIONAL COURT Put Notice JULIETTE MCINTYRE* Since the International Court of Justice handed down its 2016 judgments in the Marshall Islands cases, much has been written about the cases and their consequences. This article takes a step back, to view the Court’s most recent treatment of the dispute requirement in the context of the principles developed in the Court’s previous case law. It will be argued that the ‘new’ awareness requirement is potentially no more than a manifestation of the requirement for positive opposition, but that it has been driven by the Court’s conceiving of the dispute requirement as a jurisdictional precondition and serves to impose a de facto pre-action notice requirement on parties seeking access to the Court.

  • 1 Introduction
    Book Reviews 1303 Carlos Jimenez Piernas (ed.) The Legal Practice in International Law and European Community Law – A Spanish Perspective. The Hague: Brill Academic Publishers, 2006. Pp. 690. $189.00. ISBN: 9789004154261. 1 Introduction This article reviews the book edited by Pro- fessor Carlos Jiménez Piernas entitled The Legal Practice in International Law and European Community Law – A Spanish Perspective. As the editor points out in his prologue, this publication is an updated and revised Eng- lish edition of a volume published in 2003 in Spanish.1 The new publication retains the Spanish edition’s general structure of five substantive parts, plus indexes, which deal with legal practice before International Tri- bunals in International Organizations and in the European Union, national legal practice in international law, as well as with some legal tools for international lawyers, in particular to determine evidence of state practice and concerning sources of knowledge of inter- national law on the internet. The title of the book is suggestive and confusing at the same time. It is suggestive in that it apparently deals with a topic which is seldom addressed in the literature on international law, i.e., ‘legal practice’. Indeed, the book covers innovative topics which, in the near future, may become very relevant both for states and international organizations, as well as individuals and pri- vate companies. The confusing aspect of this title is its sub- title, ‘A Spanish Perspective’. This means either that the authors of the contributions are Span- ish, and thus offer their ‘Spanish’ perspective on the topics covered, or that the actual con- tents of the different contributions focus prima- rily on ‘Spanish practice’.
