6.4. Judiciary Apparatus
Under construction...
Ideas
- International judicial institutions are accessible to citizens, legal entities, or member states.
- The International Constitutional Court is the ultimate arbiter of constitutional questions.
- Other institutions of the international judicial apparatus do not have binding power over states and can only issue recommendations. These influence national decisions and may prompt states to reconsider certain decisions.
