The book and chapter is available Open Access - see here.

For the chapter: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐎𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐂𝐉, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐓𝐋𝐎𝐒, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐀𝐂𝐭𝐇𝐑, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐟𝐂𝐭𝐇𝐏𝐑 (see) — explores the scope of judicial dialogue amongst international courts and tribunals.

This has been extremely important with the quartet of requests for #advisoryopinions on climate change at International Court of Justice (ICJ), International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea/Tribunal international du droit de la mer, Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and recently African Court on Human and Peoples'​ Rights. We examine overlaps in legal arguments, the scope and limits of jurisdiction, how the courts “talk” to each other, the risks of (potential) contradictory interpretations, and more. With the #ICJ advisory opinion expected later this year, and the upcoming opinions from the IACtHR and AfCtHPR, this chapter — and the book — is especially timely. Immensely grateful to have had the chance to contribute and work together with such an amazing team!! Stay tuned!! Any thoughts, comments, and feedback would be most welcome.
