浅析国际法院的诉讼管辖权作者:李淑梅来源:《青年与社会》2013年第10期【摘要】诉讼管辖权是国际法院的两大管辖权之一,通过根据《国际法院规约》的规定探究国际法院的诉讼管辖权的权限、发现国际法院诉讼管辖权存在的不足,并结合以上不足和针对国际法院的诉讼管辖权困境给出笔者加强国际法院诉讼管辖权的建议。
【关键词】国际法院;诉讼;管辖权海牙国际法庭,其正式名称为国际法院。
国际法院是唯一具有一般管辖权的普遍性国际法院,也是当今最重要的国际争端解决机构。
国际法院作为联合国的主要司法机关,取得了显著的成就,但是它所受理的案件数量有限,国家政府对国际法院利用不充分,其作用没有能得到充分的发挥。
一、国际法院诉讼管辖权联合国国际法院是根据《国际法院规约》(规约是《联合国宪章》的一部分)成立的,诉讼管辖权是国际法院的两大管辖权之一。
国际法院在行使诉讼管辖权时,涉及到“对人管辖”和“对事管辖”两个方面:第一,对人管辖。
根据法院规约,有三类国家可以作为国际法院的诉讼当事国:(一)联合国的会员国;(二)非联合国的会员国但为《国际法院规约》的当事国;(三)既非联合国的会员国也非《国际法院规约》的当事国。
作为诉讼当事国,这三类国家的地位是相同的。
国际组织、法人或个人都不能成为国际法院的诉讼当事国。
第二,对事管辖。
国际法院的对事管辖权可由以下方式建立:第一种是自愿管辖。
对于任何争端,当事国都可以在争端发生后,达成协议,将争端提交国际法院。
法院根据当事国各方的同意进行管辖。
第二种是协定管辖。
在现行条约或协定中,规定各方同意将有关的争端提交国际法院解决。
第三种是任择强制管辖。
二、国际法院诉讼管辖权存在不足(一)诉讼主体过于狭窄政府间组织和非政府组织还有个人均被排除在诉讼程序之外,不能成为诉讼案件的当事方,这限制了诉讼主体的范围。
也就是说,国际法院只能解决国家之间的争端,另外一些国际法主体之间的争端则不能通过国际法院加以解决。
因此,一些发生在非国家主体之间争端只能通过其他途径加以解决,在一定程度上限制了国际法院主体,限制了国际法院的案源,在一定程度抑制了国际法院作用的发挥。
论国际法院对和平解决国际争端的作用摘要:国际争端是国际社会存在的一种客观现象,它随着国家的产生、国家之间交往的开始和发展而出现。
而中华人民共和国自成立以来,一贯奉行独立自主的和平外交政策,主张以和平方法解决国际争端,并在与其他国家的关系中,始终主张和坚持以和平方法处理一切历史遗留问题和现实问题,为这些问题或争端的最终解决做出了自己的不懈努力和贡献。
本文通过对国际法院发展的介绍对其在和平解决国际争端所发挥的作用进行了论述。
关键词:国际争端和平解决国际法院联合国宪章所谓国际争端,是指国际法主体之间,主要是国家之间,关于法律上或事实上的主张不一致,或者是政治利益和特定权利上的矛盾对立。
国际争端的主体主要是国家,彼此地位平等;国际争端产生的原因错综复杂,国际争端的解决也受到国际关系力量对比的制约,解决不好就会导致严重的后果,甚至发生战争。
近年来,和平解决国际争端的问题越来越受到国际社会的重视。
而作为联合国主要司法机关的国际法院,也进入了一个历史上相对活跃的时期。
国际法院是根据《联合国宪章》的规定而设立的联合国主要司法机关。
《国际法院规约》是《联合国宪章》不可分割的一部分,联合国会员国是《国际法院规约》的当然当事国。
根据《联合国宪章》和《国际法院规约》的有关规定,联合国大会和安全理事会于1946年分别选举了法院的15名法官。
同年4月3日,国际法院在荷兰海牙召开第一次会议,宣布国际法院正式成立。
从那时起至1999年7月1日,国际法院共收案110件,其中诉讼案件88件,已作出判决的68件。
咨询案件22件。
而就在近期,国际法院就阿根廷诉乌拉圭污染两国界河案作出终审判决,驳回了阿方要求乌方拆除污染河水的造纸厂并赔偿损失的请求,同时指出两国有义务就界河的环境监测进行合作。
至此,两国间长达四年的国际官司画上句号。
阿、乌两国总统均表示尊重法院的判决,并将尽快协商落实判决。
可见,虽然设于荷兰海牙的国际法院不为公众熟知,但在和平解决国际争端方面的作用却不可小觑。
国际法院规约发布日期:1945-6-26执行日期:1945-6-26第一条联合国宪章所设之国际法院为联合国主要司法机关,其组织及职务之行使应依本规约之下列规定。
第一章法院之组织第二条法院以独立法官若干人组织之。
此项法官应不论国籍,就品格高尚并在各本国具有最高司法职位之任命资格或公认为国际法之法学家中选举之。
第三条一、法院以法官15人组织之,其中不得有二人为同一国家之国民。
二、就充任法院法官而言,一人而可视为一个国家以上之国民者,应认为属于其通常行使公民及政治权利之国家或会员国之国民。
第四条一、法院法官应由大会及安全理事会依下列规定就常设公断法院各国团体所提出之名单内选举之。
二、在常设公断法院并无代表之联合国会员国,其候选人名单应由各该国政府专为此事而委派之团体提出;此项各国团体之委派,准用1907年海牙和平解决国际纷争条约第四十四条规定委派常设公断法院公断员之条件。
三、凡非联合国会员国而已接受法院规约之国家,其参加选举法院法官时,参加条件,如无特别协定,应由大会经安全理事会之提议规定之。
第五条一、联合国秘书长至迟应于选举日期三个月前,用书面邀请属于本规约当事国之常设公断法院公断员,及依第四条第二项所委派之各国团体,于一定期间内分别由各国团体提出能接受法官职务之人员。
二、每一团体所提人数不得超过四人,其中属其本国国籍者不得超过二人。
在任何情形下,每一团体所提候选人之人数不得超过应占席数之一倍。
第六条各国团体在提出上项人员以前,宜咨询本国最高法院、大学法学院、法律学校、专研法律之国家研究院、及国际研究院在各国所设之各分院。
第七条一、秘书长应依字母次序,编就上项所提人员之名单。
除第十二条第二项规定外,仅此项人员有被选权。
二、秘书长应将前项名单提交大会及安全理事会。
第八条大会及安全理事会各应独立举行法院法官之选举。
第九条每次选举时,选举人不独应注意被选人必须各具必要资格,并应注意务使法官全体确能代表世界各大文化及各主要法系。
国际法院的诉讼管辖权浅析【摘要】国际法院是联合国的主要司法机关,但尚未发挥其应有的作用。
本文在《国际法院规约》的范田内,从国际法院管辖权的角度,探讨了加强国际法院作用的现实途径:有所侧重地利用其诉讼管辖;充分利用具有多种优势的特别分庭;而咨询管辖则为国际组织提供了预防与解决争端的新途径。
【关键词】国际法院;诉讼管辖权;作用中图分类号:D99 文献标识码A:文章编号:1006-0278(2014)04-131-01一、国际法院的成立与发展第一次世界大战后,国际联盟创立了“常设国际法院”,此后在1922年至1940年,该法院就国家间的29个案件作出了判决,并发表了27项咨询意见,几乎都得到了执行。
常设国际法院的司法权威得到了普遍认可,但该法院的活动又因第二次世界大战而被迫中止。
二战后的1945年联合国成立,国际法院随之诞生,作为联合国的主要司法机关,国际法院的只能有两项:一是解决国际争端:即通过行使诉讼管辖权,处理关于国家之间争端的案件。
因此,国际法院不能受理一个国家与一个国际组织间或两个国际组织间的争端,也不能处理书记官出收到的私营实体或个人提出的书面或口头请示书。
二是发表咨询意见,即通过行使咨询管辖权为联合国大会和安理会等国际机构提供法律咨询意见。
从国际法院的管辖权范围来看,它是具有明确权限的民事法院,没有刑事管辖权,无法审判个人刑事犯罪。
国际法院不是国家司法机构可以上诉的最高法院,不是个人提出最终申诉的法院,也不是任何国际法庭的上诉法院,但在其具有管辖权的案件中,国际法院具有最终仲裁裁决的权力。
另一方面,国际法也进入了蓬勃发展的新时期。
在这一时期,国际法的基本框架已经建立。
在立法形式上,条约已经成为主要形式。
国际法的普及推广,也使国际法院的地位得以进一步提升。
二、国际法院的诉讼管辖权国际法院的管辖权包括:各方当事国提交的一切案件及《联合国宪章》或现行条约及协约中所特定的一切案件;法院对于任何法律问题如经任何团体由《联合国宪章》授权而请求或依照《联合国宪章》而请求时,得发表咨询意见。
国际法院关于《防止及惩治种族灭绝罪公约》保留问题的咨询意见(1951/5/28)国际法院基于联合国安理会的请求,对于《防止及惩治种族灭绝罪公约》的保留中涉及的以下问题提出咨询意见:意见涉及的范围包括一国在签署或者加入的同时,对于《防止及惩治种族灭绝罪公约》给予保留时产生的以下问题:问题一:保留国在其保留的内容被其他一个或者多个缔约国反对时,是否还能被视为条约的成员国?问题二:如果第一个问题的答案是肯定的。
那么保留国与下列国家关于保留的效力问题应当怎样处理?a反对此保留的国家。
b接受此保留的国家。
问题三:在下列情况中,保留国的保留会产生怎样的法律效果?a一个尚已签署但尚未批准该条约的国家提出了对保留国保留的反对。
b一个有权签署或加入,但尚未签署或者加入的国家对保留国保留的反对。
以下国家或国际组织向国际法院提交了相关书面陈述:美洲国家组织、苏维埃社会主义共和国联盟、约旦王国、美利坚合众国、大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国……同时,国际法院还听取了联合国秘书长代表、以色列政府代表、联合王国政府代表、法国政府代表关于此问题的口头陈述。
国际法院终于以7比5的投票结果给出了以下意见:问题一:如果一国关于条约的保留不违反条约的基本宗旨、目的或原则,并且不被全部成员国反对,那么即使其保留招到一些国家的反对,也不妨碍保留国成为条约的成员国。
否则,保留国不被认为是缔约国。
问题二:如果某缔约国认为保留国的保留违反了条约的基本宗旨、目的或原则,那么该缔约国可以事实上认为保留国不是条约的成员国。
如果某缔约国认为保留国的保留不违反条约的基本宗旨、目的或原则,那么该缔约国可以事实上认为保留国是条约的成员国。
问题三:一个尚已签署但尚未批准该条约的国家提出的对保留国保留的反对只在其批准之后才产生效力。
一个有权签署或加入,但尚未签署或者加入的国家对保留国保留的反对不产生法律效力。
本咨询意见同时附有其他五位法官的两种反对意见。
在本意见中,国际法院首先反驳了一些国家提出的关于国际法院无权受理此案的观点。

The Court shall be open to the states parties to the present Statute.2. The conditions under which the Court shall be open to other states shall, subject to the special provisions contained in treaties in force, be laid down by the Security Council, but in no case shall such conditions place the parties in a position of inequality before the Court.3.

The declarations referred to above may be made unconditionally or on condition of reciprocity on the part of several or certain states, or for a certain time.4. Such declarations shall be deposited with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, who shall transmit copies thereof to the parties to the Statute and to the Registrar of the Court.5. Declarations made under Article 36 of the Statute of the Permanent Court of International Justice and which are still in force shall be deemed, as between the partiesto the present Statute, to be acceptances of the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice for the period which they still have to run and in accordance with their terms.6. In the event of a dispute as to whether the Court has jurisdiction, the matter shall be settled by the decision of the Court.Article 37Whenever a treaty or convention in force provides for reference of a matter to a tribunal to have been instituted by the League of Nations, or to the Permanent Court of International Justice, the matter shall, as between the parties to the present Statute, be referred to the International Court of Justice.Article 381. The Court, whose function is to decide in accordance with international law such disputes as are submitted to it, shall apply:a. international conventions, whether general or particular, establishing rules expressly recognized by the contesting states;b. international custom, as evidence of a general practice accepted as law;c. the general principles of law recognized by civilized nations;d. subject to the provisions of Article 59, judicial decisions and the teachings of the most highly qualified publicists of the various nations, as subsidiary means for the determination of rules of law.2. This provision shall not prejudice the power of the Court to decide a case ex aequo et bono, if the parties agree thereto.CHAPTER III - PROCEDUREArticle 391. The official languages of the Court shall be French and English. If the parties agree that the case shall be conducted in French, the judgment shall be delivered in French. If the parties agree that the case shall be conducted in English, the judgment shall be delivered in English.2. In the absence of an agreement as to which language shall be employed, each party may, in the pleadings, use the language which it prefers; the decision of the Court shall be given in French and English. In this case the Court shall at the same time determine which of the two texts shall be considered as authoritative.3. The Court shall, at the request of any party, authorize a language other than French or English to be used by that party.Article 401. Cases are brought before the Court, as the case may be, either by the notification of the special agreement or by a written application addressed to the Registrar. In either case the subject of the dispute and the parties shall be indicated.2. The Registrar shall forthwith communicate the application to all concerned.3. He shall also notify the Members of the United Nations through the Secretary-General, and also any other states entitled to appear before the Court.Article 411. The Court shall have the power to indicate, if it considers that circumstances so require, any provisional measures which ought to be taken to preserve the respective rights of either party.2.

浅议国际法院和前南斯拉夫国际刑事法庭的司法审查权亓璇睿蔡浩哲满欣然任泽亮曲耀先李安琪蓝清蔚深圳中学高三(20)班摘要:本文从国际公法和宪法学的视角分析了《国际法院规约》、《前南斯拉夫国际刑事法庭规约》和《联合国宪章》中,国际法院和前南刑庭之司法审查权的法律基础,评析了这两个法院在司法过程中对安理会决议等联合国机构决定对合《联合国宪章》性审查的应用,并讨论了国际法院司法审查权未来的可能性。
关键词:联合国宪章、国际法院、前南斯拉夫国际刑事法庭、司法审查、关于洛克比空难事件引起的1971年《蒙特利尔公约》的解释和适用问题案、塔迪奇案一、何谓“司法审查”?司法审查(judicial review),通常是各国法律赋予一些国家机构的审议立法机关制定的法律以及行政机关的行政措施是否符合宪法的权力。
在许多英联邦国家的语境下,前项权力通常称为“违宪审查”(英文字汇相同)。
并且,因为英格兰并无制定的成文宪法,根据宪法惯例(constitutionalconventions),议会主权几乎不受限制,因此“违宪审查”并不存在;因此,在英格兰和英联邦的司法语境下,“司法审查”指的是法院审查行政措施是否符合制定法律的权力。
在本文中,我们把两种情形统一称为“司法审查”,但在绝大多数情况下均指前一种情形(即“违宪审查”)。
为了维持政府三权之间的制约和分立,这项权力是必须的。
因此,绝大多数国家均将司法审查权赋予司法机关。
大部分大陆法系国家和地区,如德国、西班牙、台湾地区等均将司法审查权专门赋予特设的宪法法院。
英美法系国家和小部分大陆法系国家(特别是北欧国家),如挪威、美国,以及受美国司法体制影响较大的日本,均不设宪法法院,而将司法审查权完全赋予一般法院。
而另一些国家,如拉美国家和南非,在把司法审查权赋予宪法法院的同时,也将部分司法审查权赋予一般法院。
法国和沿用法国司法体制的意大利,则将司法审查权赋予特设的、具有准司法性质的宪法委员会。

However, there has hitherto been no amendment of the Statute of the Court.STATUTE OF THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE TABLE OF CONTENTS:Chapter I: Organization of the Court (Articles 2 - 33)Chapter II: Competence of the Court (Articles 34 - 38)Chapter III: Procedure (Articles 39 - 64)Chapter IV: Advisory Opinions (Articles 65 - 68)Chapter V: Amendment (Articles 69 & 70)Article 1The International Court of Justice established by the Charter of the United Nations as the principal judicial organ of the United Nations shall be constituted and shall function in accordance with the provisions of the present Statute.CHAPTER I - ORGANIZATION OF THE COURTArticle 2The Court shall be composed of a body of independent judges, elected regardless of their nationality from among persons of high moral character, who possess the qualifications required in theirrespective countries for appointment to the highest judicial offices, or are jurisconsults of recognized competence in international law.

In the case of Members of the United Nations not represented in the Permanent Court of Arbitration, candidates shall be nominated by national groups appointed for this purpose by their governments under the same conditions as those prescribed for members of the Permanent Court of Arbitration by Article 44 of the Convention of The Hague of 1907 for the pacific settlement of international disputes.3.

If the joint conference is unanimously agreed upon any person who fulfills the required conditions, he may be included in its list, even though he was not included in the list of nominations referred to in Article 7.3. If the joint conference is satisfied that it will not be successful in procuring an election, those members of the Court who have already been elected shall, within a period to be fixed by the Security Council, proceed to fill the vacant seats by selection from among those candidates who have obtained votes either in the General Assembly or in the Security Council.4.

If the Court includes upon the Bench no judge of the nationality of the parties, each of these parties may proceed to choose a judge as provided in paragraph 2 of this Article.4. The provisions of this Article shall apply to the case of Articles 26 and 29. In such cases, the President shall request one or, if necessary, two of the members of the Court forming the chamber to give place to the members of the Court of the nationality of the parties concerned, and, failing such, or if they are unable to be present, to the judges specially chosen by the parties.5. Should there be several parties in the same interest, they shall, for the purpose of the preceding provisions, be reckoned as one party only. Any doubt upon this point shall be settled by the decision of the Court.6.

《国际法院规约》第条《国际规约》第条_制度与法律渊源法律学者对渊源的研究始于——事实上也应始于——《》第38条,规定如下:一、法院对于陈诉各项争端,应依国际法裁判之,裁判时应适用:1.不论一般或特殊国际协约,确立诉讼当事国明了承认之规条者;2.国际习惯,作为通例之证实而经接受为法律者;3.普通法律原则为文明各国所承认者;4.在第59条规定之下,司法判例及各国最高之公法学家学说,作为确定法律原则之补助资料者。
二、前项规定不阻碍法院经当事国同意本公允及和善原则裁判案件之权。
第59条规定:法院之裁判除及于当事国及本案外,无自在力。
()对国际法渊源的分析终于就是对第38条含义和意思的分析,本章的下面三节在满足接下来两段所述的限定条件上构成了这种分析。
我不预备对第38条第1款第4项作进一步研究。
上,法律学者如Grotius及Suárez的法学著作在国际法的最初进展中起到了重要作用[15]。
但当前的专题讨论不是历史的,而是分析实证的,随着制度性资料的增多——条约、国际公约、国际法院的裁决、国际习惯法承认的规章等——辅助渊源如“公法学家”著作的意义逐渐失去。
尽管许多学者仍声称,公法学家著作的重要性不应被低估(这是一种不彻低客观的评论,由于这些人是因其自身而成为“公法学家”的),但普遍承认这些著作在作为渊源形式时起着很小的作用。
对此进一步分析,就法学家观点作为一种形式的程度而言,这是因为他们的思想在国际规矩范形成的普通习惯过程中被采用,这些著作不是作为一种挺直的渊源形式发挥作用的。
就司法判决而言,第59条宣称国际法院不存在先例原则。
国际法院对作为一种价值的全都性赋予了某些考虑,但在正式司法中,该院遵循的是法系而不是法系对先例的处理方式[16]。
不过第38条第1款第4项不仅仅包括国际法院的司法判决,Brownlie[17]提供了对从国内法法院到其他国际法院诸如欧洲法院的司法判决种类的具体阐释,以及这些判决如何向国际法渊源事项施加影响,虽然他指明白其中一些是“重要的”,但这些司法判决作为一种渊源形式的重要作用仍是间接的,主要存在于它们对国际习惯法的好处上。
国际刑事法院(InternationalCriminalCourt--ICC)是根据联合国1998年7月17日外交全权代表会议通过的《国际刑事法院规约》(又称《罗马规约》)的规定建立的。
《罗马规约》于2002年7月1日起正式生效,国际刑事法院也于当天正式成立。
2003年6月16日,50岁的阿根廷联邦检察官奥坎波在荷兰海牙宣誓就任国际刑事法院的第一任首席检察官。
根据《罗马规约》,国际刑事法院将对批准国及联合国安理会移交的案件进行审理,但只审理2002年7月1日以后发生种族灭绝罪、战争罪和反人类罪等严重的国际犯罪案件。
国际刑事法院与现有的其他国际司法机构的不同,其他法庭均有一定存在期限,而国际刑事法院是一个永久性的国际司法机构。
国际刑事法院将审理国家、检举人和联合国安理会委托它审理的案件。
此法院有权对种族灭绝罪、战争罪、反人类罪和侵略罪进行审判,但是只追究个人的刑事责任,而且是在各个国家所属的法院不能自主审理的情况下才可介入。
检察官将根据国际刑事法院预审法庭的同意,应某个国家或联合国安理会的请求对罪犯进行起诉。
根据规定,国际刑事法院无权审理2002年7月1日以前发生的犯罪案件。
简介国际刑事法院是根据联合国1998年7月17日外交全权代表会议通过的《国际刑事法院规约》(又称《罗马规约》)的规定,于2002年7月1日正式成立的。
根据规定,国际刑事法院必须在《罗马规约》获得60个国家的签署和批准后才可成立。
截至2006年11月1日止,全球已经有134个国家签署了《规约》,并有104个国家批准了《规约》,其中非洲国家29个,美洲国家23个,欧洲国家37个,但在亚洲48个国家中,仅有阿富汗、柬埔寨、约旦、东帝汶、韩国、塔吉克斯坦、格鲁吉亚、蒙古、塞浦路斯9个国家批准了《规约》,却有30个与美国签署了旨在排除国际刑事法院管辖权的“98条协定”。
此外,在公约所有缔约国中,有40个国家已经具备实施《规约》的国内法律,有31个国家已经完成了立法草案。
从《国际法院规约》第38条看国际法的渊源国际法的渊源问题,是长久以来一直存在争议的问题,也是国际法学中最基本的理论问题。
《国际法院规约》第38条是研究国际法渊源问题的重要的线索,通说认为其揭示了国际法渊源中最为重要的五项内容,分别为国际条约、国际习惯、一般法律原则、司法判例及各国权威最高之公法家学说。
通过分析《国际法院规约》第38条,有助于更加清楚的了解国际法的渊源这一法律问题。
国际法的渊源问题,是长久以来一直存在争议的问题,也是国际法学中最基本的理论问题。
《国际法院规约》(以下简称《规约》)第38条,一直以来都被看作是关于国际法渊源的权威性说明[1]:国际法院在审理案件时可适用的独立法律渊源主要有国际条约、国际习惯、一般法律原则以及“公允及善良”原则。
尽管纵观《国际法院规约》第38条的规定,没有任何一款提及“国际法渊源”字样,但是在制定国际法院裁判依据的同时,它成为了探究国际法渊源的重要线索。
一、《规约》第38条的背景与存在的问题《规约》存在的问题就是起草者无法更好地处理自然法因素与实在法体系的矛盾。
《规约》及其前身《国际常设法院规约》产生的背景是实在法学派观点的盛行。
受实在法学的影响,起草者们试图列出一系列实在的法律,以此作为国际法院判案依据。
然而,由于不存在一个超国家机构来为国际法院制定判案依据,实在国际法不足以解决国际法院适用法律的问题。
因此《规约》不得不纳入自然法并允许以自然国际法来解释实在国际法,甚至允许自然国际法中的一般法律原则能够直接被法院用来判案。
然而,起草者们又在自然国际法的元素上增加了实在主义的限制:自然法作为某一类型的“公法家学说”被降格为“补助资料”;“一般法律原则”则被“为文明各国所承认”的规定所限制。
这样以来,使得《规约》表面上看来仍然是一套实在的法律体系,但是那些被加入的对国际法院的法律适用至关重要的自然法元素变得不伦不类,难以发挥应有作用;同时,这些元素的存在反而打破了《规约》的内在一致性,使得《规约》本质上不再是一个实在法体系。
国际法庭设在什么地方2篇第一篇:国际法庭设在何地的问题在国际法领域引起了广泛的讨论和关注。
作为国际法的最高司法机构,国际法庭的设立地点十分重要,涉及到国际法的权威性和公正性等方面的问题。
本文将对国际法庭设在何地进行探讨,并介绍一些重要的国际法庭的设立地点。
一、国际法庭设在何地的考虑因素国际法庭的设立地点需要考虑以下几个因素:1. 舆论和政治压力国际法庭的设立地点需要面对各国政治和舆论的压力。
一些国家可能希望将国际法庭设立在自己的领土上,以获得国际影响力和政治地位。
因此,设立地点的选择需要考虑各国政治关系的平衡,并避免受到某一国家的过度干涉。
2. 制度和法治体系国际法庭的设立地点需要有健全的制度和法治体系。
这是确保国际法庭正常运作的基本保障。
设立地点国家的司法制度和法律体系应当得到国际认可,以便国际法庭可以在该国的法律框架内独立、公正地履行职责。
3. 交通和通信便利性国际法庭的设立地点需要具备交通和通信便利性。
这是为了方便国际法庭的相关人员、当事人和证人的出庭和交流。
设立地点国家的航空、铁路、公路和通信设施应当完善,以便国际法庭可以顺利开展工作。
二、重要的国际法庭的设立地点以下是一些重要的国际法庭的设立地点的介绍:1. 联合国国际法院(ICJ)- 荷兰海牙联合国国际法院是国际社会最高的司法机构,负责解决各国之间的法律争端。
它的设立地点位于荷兰海牙的和平宫。
海牙作为国际法的重要中心,拥有完善的法治体系和交通通信便利设施。
海牙也是联合国的总部所在地,设立国际法院在这里无疑是具有重要的象征意义和实际意义的。
2. 国际刑事法院(ICC)- 荷兰海牙国际刑事法院是国际社会第一家永久性的国际刑事法庭,负责处理战争罪、危害人类罪和追究个人责任等重大刑事案件。
它也设立在荷兰海牙,与联合国国际法院共享海牙的法律和交通通信优势。
3. 非洲人权法庭(African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights)- 坦桑尼亚阿鲁沙非洲人权法庭是专门负责审理非洲国家之间的人权争端的国际法庭。

大致有以下几种观点。
一些人认为立法者是法的渊源,这是考虑到立法者是制定具体法律的实际操作者。
有人认为应该从赋予约束力的角度来分析法的价值渊源,并认为法的价值渊源是法的渊源。
自然法学家认为的上帝法、理性、正义是法的渊源,而实在法学家认为法律秩序内的法规以价值的根本规范是其法的渊源。
二、重温《国际法院规约》第38条学者普遍认为《国际法院规约》第38条是对国际法渊源的一种完整陈述。
笔者在此引用《奥本海国际法》对国际法渊源的定义:奥本海教授认为国际法渊源应该分为形式渊源和实质渊源两类。
形式渊源是指法律规则产生其有效性的渊源,即是什么使法律规则有约束力。
实质渊源是指该规则实质内容的出处,而一般讨论的国际法渊源主要是指国际法的形式渊源。
1.不论普遍或特别国际协约,确立诉讼当事国明白承认之规条者。
这里的关键词是:International conventions(国际公约、条约)条约是对国际习惯加以解说和适用,习惯是在长期实践中得出的是法律规则形成的一个漫长的过程,一旦经过法律确念就会具有普遍的约束性,即成为条约。
以《维也纳条约法公约》(后简称《公约》)为例,《维也纳条约法公约》被称为是条约法的法典。
作为专门处理条约法问题的问题的国际法公约,它被称为是成功的国际法编纂和良好的条约法典。
《公约》不仅仅汇编了当时的国际习惯法规则,同时结合当下的国际现状对条约法进行了一定程度的发展例如,第二次世界大战之后许多新兴的第三世界国家逐步登上国际舞台,公约加入了新型独立国家的观点。
并且确定和重新确认了包括条约必须遵守原则等国际社会公认的原则。
特别重要的的是《联合国宪章》。
已经成为现今国际社会基本法律文件。
[国际法院的职能思考与改革]法院职能一、概述国际法院(International Court of Justice),又称为国际法庭,是联合国的司法裁决机构,根据《国际法院规约》于1946年2月成立。
院址在荷兰海牙的和平宫,亦称“海牙国际法庭”。
国际法院的主要功能是对各国所提交的案件做出仲裁,或在联合国大会及联合国安理会的请求下提供咨询性司法建议。
它还可以审理涉嫌违反国际法的案件。
法院由大会和安理会分别投票选出的15名法官组成,设正副院长各一人,由法官中推选。
法官不代表任何国家,其中不得有两人属于同一国籍,根据规约,法院的管辖包括各当事国提交的一切案件和《联合国宪章》或任何现行条约及公约中所特定的一切事件。
争端当事国的同意是法院对诉讼案件管辖的基础。
法院设在海牙,但法院的审判得根据案件的需要在其他地方进行。
所有联合国成员国都是国际法院规约的当然参加国。
非联合国会员国经联合国安理会建议并取得大会同意后,也可作为规约参加国,如瑞士。
(现瑞士已是联合国的成员国),国际法院的正式语言是法文和英文。
二、国际法院的职权作为联合国的主要司法机关,国际法院的职能有两项:一是解决国际争端:即通过行使诉讼管辖权,处理关于国家之间争端的案件。
二是发表咨询意见,即通过行使咨询管辖权为联合国大会和安理会等国际机构提供法律咨询意见。
(一)、国际法院的诉讼管辖:是指提交给法院的诉讼具有的管辖权。
1、对国家的管辖就诉讼管辖权而言,只有国家才可以把他们之间的争端的案件交给国际法院来裁决,它不受理非国家即使是一个政府间的国际组织的诉讼,当然不接受个人的诉讼。
诉讼到国际法院的国家有三类:第一类是联合国的会员国;第二类是它不是联合国的会员国,但它是《国际法院规约》的当事国,如果上述两类国家都不是,那么一个国家与别国发生争端后,愿意按照《联合国宪章》的规定把他们之间的争端交给国际法院审判,对此,法院也有管辖权。
2、对案件的管辖,有三类案件法院有权受理:第一类是自愿提交的案件。
国际法院海牙国际法庭,其正式名称为国际法院(International Court of Justice),位于荷兰海牙。
是联合国六大机构之一,成立于1946年。
国际法院也设在海牙市中心的和平宫,和平宫建于1913年,一战后成立的国际联盟常设国际法院及其继承者——二战后成立的联合国国际法院均在此办公。
进得门来,厅廊宽敞,墙上悬挂着著名法学家的画像,楼梯旁陈列着各国赠送的礼品。
海牙国际法庭其主要作用是:解决各国向其提交的法律争端,并就联合国机关提交的法律问题提供咨询意见。
国际法院依据《国际法院规约》和本身的《规则》运行,依照国际法解决各国向法院提交的法律争端,并就正式认可的联合国机关和专门机构提交的法律问题提供咨询意见。
2、国际海洋法法庭,位于德国汉堡,是根据《联合国海洋法公约》设立的独立司法机关,旨在裁判因解释或实施《公约》所引起的争端。
法庭管辖权包括根据《公约》及其《执行协定》提交法庭的所有争端,以及在在赋予法庭管辖权的任何其它协定中已具体规定的所有事项工作近况海牙国际法庭从1993年,其主要任务是对前南斯拉夫地区所谓严重侵犯人权和违反人道主义的人员进行起诉和审判。
在1995年波黑战争结束后,该法庭指控并通缉70多名涉嫌在波黑内战期间犯有各种罪行的人员。
1999年,以美国为首的北约对南联盟发动军事侵略后期,该法庭又以“种族清洗”和“反人类”等罪名对米洛舍维奇等5名南联盟高级军政官员发出通缉令。
国际法院具有双重作用:依照国际法解决各国向其提交的法律争端,并就正式认可的联合国机关和专门机构提交的法律问题提供咨询意见。
向国际法院提交的案件中的原告和被告都必须是国家。
国际法院是具有特定管辖权限的民事法院,而没有刑事管辖权,因此无法审判个人。
该院受理的案件中,半数以上是领土和边界纠纷,同其他法院一样,国际法院奉行不告不理原则,无权主动受理案件。
海牙国际法庭由15名法官组成。
法官候选人需要在联合国安理会和联合国大会分别获得绝对多数赞成票才能当选,每届任期9年,每三年改选1/3,以保持工作的连续性;全体法官以无记名投票方式推举院长,院长每届任期三年。
法官是国际法院的灵魂,他们人数虽少,但还得考虑到地区均衡,尤其是照顾到世界各大文化和主要法系。
据此原则,亚洲三名,非洲三名,拉美两名,西欧、北美、大洋洲五名,东欧两名。
按照《国际法院规约》规定,当选国际法院法官,必须是品格高尚并在本国具有最高司法职位的任命资格或公认的国际法专家。
在程序上,国际法院法官由联合国大会和安理会选举产生,而且都要获得绝对多数,所以往往数次投票才能成功。
由于世界瞩目的位置,除了两会选举之外,不能有哪个国家在国际法院中自动拥有一席之地。
但作为特权,五个常任理事国可一直有人担任法官。
工作职能解决各国向其提交的法律争端,并就联合国机关提交的法律问题提供咨询意见。
国际法院依据《国际法院规约》和本身的《规则》运行,依照国际法解决各国向法院提交的法律争端,并就正式认可的联合国机关和专门机构提交的法律问题提供咨询意见。
2、国际海洋法法庭,位于德国汉堡,是根据《联合国海洋法公约》设立的独立司法机关,旨在裁判因解释或实施《公约》所引起的争端。
法庭管辖权包括根据《公约》及其《执行协定》提交法庭的所有争端,以及在在赋予法庭管辖权的任何其它协定中已具体规定的所有事项。
依照国际法解决各国向其提交的法律争端,并就正式认可的联合国机关和专门机构提交的法律问题提供咨询意见。
向国际法院提交的案件中的原告和被告都必须是国家。
国际法院是具有特定管辖权限的民事法院,而没有刑事管辖权,因此无法审判个人。
国际法院的职权包括诉讼管辖权和咨询管辖权(1)诉讼管辖权。
国际法院的诉讼管辖权是指国际法院审理争端当事国提交的诉讼案件的权利。
国际法院的诉讼当事国包括以下三类国家:1联合国会员国。
联合国的会员国同时也是《国际法院规约》的当事国;2非联合国的会员国的《国际法院规约》的当事国;3其他国家,预先向国际法院交存声明,表明承认国际法院管辖权,保证执行国际法院的判决的国家。
国际法院受理的案件有:1各当事国提交的一切案件;2 《联合国宪章》或其他现行条约及协定中所特定的一切案件;3 根据《国际法院规约》提交的案件。
(2)咨询管辖权联合国大会、安理会可就任何法律问题请求国际法院发表咨询意见,经联合国大会授权的联合国机关及其专门机构只有权请求国际法院就其职权范围内法律问题发表咨询意见。
任何联合国会员国无权请求,亦不得阻止国际法院发表咨询意见。
该院受理的案件中,半数以上是领土和边界纠纷,同其他法院一样,国际法院奉行不告不理原则,无权主动受理案件。
