Towards a ‘Complete Remedy System’ Counterbalancing Jurisdictional Immunity
In the broader context of the accountability of international organisations, this book focuses on the obligation of the United Nations - like many other organisations - to ‘make provisions for appropriate modes of settlement of [...] disputes of a private law character’ to which it is a party. The book advocates a systematic approach in conformity with the rule of law in discharging that obligation. That is needed to increase the legitimacy of international organisations, while bolstering their jurisdictional immunity. The book develops the basic features of a comprehensive dispute settlement mechanism, complemented by a new United Nations convention.

This Series aims at filling a perceived need among practitioners and academics, arising from the increased recourse by States to the International Court of Justice and the growth of international litigation involving States before other courts and tribunals during the past twenty years. As a result of the enhanced utilization of judicial and arbitral means of peaceful settlement of disputes involving States, new procedures have developed, while previously unused or controversial provisions found in the statutory and other governing instruments have come under scrutiny and have been clarified by judges and arbitrators.

The Series sets out such issues and consists of practical books prepared by specialists, serving as self-contained references whenever the issues they cover come to the fore in a particular case. Although the point of departure is the International Court of Justice, the Series also deals with the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea and other international and arbitral courts and tribunals established for the settlement of disputes involving States.

This series aims to provide authoritative guidance on all aspects of the law of international organizations. This area of law has, over the years, developed into a separate field of study within the discipline of public international law. While it covers the law of individual organizations such as the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the International Criminal Court, and the European Union, it also includes thematic institutional law topics such as membership, decision-making, legal personality, and responsibility of international organizations. In these and other areas, international organizations face similar questions and share a number of common characteristics. The series aims to include works written by practitioners as well as academics.

The Max Planck Commentaries on World Trade Law explain the whole range of world trade law in seven individual article-by-article type commentaries. While the first volume (WTO – World Economic Order, World Trade Law) serves as a nutshell-type introduction to the WTO, the remaining six volumes focus on specific aspects of WTO law. The second volume (WTO – Institutions and Dispute Settlement) brings together the WTO institutional fundamentals and the whole dispute settlement. The third volume (WTO – Technical Barriers and SPS Measures) deals with the most controversial provisions on technical standards, protection of health and environment. The fourth volume (WTO – Trade Remedies) is devoted to the very specific area of antidumping, subsidies and safeguards. The fifth volume (WTO – Trade in Goods) comments on the substantial trade in good rules of the GATT/WTO. Finally, the sixth and seventh volume (WTO – Trade in Services and WTO – Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) deal with intellectual property rights and trade in services rules respectively.
