Abstract

ICAO Council Decisions and the Supervisory Role of the International Court of Justice Stratis G Georgilas I. Prolegomena Since 1995 and especially during the last decade, we witnessed a galloping increase of many states’ will to entrust the International Court of Justice (henceforth, the Court) with the task of resolving judicially their disputes under international law. One might argue that this change of mood tends to become an unprecedented one, given the proliferation of many judicial fora, either of universal or regional calibre and jurisdiction. The particular thrust of the Court’s clientele, toppled by the subject-matter of international disputes (pending or being adjudged before it) are apocalyptic, for no part of international law proper has remained untouched. Moreover one of the Court’s normative achievement, namely to interpret international conventions with a convincing force and establish legal certainty and continuity, captures one’s attention. The Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation is an early and notable example of this process, where the supervisory role of the Court was declared in 1972. The ‘Chicago Conference’ was concluded (and the Convention signed) a few months before VE day. Nowadays, 193 states are bound by its provisions. It is an instrument ‘distinguished by its
