Prof. Ruiz Fabri appointed Co-Chair of the ILA’s International Committee “Procedure of International Courts and Tribunals”
On 7 May 2016, the Executive Council of the International Law Association (ILA) has established a new International Committee entitled "Procedure of International Courts and Tribunals" upon the proposal of Prof. Hélène Ruiz Fabri, who will co-chair it together with Professor Philippe Sands (University College London, UK) and Professor Shotaro Hamamoto (University of Tokyo, Japan). The Co-Rapporteurs within this new Committee are Dr Arman Savarian (University of Surrey, UK) and Dr. Fillipo Fontanelli (University of Edinburgh, UK).
The ILA's International Committees are established to undertake research and to prepare reports on carefully selected areas of international law. With this specific mandate, the newly established Committee will investigate over a five-year period (2016-2020) selected issues on which some reforms of Rules of Procedure could be recommended to inter-state courts and tribunals. After its official launch during the ILA biennial meeting in Johannesburg this August, the Committee will get together in Luxembourg for its first meeting at the end of October.
More information about the ILA International Committee is available on the ILA's website.
