Abstract

Before analyzing the procedural institution of the amicus curiae throughout an array of international judicial bodies, the phenomenon known as “fragmentation of International Law” must be considered. This initial background will enable us to achieve a better understanding of the way this institution is used in the different international jurisdictions, and it will help us drawing certain distinctions within them. Subsequently, we will study the amicus curiae itself, its development and its application in general terms. Finally, we will pay particular attention to the way this institution is employed at an international level, the core of this research work.
