VACATURE: New Checks and Balances at the Interface(s) between International and National Law (Post Doc)


New Checks and Balances at the Interface(s) between International and National Law (Post Doc)

The postdoctoral researcher will carry out research within the project New Checks and Balances at the Interface(s) between International and National Law. The project is part of the research project Internationalization of the Rule of Law, organized jointly with the Hague Institute for the Internationalization of Law. He or she will be based at the Amsterdam Center for International Law (ACIL).

The project will explore the role of national courts in the normative contestation between the international and the national rule of law. In recent years, in an increasing number of cases (involving the application of Security Council Resolutions, but also judgments of the European Court of Human Rights), national courts have declined to give effect to international obligations on the ground that such decisions would conflict with the rule of law or on other ground would be illegitimate. The project will map the relevant practices of national courts and the responses thereto at international level, explore how the activity of national courts fits into a system of checks and balances between international and national legal orders, reflect on normative contestation between different levels of governance, and examine what implications follow for legal theory and doctrine.

The postdoc will interact with related projects carried out at the ACIL, in particular its project on Postnational rule-making and on International law through the prism of national courts.

Candidates should apply with an outline of their research project (max. 1000 words).
