The independence of international judges: between myth and reality

More about the book

The book discusses the role of independent international magistrates, emphasizing their need for autonomy in legal proceedings through guarantees such as appointment methods, tenure security, and institutional independence. It highlights the balance between independence and defined limitations as outlined in international legal frameworks. Drawing inspiration from Judge Mohammed Bedjaoui and Professor Alain Pellet, it argues for the necessity of reviewing the legality of Security Council decisions, which are seen as impediments to equitable international justice.
