Summary:

'Governance of International Courts and Tribunals' presents a systematic examination of the institutions, practices, and norms that constitute international judicial governance - the oversight exercised by states and international organisations over international courts and tribunals to ensure their independent, accountable, and effective functioning. Departing from the traditional focus on courts' mandates, jurisprudence, and procedures, the book turns attention to international judicial governance institutions (what the book terms 'injugovins') - the political and executive bodies, such as organs of international organisations or dedicated governance bodies, responsible for overseeing courts.
