Extract

The relationship of state sovereignty and the jurisdiction of international tribunals presents one of the main problems in the law of international adjudication. Submission to the jurisdiction of a tribunal implies a partial surrender of sovereignty. The extent of the surrender may be said to be proportionate to the degree of discretion open to the tribunal concerned when deciding a case submitted to it. The present study will deal with an important aspect of this judicial freedom of determination, namely, the extent to which the World Court can seek to discover the facts and circumstances of a dispute independently of the evidence and information brought before it voluntarily by the parties.

7 When considering the power of an international judicial tribunal to call evidence of its own motion, the problem will immediately arise, what is the difference between law and fact? This consideration is of importance because there is no question of proof of a general rule of international law — jura novit curio: see Brazilian Loans Case, P.C.I.J., Ser. A., No. 20/21, 124 (1929). Further, if a state relies on something special unto itself such as a treaty right or regional rule of international law, the tribunal will take account of these more specific rules if it is aware of them; a state, however, obviously takes a risk if it does not submit enough material upon which to lay the foundation of its right: see Judge Basdevant in the Case of Certain Norwegian Loans, [1957] I.C.J. Rep. 9, 74. Thus questions of law as opposed to questions of fact need not be raised by the parties themselves; the tribunal can, and should, examine them proprio motu. See Smith, Carsten, The Relation between Proceedings and Premises 104–05 (Universitets foalaget, 1962).Google Scholar

8 I.C.J. Statute, Art. 34(1), provides that “only states may be parties in cases before the Court.” (Reference will only be made to the I.C.J. Statute and Rules except where the provisions of the P.G.I.J. Statute and Rules differ.)

Clearly, disputes concerning exclusively matters of fact may be brought before the Court, for the states concerned may agree that the fact to be established would constitute a breach of international law: see Serbian Loans Case, P.C.I.J., Ser. A, No. 20, 19 (1929).

17 P.C.I.J. Ser. C, No. 72, 510 (1931). Several factors contribute to the difficulties faced by tribunals and counsel in the acquisition of evidence. Those factors which have received most frequent attention before the World Court and other international judicial tribunals are: (i) the principle of territorial sovereignty (for example, see Corfu Channel Case (Merits) [1949] I.C.J. Rep. 4, 18); (ii) absence of authority to compel the attendance of witnesses, administer oaths and impose penalties for perjury; (iii) absence of authority to compel the production of documents; (iv) negligence of claimants in furnishing material to substantiate their claims; (v) complex conditions provoking the conflicting claims submitted to judicial settlement; and (vi) the elements of distance and time.

26 But see the arbitration involving the boundaries between French Guiana and Brazil, where the Swiss Federal Council, in its decision as arbitrator, declared that ‘“the arbitrator holds he is not bound to confine himself to the contentions of the parties and the sources of evidence which they invoke. ... It is the duty of the arbitrator… to ascertain the truth by all means which are at his disposal.” This passage is reproduced in Commentary on the Draft Convention on Arbitral Procedure, I.L.C. Doc.

105 For the effective administration of testimonial proof a tribunal must have the power, it is suggested, to compel the attendance of witnesses and the giving of evidence by the witnesses, and to punish for perjury.
