international courts

International courts are standing tribunals entrusted with judicial functions over international disputes (that is, disputes governed by international norms, typically involving states as disputing parties). Jurists characterized these courts by a few common attributes, in that they have (1) an independent body of judges; (2) authority to render binding decisions; (3) processes governed by law; (4) a constitutive instrument valid under international law; and (5) a framework independent of any particular dispute.
