Abstract

I am most grateful to Dean Macgill and Professor Joel Paul for providing me with an opportunity to present this address on recent developments in the relationship between the United States of America and various international courts and tribunals. I will raise a number of points, and hope they will be taken in the spirit of constructive criticism with which they are intended. The context is the less than comprehensive commitment to the international judiciary which has recently been shown by the United States, particularly in relation to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the newly adopted Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). This ambivalence raises serious questions for the future of the international rule of law, particularly as reflected in the international adjudicative process.
