Details

This book explores how the Permanent Court of International Justice, the International Court of Justice, the European Court of Human Rights, and investment treaty tribunals have used deference to recognise the decision making authority of States. It analyses the approaches to deference taken by these four international courts and tribunals in 1,714 decisions produced between 1924 and 2019 concerning alleged State interferences with private property. The book identifies a large number of techniques capable of achieving deference to domestic decision-making in international adjudication. It groups these techniques to identify seven distinct 'modes' of deference reflecting differently structured relationships between international adjudicators and domestic decision-makers. These differing approaches to deference are shown to hold systemic significance. They reveal the shifting nature and structure of adjudication under international law and its relationship to domestic decision making authority.

Preface

Introduction: deference and the international adjudication of private property disputes

Part I. Conceptual Framework and Methodological Approach:

1. Defining deference – the connection between deference and authority

2. Deference in context – domestic authority and international private property claims

3. Locating deference – the function of deference in legal adjudication

Part II. Deference in the International Adjudication of Private Property Disputes:

4. Structures of deference in international case law

5. Conclusive decision-making authority: deference as submission or control

6. Suspensive decision-making authority: deference as deferral and abstention

7. Concurrent decision-making authority: deference as restraint, reference, and respect

Part III. The Systemic Role of Deference in International Law:

8. Deference in different times and contexts

9. The systemic implications of deference in international adjudication

10. Bringing principles into practice: grappling with deference in international adjudication

Conclusion: deference as a story of international adjudication
