Contents
This advanced course deals with the humanization of state responsibility. We will explore the question to what extent the function of the international judiciary is protective as well as reactive. The focus is on the role of the International Court of Justice, on the one hand, and the European and Inter-American Courts of Human Rights, on the other hand. We will examine the approaches of these adjudicators to the obligations of States pending the international proceedings (provisional measures) and upon their conclusion (cessation of wrongful acts, assurances of non-repetition and reparation). In sum, the course deals with the continuum from prevention to reparation in international law.
