List of international courts[edit]

I've added a rough list of international courts, mostly just copied from Category:International courts so I'm probably missing a few. I've included the International Military Tribunal but not the Subsequent Nuremberg Trials as these were conducted by a single government. I've also left out the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which is really just a private dispute-settlement panel. Polemarchus (talk) 22:32, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Sub-Regional Courts[edit]

I've added a number of sub-regional courts, all of which are listed on the Project on International Courts and Tribunals website cited at the bottom of the page. PICT is apparently a collaboration between University College London and other academic institutions. For some reason, many of these listings were removed when I tried to put these courts here some time ago, for reasons that I don't understand. I would appreciate an explanation of what the problem is, if someone intends to revert the page yet again. 128.59.182.86 (talk) 23:12, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Removal of certain entries from list[edit]

The following entries should be removed from the list because they do not qualify as "international courts":

  • European Commission of Human Rights – not a judicial body
  • Human Rights Chamber for Bosnia and Herzegovina – a national court with foreign judges
  • Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia – a national court with foreign judges

Thank you for the clarification, I stand corrected. However, the article does mention the existence of "hybrid tribunals" in the intro section. Should a section be created to list these hybrid tribunals (national courts with foreign judges), such as the Human Rights Chamber for Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Khmer Rouge Trial?

I think such a section would be a good idea. It should also include the Extraordinary African Chambers in Senegal. – Zntrip 18:44, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
