Governance of global peace and security through the international courts: Serving a holistic purpose or maintaining hegemony?
Authors

Abstract
This paper examines the role of the
international courts in the governance of global peace and security, and
whether they serve a holistic purpose or maintain hegemony. It argues that the
international judicial system is not a neutral arbiter of justice, but rather a
political instrument that reflects and reinforces the interests and values of
the dominant powers. The paper analyzes the jurisdiction, composition, and
decision-making processes of the main international courts, such as the
International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, and the WTO.
It also explores the challenges and limitations that these institutions face in
addressing complex and multifaceted issues of peace and security. The paper
concludes that although these international courts have made some positive
contributions to the promotion of global peace and security, they also suffer
from serious flaws and biases that undermine their legitimacy and
effectiveness.
