Resumen de The rediscovery of advisory opinions of the International Court of Justice as a tool for international public interest litigation

Laura Movilla Pateiro

• In the context of the growing judicialization of international relations, this study focuses on the resurgence of advisory opinions of the International Court of Justice as a legal tool for the protection of international public interest. It analyses three main dimensions: their role in the reaffirmation, consolidation and progressive development of the obligations to protect the general interests of the international community; their usefulness as an instrument available to international organizations — particularly the United Nations General Assembly — for the defence of these interests; and the increasing involvement of non‑state actors in both the request for and the conduct of advisory proceedings.
