Anglo-American and Continental Traditions in Advocacy before International Courts and Tribunals

Abstract

CR: Ok, well, I am sure that is the age of majority somewhere [laughter]. In the ILC he tackled one of my favourite subjects: reservations to treaties. He has been counsel in over 60 cases before the ICJ and arbitral tribunals. On my right is Professor James Crawford, who is of course the Whewell Professor of International Law here at Cambridge. He also served-and they were contemporaneous for a large spell-on the ILC, where he tackled such lightweight subjects as the International Criminal Court and state responsibility. He also has extensive advocacy experience, with 50 cases before the ICJ and other international tribunals and over 20 arbitrations.
