The potential and limits of international adjudication

该项目旨在利用澳大利亚与国际法院广泛接触的案例研究，分析裁决在国际事务中的地位。该项目将详细说明澳大利亚参与国际法院审理的案件的背景和影响，并将评估裁决和咨询意见在更广泛地解决国际争端方面可以发挥的复杂作用。该项目将记录一系列跨越70年的历史性活动，并就国际裁决何时可能对澳大利亚、亚太地区和国际法律秩序产生成效提供指导。这将使人们更深入地了解国际司法机构解决有关经济、卫生、社会、文化和环境问题的争端的能力。

This project aims to analyse the place of adjudication in international affairs, using a case study of Australia’s extensive engagement with the International Court of Justice. The project will provide a detailed account of the context and impact of the cases in which Australia has been involved before the Court, and will assess the complex roles that adjudication and advisory opinions can play in the resolution of international disputes more generally. This project will document an historic set of engagements spanning 70 years and provide guidance on when international adjudication may be productive for Australia, the Asia-Pacific region and the international legal order. This will provide deeper knowledge of the capacities of international judicial institutions to resolve disputes relating to economic, health, social, cultural and environmental issues.
