Call for abstracts: PluriCourts Research Conference on Compliance Mechanisms
PluriCourts issues this call for abstracts on the topic of “International Courts versus Compliance Mechanisms: Comparative advantages of non-compliance mechanisms and complaint procedures.”
In this project, we asks:
- Whether and why in some circumstances the use of more informal NCMs might be more effective to bring states into compliance with their treaty obligations or address situations of non-compliance than the recourse to ICTs for breach of a treaty;
- How NCMs and other means of dispute resolution, such as international courts, relate to each other; and
- What their comparative advantages and disadvantages are.
Contributions will be published in an edited volume by Cambridge University Press (tbc) or a special edition of a legal journal (tbc). This project is administered by Prof. Dr. Christina Voigt.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is June 30, 2021.
