New book from OUP, edited by Başak Çalı, Gabor Katjar and Marko Milanovic, examines importance of secondary rules in international courts and tribunals.
A new book edited by Başak Çalı, Professor of International Law at the Hertie School, together with Gabor Katjar, Elte Law School, Budapest, and Marko Milanovic, University of Reading, explores how significant secondary rules are in the developing the primary rules of international law. The book, Secondary Rules of Primary Importance in International Law: Attribution, Causality, Evidence and Standards of Review in the Practice of International Courts, was published in late November 2022 by Oxford University Press.
In international law, secondary rules determine whether primary rules of international law are violated. Çalı’s book offers a comprehensive, expert analysis of four types of secondary rules in international law – standards of review, causation, evidentiary rules and attribution – and explores how these operate in international courts or tribunals with regards to human rights, trade, investment and humanitarian law. Different courts covered in the volume range from the International Court of Justice, arbitration tribunals, the European Court of Human Rights, the Court of Justice of the European Union, UN quasi-judicial bodies and the World Trade Organisation dispute settlement mechanism.
With contributions from some of today’s most prominent legal scholars, the book is an important resource for both law students and practitioners in the context of the wide-ranging yet fragmented nature of international courts and tribunals.
