Supra-National Judicial Decisions and National Courts

Authors

Hermann Mosler

Abstract

International judicial decisions have been gaining increasing importance, and there is a trend in favor of the application of international law in the national sphere of jurisdiction. Justice Mosler of the International Court of Justice discusses at length the various supra-national courts of universal, regional, and specialized jurisdiction. The Article continues with an analysis of the relationship between national and supra-national courts, forms of supra-national judgments, and the effect of these judgments on the national judiciary of the states party to the action and on non-party states. Finally, the relevance of multilateral treaty systems to the enforcement of international judgments is examined.
