Seminar: Ireland and the ICJ - Tuesday 26th July 2011

It was recently announced that Ireland is to accept the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice in The Hague. This informal seminar will consider the role of the ICJ and Ireland’s history with the Court, in particular its participation in the Nuclear Weapons cases, the Israeli Wall case and the Kosovo case. Also to be considered are the implications of Ireland submitting to compulsory jurisdiction and the reasons why it has de-layed for so long in taking this step.
