The author examines the conflict between the states, international law and aspirations for justice by analyzing cases of judicial intervention including: Pinochet and the House of Lords, the Congo vs Belgium, the Former Yugoslavian war crimes tribunal and the ICC.

This volume considers the most recent demands for justice within the international system, examining how such aspirations often conflict with norms of state sovereignty and non-intervention.

From an interdisciplinary approach that combines issues of International Relations with International Law, this book addresses issues neglected in both disciplines concerning the establishment a more just international order and its political implications. Through detailed examples drawn from key developments in international law, the author explores how new norms develop within international society, and how these norms generate both resistance and compliance from state actors. Case studies include:

Pinochet and the House of Lords

The Congo versus Belgium at the International Court of Justice

The establishment of the ad hoc war crimes tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia

The creation of the International Criminal Court and US opposition.

The International Politics of Judicial Intervention will be of interest to students and scholars of International Relations, Human Rights and International Law.

Andrea Birdsall is a Lecturer in International Relations at the University of Strathclyde.
