New Book: "The Standard of Review before the International Court of Justice - Between Principle and Pragmatism" by Felix Fouchard
The Standard of Review before the International Court of Justice
Between Principle and Pragmatism
Felix Fouchard
This book examines how the
International Court of Justice (ICJ) reviews State behaviour through the prism
of the standard of review. It develops a rationale to support the ICJ’s
application of deferential standards of review as a judicial avoidance technique,
based on strategic considerations. It then empirically assesses all 31
decisions of the Court in which the standard of review was at issue, showing
how the Court determines that standard, and answering the question of whether
it varies its review intensity strategically. The book will be beneficial to
all scholars of the Court and those interested in judicial strategy.
Felix Fouchard is Research Associate at the Chair for Public Law,
International Law and European Union Law at the University of Münster, Germany.
