T.M.C. Asser Instituut: Lecture on Seeking change through international courts: Rethinking what judicial decisions do in international law
19 September, 2024 @ 16:00 - 17:30
Judicial decisions are key components of legal argumentation. Courts, counsels, and academics routinely refer to them when constructing their claims. Across the international legal discipline, they are invoked as evidence of how like cases have been decided, or to signal how a specific rule or principle has been authoritatively interpreted by previous courts and tribunals. However, Dr Lo Giacco invites us to take a closer look at what judicial decisions do in (and to) the practice of international law, revealing a far more intricate story.
By exploring what is entrenched in the iterative use of judicial decisions, Dr Lo Giacco highlights how judicial decisions can act as vehicles, reproducing world views and reasons for action, as well as reverberating language and concepts no longer in tune with today’s international law.
