ABSTRACT

In the second half of the 20th century and in the first decades of the 21st century not only further international courts and tribunals resolving traditional interstate disputes have been set up, but new types of international courts as well. The functioning of the new courts contributes to the peaceful settlement of disputes between States, the international protection of human rights, the reinforcement of regional economic cooperation and they also ensure to hold to account perpetrators of the gravest international crimes, in summary, they promote the prevalence of the rule of law in international law.

Keywords: human rights courts | courts of regional economic integration organizations | forum shopping | fragmentation of international law | legal transplantation | spread of compulsory jurisdiction | relations between international courts and national courts
