The primary research objective of PluriCourts is to analyze and assess the legitimate present and future roles of the cascade of international courts and tribunals (thus: PluriCourts)  – an emerging global judiciary– in the international and domestic order.

Why should ICTs enjoy such authority as they currently do, or claim?  That is, for which sound reasons should domestic or international authorities, or private individuals and bodies, defer to ICTs? To address these questions, PluriCourts focuses on five sectors of international law: human rights, trade, criminal law, investment, and environment–where the latter lacks a judiciary. We pursue three strands: their origins, function and effects, to draw conclusions about the legitimacy of this judiciary, and models for their future development.
