DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Recent years have witnessed a sharp increase in the number of international courts and tribunals (WTO, NAFTA, ITLOS, ICC, etc.) and greater willingness on the part of states and other international actors to subject themselves to the compulsory jurisdiction of international adjudicative mechanisms. However, because of the uncoordinated nature of these developments, overlaps between the jurisdictional ambits of the different judicial bodies might occur, i.e., the same dispute could fall under the jurisdiction of more than one forum. This raises both theoretical and practical issues of coordination between the various jurisdictions. The purpose of this book is to explore the implications of jurisdictional competition and to identify standards that may alleviate problems associated with the phenomenon, which arguably threatens the unity of international law. The first part of the book examines the jurisdictional ambits of the principal international courts and tribunals and delineates areas of overlap between their respective jurisdictions. There follows a discussion of some of the potential systematic and practical problems that arise out of jurisdictional competition (such as forum shopping and multiple proceedings) and a consideration of the expediency of mitigating them. The book concludes by identifying existing rules of international law, which govern inter-jurisdictional competition, and by considering the desirability of introducing additional norms and arrangements.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The book seeks to investigate problems relating to the increased interaction between national and international courts, which have resulted in the litigation of the same legal issues before national and international judicial bodies: What is the proper order of the proceedings? Should national and international proceedings take place concurrently? What effect, if any, should be given to decisions of national court in proceedings before an international court and vice versa? In particular, the book advocates the use of judicial comity as a method for mitigating jurisdictional tensions between national and international courts.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Jurisdictional competition is a relatively new, but increasingly important, phenomenon in European and international law. The ongoing proliferation of various international courts and tribunals results in a multiplication of judgments and arbitral awards, which potentially conflict with each other. Moreover, the ever expanding exclusive jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice into international law issues further exacerbates and complicates the problem by mixing European law principles into international law. The selected cases examined in this book, which cover different areas of international and European law, illustrate the methods applied by various international courts and tribunals to deal with overlapping jurisdictions. Since any formal hierarchy or coordination between the various international courts and tribunals is lacking, it is argued that only soft law methods, such as the application of comity, in particular the Solange-method, appears to be a useful tool to deal with the negative effects associated with jurisdictional competition.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Die Arbeit untersucht die Interaktion zwischen den Streitbeilegungsmechanismen, die im Rahmen des SRÜ und des WTO-Abkommens eingerichtet wurden. Sie erforscht zugleich die Herausforderungen, die Streitigkeiten für internationale Gerichte mit begrenzter Zuständigkeit darstellen. Aus Sicht des WTO-Vertrages und des SRÜ gibt die Arbeit konkrete Antworten auf folgende Fragen: Inwieweit können die genannten Entscheidungsgremien angesichts ihrer begrenzten Zuständigkeit auf andere Regeln des Völkerrechts verweisen? Welche Auswirkungen haben die Äußerungen der Gerichte in Bezug auf den WTO-Vertrag und umgekehrt? Wie sollten Gerichte an Streitigkeiten herangehen, die sowohl WTO-Recht als auch Seerecht betreffen? Wie ist ihr Zusammenspiel geregelt? Die Arbeit bietet Lösungen für vielschichtige Streitigkeiten und trägt damit zur Diskussion über das internationale Verfahrensrecht und das Zusammenspiel von Verträgen und Streitbeilegungsmechanismen bei.
