International Law in Domestic Courts

|
International Law in Domestic Courts (ILDC) covers international law as applied in the domestic courts in approximately 70 jurisdictions. ILDC focuses on relevant cases from the year 2000 to the present for each jurisdiction.  Occasionally, ILDC reports on much earlier cases if they are very important for the development of international law jurisprudence in a particular jurisdiction.

ILDC also covers case law from certain territorial entities that are not generally classified as states because the judicial decisions of such entities can be of interest to international lawyers, as recognized by the International Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights, amongst others. 

Reported cases include a summary of the facts, holdings and analysis.  Facts are numbered beginning with the letter 'F'; holdings begin with the letter 'H'; and analysis begins with the letter 'A'.  In addition, cases identify:

  • core issue(s) 
  • secondary sources that discuss the decision
  • the governing law applied
A link to the citation record is included in the menu on the left-hand side of the page.  Very often the case is presented in its original language following the English language version.
