Basic Rules of Dispute Settlement in Traditional Public International Law
Traditional international public law has several basic rules for settling disputes. First, states must use international law and principles, such as the right to territorial integrity or self-determination, to resolve disputes. Secondly, they must strive for peaceful dispute resolution through diplomatic negotiations, mediation, or arbitration before taking more drastic measures.
The answer to whether a state is obliged to appear before a national Court will depend on the type of court the state is to present. If it is a national court, the form must be prepared to appear and present its case. However, in the case of an international court, a different approach may be required: states must consider international rules and principles that should guide their presentation.
Dispute Settlement in International Courts
Studying the GATT of 1947 for settling disputes may be helpful in international law. This significant global rule is among the most influential and essential instruments for resolving international disputes. It considers various dispute resolution methods, including mediation, arbitration, and conciliation.
It is also necessary to remember the Uruguay Declaration of 1986, which examines the rights and possibilities of states in attempting to resolve disputes through diplomatic negotiations. The Uruguay Declaration of 1986 provides additional rules which should be applied when settling disputes. In particular, the Declaration offers legal mechanisms for resolving conflicts between states, such as international justice, diplomatic representation, and negotiations.
Comparing Traditional and International Dispute Settlement Systems
Thus, the rules for settling disputes in traditional international public law depend on the court to which the complaint has been filed. In the case of a national court, the state must adhere to accepted international legal norms, including recognizing the right of the federal court to settle disputes. In the case of an international court, the state must adhere to the rules accepted in International public law, such as the Financial Convention on the Rules for the Consideration and Enforcement of International Arbitral Awards.
