ABSTRACT
The introductory part starts by presenting the main developments on the international plane and their impact on international dispute resolution. It explains that international tribunals and municipal courts no longer operate in isolation, but are brought closer together by those changes while exercising their judicial functions. In some instances they even tend to become partners in the “common judicial enterprise”, which is particularly visible in the realm of human rights in certain regions of the world. Notwithstanding, a doctrinal lacuna exists on the inter-judicial dialogue and interactions between domestic courts and the International Court of Justice – the first and longest operating international tribunal. This monograph aims to fill this gap.
