ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses effective domestic adjudication, distinguishes between international and supranational adjudication, and describes effective supranational adjudication. It explores the checklist, dividing factors into those within the control of states responsible for establishing a supranational tribunal, those within the control of the tribunal itself, and those that are arguably beyond the control of either. The chapter presents the checklist to the practice and procedure of the United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC). It examines the principal elements of a community of law as it has evolved in Europe. The chapter explains the increase in communication and interaction among national and supranational courts and tribunals that could mark the beginnings of a global community of law. It outlines proposal for structured interaction between the UNHRC and its European counterparts. Vigorous and sustained dialogue between the UNHRC and the European Court of Human Rights will add a supranational dimension to increasing transnational dialogue among judges.
