A pandemia COVID-19 despertou reflexões latentes acerca das capacidades normativas e institucionais da OMS para responder a pandemias, instigando a comunidade internacional a repensar alternativas para que a crise não se repita. Com esse intuito, o presente artigo elenca sugestões para aproveitar mecanismos já existentes no sistema de governança da saúde global, assim como novas propostas advindas de uma reforma normativa e institucional da OMS.

By developing international law, international courts can also contribute to the protection and promotion of community interests. The ICJ, in particular , is capable of promoting community interests by adjudicating interState claims.

This article intends to reflect on the expansion of international normative powers beyond an inter-state logic and its impact in the global order. The growth of participation of nonstate actors and the boost of new sources go beyond Classical International Law tools and lead to challenges, including legitimacy and accountability concerns. Given the questions raised, the possible contribution of the European Union mechanisms of good governance and multilevel governance to the system of Global Governance will be evaluated.

This article intends to access the role of governance reforms as a response to the challenges raised by the expansion of normative powers in International and European legal orders. Arguably, traditional legal categories have ceased to adequately reflect the actual stage of economic, social and legal cross-border relations within multiples actors and interests. Changes in International and European law-making are indeed noticeable and result in many regulatory challenges derived from the increased participation of non-state actors. These changes produce impact via soft law instruments, such as recommendations, guidelines, non-binding agreements and reports. Particularly, for decision-making processes involving public interest, questions of legitimacy and accountability are frequently raised in the exercise of authority. In spite of the European Union’s particular structure, the challenges concerning the division and allocation of authority at the EU level are common to those reflected at the international level. In the last decades, there has been an “evolution” in the EU Governance, including the development of good and multilevel governance mechanisms. By implementing a deductive method, this article aims to access to what extend the EU institutional response can encourage and inspire the accommodation of the international legal order to the current normativity changes.

JUSTIÇA | Abril 2020
Na medida em que avança o número de casos de Covid-19 pelo mundo, desenvolve-se a implementação de medidas de mitigação e supressão da pandemia por cada governo. Do fechamento de fronteiras até a vigilância em massa e ordem de confinamento total, muitas restrições a garantias e liberdades individuais têm sido implementadas por países, amparadas por regulações emergenciais. Não obstante, sem desconsiderar a gravidade da crise, especialistas da ONU 1 alertaram que os Estados não devem abusar das medidas de emergência para suprimir direitos humanos. No caso específico do Brasil, questiona-se: existem normas internas e internacionais que regulam situações de emergência como a presente? Quais são os limites em matéria de direitos humanos aplicáveis à pandemia Covid-19 no Brasil?

This article evaluates the judicial dialogue between the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR). It aims to discuss, on the one hand, the use of the ICJ jurisprudence in the case law of the Inter-American Court and the use of the IACtHR jurisprudence in the case law of the ICJ, on the other hand. Being aware that the ICJ and the IACtHR are placed in different levels and possess structural differences, the judicial dialogue between these two courts is inevitably marked by asymmetries. The empirical analysis of the interaction between the ICJ and the IACtHR aims to identify the functions of the judicial dialogue, which encompass the general cross-fertilization function and the function of enhancing the persuasiveness, authority or legitimacy of individual judicial decisions.

International institutions and international law have a relevant role not only in the provision of Global Public Goods, but also in their maintenance and administration. Community interests are related to GPG, as they tend to transcend States' individuals' interests and ensure the protection of the international community. The protection of human rights can be considered the most prominent among other expressions of community interest. As a component of the international governance structure, international courts and tribunals (ICTs) can be considered a key element to the promotion of the international rule of law, including the provision of GPG. As the principal judicial organ of the UN, the ICJ is able to promote GPG by adjudicating interState

By developing international law, international courts can also contribute to the protection and promotion of community interests, by adjudicating interstate claims. The aim of this project is, particularly within the International Court of Justice, to appreciate the relentless demands involving community interests and present a non-traditional response to its challenges. The main obstacle faced by the ICJ relates to the existing tension between the bilateral nature of its own proceedings and the multilateral nature of the conflicting substantive law. Whereas the rules of that protect community interests are considered to be substantive law, those guiding international adjudication are of a procedural nature. As procedure may guide and shape the application of substantive law, it should itself be interpreted and developed in a manner to ensure community interests. Our proposal is that using its power to 'frame rules for carrying out its functions' (Art. 30 of the Statute of the ICJ), independently from consent, the Court should assume expanded procedural powers in order to ensure the effective application of substantive law whenever community interests are at issue. Most procedural rules can be adjusted and tailored for multiparty aspects (enhancing participatory mechanisms) with the aim of protecting community interests and enhancing international court's legitimacy. It is up to the Court to find the balance between State's rights and commonly aspired goals, acknowledging the relation between the emergence of soft international law-making (procedure) and its role of addressing the provision of community interests (substance).

By adjudicating interState claims, international courts can also contribute to the protection and promotion of community interests. However, the main obstacle faced by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) relates to the existing tension between the bilateral nature of its own proceedings and the multilateral nature of the conflicting substantive law.

By using its power to "frame rules for carrying out its functions", the Court should assume expanded procedural powers in order to ensure the effective application of substantive law whenever community interests are at issue. Most procedural rules can be adjusted for multiparty aspects, notably the rules on third-party intervention, with the aim of protecting community interests and enhancing the Court's legitimacy. It is up to the Court to find the balance between States' rights and commonly aspired goals.

This article evaluates the impact of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) jurisprudence in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) case law. Based on empirical and qualitative analysis, it aims to present an overview of citations patterns in ICJ case law as far as the IACtHR is concerned. Since most external citations to IACtHR case law by the ICJ are found in individual opinions, this article will also present a qualitative analysis of the most cited issues by the most active ICJ judge with a view to identifying the functions of the judicial dialogue, as developed by Anne-Marie Slaughter, which encompass (i) the general cross-fertilization function; and (ii) the function of ‘enhancing the persuasiveness, authority or legitimacy of individual judicial decisions. The article intends to assess the ICJ’s openness to judicial dialogue, in particular with the IACtHR.
