International Law and Litigation : A Look into Procedure
This preamble sets out to introduce the topic of international procedural
law, focusing on the intellectual history of international dispute settle-
ment. The leading idea is to take a picture of the major contributions to
the reflection on international procedural law, starting from some mile-
stone works which developed the basic ideas, the epistemic grounds of an
international procedural law. It will particularly focus, chronologically, on
six fundamental authors: B. Windscheid, M. Huber, N. Politis, G. Morelli,
S. Rosenne and E. Lauterpacht.
Why six authors? First, the idea draws of course on the novel and play by
Luigi Pirandello (Sei personaggi in cerca di autore3), where the novelist
changed the perspective and tried to shed light on a different perspective
(being the relationship between not only the characters, but also their link
to the author and the different actors at play in a theatre). This shift of per-
spective suits perfectly the project of conceiving and identifying interna-
tional procedural law: looking at practices, documents, postures that may
be well known to international lawyers while unveiling a new perspective,
focusing on what procedure actually is and means.
