Summary
One of the significant changes in the landscape of international law in recent decades has been the increase in the number of international courts and other forms of international dispute settlement. Not only has the number of such bodies increased, but their role and function has changed significantly, and include compulsory procedures and may allow a role for individuals (and other actors) in a realm once dominated by inter-state procedures. The European Union has contributed to this changing landscape. The Court of Justice of the European Union has been a model for other regional courts.
