Over the past twenty years, the volume of international litigation and arbitration has increased exponentially. As the number of new international courts and tribunals has proliferated, the diversity and volume of advocates appearing before the international courts has also increased. With this increase, the ethical standards that apply to counsel have become a growing field of interest to practitioners of public international law. Problems threatening the integrity of the international judicial process and concerns about divergent ethical standards amongst counsel have multiplied in the international judicial system, prompting early attempts by senior members of the 'international bar' to articulate common ethical standards.

Professional Ethics at the International Bar examines the question of how to articulate common ethical standards for counsel appearing before international courts and tribunals, and the legal powers and practical ability of international courts to prescribe and enforce such standards. It conducts original research into both the theory and practice of the issues arising from this nascent process of professionalization. Using various sources, including interviews with judges, registrars, and senior practitioners, it argues that the professionalization of advocacy through the articulation of common ethical standards is both desirable and feasible in order to protect the integrity and fairness of the international judicial process.

Reviews for Professional Ethics at the International Bar

The leading work on the subject of the professional ethics of counsel before international courts and tribunals with valuable insight and information on the subject. A useful resource for practitioners, courts and academics alike with an interest in the law and practice of international courts and tribunals. Judge Jean-Pierre Cot, International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea The inclusion in the prestigious series on International Courts and Tribunals and the impressive number of quotations that the book can already boast are testimony to its quality. This monograph does not shy away from taking upon its metaphorical shoulder the daunting task to serve as paradigm text for a whole new field of studies, as well as a handy repository of best practices (and worst problems) for anyone caring and daring enough to participate in a reform of the system.
