New Book: The Engagement of Domestic Courts with International Law: Comparative Perspectives

Published last May of 2024 by Oxford University Press, The Engagement of Domestic Courts with International Law: Comparative Perspectives is a compilation edited by André Nollkaemper, Yuval Shany, Antonios Tzanakopoulos, and Eleni Methymaki.

This book advances and develops a paradigm is one of pragmatic engagement for understanding the role of domestic courts in the international legal order, seeking to replace the older, binary, and doctrinal paradigms of monism and dualism. To bring together the pragmatic approaches of domestic courts, the International Law Association Study Group on Principles on the Engagement of Domestic Courts with International Law engaged in studies with experts from a variety of different jurisdictions. Based on the Study Group’s Final Report, the editors of this book continued to work with experts from different jurisdictions to collect and analyze different pragmatic forms of engagement by domestic courts. This book contains the outcome of this process and reviews the regional and international themes guiding the development of domestic engagement with international law in the modern era.
