Smbatyan, A.S. Is there need to “save” the system of international judiciary from fragmenting?

Abstract: Lack of hierarchy in the system of international judiciary reflects specific features of international law, which is initially fragmented. The attempts to form a hierarchy by heightening the status of the ICJ, as well as “division of labor” would lead to the leveling of the very meaning of international justice.


Keywords:

jurisprudence, fragmenting, diversification, system, judiciary, justice, hierarchy, international, law, precedents.
