Under Article 38 of its Statute, the International Court of Justice can apply judicial
decisions only as a ‘‘subsidiary means for the determination of rules of law’’.
However, there are many reasons to believe that international courts and tribunals
do play quite an important role in the progressive development of international
law. There are a number of decisions which are inevitably recalled as the first step,
or a decisive step, in the process of the formation of a new rule of customary
international law. Can, in these cases, the judge be considered as a subsidiary of
others? Are these cases compatible with the common belief that a judge cannot
create law? Is this a peculiarity of international law, which is characterized by the
existence of several courts but the lack of a legislator? Do decisions by different
courts lead to the consequence of a fragmented international law? This volume
aims to provide the reader with an elaboration of various questions linked to the
legislative or, depending on the preferences, quasi-legislative role of courts.
In their choices of subjects, the contributors have taken into account both the
general aspects of the development of international rules through court decisions
and the instances of specific sectors of international law, such as human rights,
international crimes, international economic law, environmental law, and the law
of the sea. Others have chosen the subject of rules on jurisdiction and the pro-
cedure of international courts. The question of the courts’ role, mutatis mutandis,
in the development of areas of law different from public international law, namely
private international law and European Union law, has also been considered.
***
The subject of this collection of essays is also linked to the outstanding char-
acteristics of the scholar in honour of whom it is published at the time of his
retirement from the University of Milan. Tullio Treves combines an academic
background with the experiences of a negotiator of international treaties and a
judge of an international tribunal.1 He has been professor of international law

in the Italian Universities of Sassari, Turin, and Milan and has given and will
deliver lectures and courses in many and prestigious academies all around the
world, including the Hague Academy of International Law. His bibliography is
impressive for the quality and number of works, as well as for the variety of the
subjects and languages.2 His first diplomatic experience, as a legal expert of the
Italian delegation at the Third Conference of codification of international law of
the sea (1973–1982), has been followed by several others. In 1996 he was elected
judge of the International Tribunal for the Law of Sea where he sat until 2011. He
was subsequently also elected by his colleagues as President of the Seabed Dis-
putes Chamber of the Tribunal and largely contributed to the seminal advisory
opinion rendered by it in 2011 on Responsibilities and Obligations of States
Sponsoring Persons and Entities with respect to Activities in the Area.
It is also because he has a great deal to say on how international law develops
that the editors of this collection are certain that Tullio Treves will appreciate the
contributions written by friends and colleagues and collected in this volume.
***
The two original editors Nerina Boschiero and Tullio Scovazzi, owe a great
debt of gratitude to Tullio Treves under the supervision of whom they have begun
their legal studies and with whom they have subsequently shared many unfor-
gettable experiences. They have taken the initiative of promoting this collection of
essays also as the less young3 among those who have the privilege to consider
Tullio Treves as their mentor.
In their task, while having the benefit of reading in advance the contributions
and learning a great deal from them, the editors had to address two inevitable
questions
The first question was the drawing of the list of contributors. It was evident that
it would have been impossible to include all those who were willing to participate
for well justified reasons of friendship and collaboration and that a difficult and
perhaps questionable choice had to be made. The editors finally decided to invite a
number of lawyers who have participated with Tullio Treves in diplomatic
negotiations or have been judges at the International Tribunal for the Law of the
Sea. They have also included his colleagues at the Department of International
Law of the University of Milan and on the board of editors of the Rivista di Diritto
Internazionale Privato e Processuale. Finally, they have invited some young
scholars who have benefited from academic advice and supervision by Tullio
Treves during the development of their legal research.
The second question was the dimension of the contributions in order not to
exceed what could be contained in one volume. The editors started by prescribing
a precise limit of space and continued by strictly enforcing it. Most contributors

To be precise, Tullio Scovazzi is much older than Nerina Boschiero.

have complied with this imposition and the editors are sincerely grateful to them
because they have facilitated their task. Other contributors have not4 and the
editors are equally grateful to them, because they have understood the deeply
rooted Mediterranean culture of the editors, according to which every rule has its
exceptions.
***
The editors wish to thank all those people who in one way or another have
helped to bring this collection of essays to its conclusion. In particular the editors
are indebted to Chiara Ragni and Cesare Pitea, who with a lot of competence and
goodwill took much of the burden of the editorial effort on their shoulders and
were finally appointed editors, together with the two original ones. They are also
grateful to Angelica Bonfanti, Benedetta Cappiello, Chiara Sisler, Elena Fasoli,
Francesca Romanin Jacur, Giorgia Sosio De Rosa, Giulia Bigi, Luigi Crema,
Maria Chiara Noto, Michele Potest, Sabrina Urbinati, Seline Trevisanut, and
Stefano Brugnatelli who acted as ‘stylists’ in ensuring that each paper was written
in a uniform style as for abbreviations, quotations, and other details. Special thanks
are due to Peter Morris who supervised most of the papers written by non-English
native language contributors, to Seline Trevisanut, who did a similar work for texts
in French, as well as to Philip van Tongeren and Marjolijn Bastiaans who provided
the highly professional publishing services of T.M.C. Asser Press. It is also
appropriate to thank the Universities of Brescia, Cagliari, Milan, Milano-Bicocca,
Parma, and Trento which financed the publication of this book. Above all the
editors wish to express their gratitude to the group of friends, colleagues and
followers of Tullio Treves who generously contributed their intellectual resources
and valuable time to make possible the completion of this collective effort.

Tullio Treves: A Biographical Note
Tullio Treves was born in Tucumán, Argentina, on 20 September 1942. His father,
Renato Treves, an eminent philosopher and sociologist of law, and his mother,
Fiammetta Lattes, had fled to Argentina to escape the anti-semitic laws of Fascist
Italy.
He studied in the Italian school system from elementary school until he
graduated at Milan University Faculty of Law in 1964. He then started a scholarly
and academic career under Professor Mario Giuliano who taught Private Inter-
national Law and later International Law at the University of Milan’s Faculty of
Law. He held the position of Assistant to Professor Giuliano after 1967; from 1969
onwards he gave courses as chargé de cours at the Universities of Pavia and
Sassari. In 1972, he became a full professor (straordinario, tenured as ordinario in
1975) teaching at the University of Sassari’s Faculty of Law from 1972 to 1974 (as
dean in 1973–1974) and at the University of Turin’s Faculty of Political Sciences
from 1974 to 1980. From 1980 until his retirement in 2012 he taught at the
University of Milan’s Faculty of Law. In Milan he gave courses on Private
International Law, General International Law, and he inaugurated the teaching,
which he continued for many years, of Advanced International Law, promoting an
interactive method focusing on specific subjects and international case law. In
Milan he also gave informal seminars on new developments on international law
involving his pupils, young colleagues, and graduate students.
In his scholarly writing Tullio Treves started with private international law,
publishing books on exchange controls in the conflict of laws (1967) and on
jurisdiction in international criminal law (1973) and he wrote numerous articles
and notes stimulated by his participation in the Rivista di diritto internazionale
privato e processuale. In these writings, while following the technical method-
ology of the Italian approach to private international law, he also devoted a great
deal of attention to comparative law and to the connections between private and
public international law, as well as to the political implications of cases and
doctrinal trends.
His interests soon moved toward public international law. He published a long
essay on the topical issue of the continuity of treaties and new independent States
ix
x Tullio Treves: A Biographical Note
in 1969, and, stimulated by his involvement in the Italian Delegation to the Pre-
paratory Committee to the Third UN Conference on the Law of the Sea, and to the
Conference itself, he started writing on the law of the sea, dispute settlement,
international environmental law, and general questions of international law. He
continued and still continues to focus on these issues. Among the books published,
the following should be mentioned: Diritto Internazionale. Problemi fondamentali
(2005), the 1991 Hague lectures (in French) on State practice and the codification
of the Law of the Sea, the book (in Italian) on International disputes, new trends
and new tribunals (1999), and the 2006 Castellòn General Course in English on
International Law: Achievements and Challenges, in which he sets out his personal
views on customary law and international law-making, the fragmentation of
international law, the settlement of disputes, and other general topics.
He conceived and directed with enthusiasm collective research endeavours on
topical issues which actively involved young researchers in scholarly and orga-
nizational tasks, affording them the opportunity to interact with recognized
international scholars. Among them are those whose results appear, or are to
appear in book form, on Civil Society and International Courts and Tribunals, on
Non-Compliance Mechanisms and the Effectiveness of International Environ-
mental Law, and on Common Concerns and the Protection of International
Investment.
Tullio Treves has been involved in international activities since the early 1970s.
First, as a member of the Italian Delegation to the Third UN Conference on the
Law of the Sea (1973–1992), where he chaired the French Language Group of the
Drafting Committee, and at other conferences. Between 1984 and 1992, he was the
Legal Adviser to the Permanent Mission of Italy at the United Nations in New
York. In this capacity he chaired various working groups of the Sixth Committee
and was a member of the Italian delegation to the Security Council. In 1996, he
was elected as a Judge of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, a
position which, after having been re-elected in 2002, he left in 2012. At the
Tribunal he was twice President of the Seabed Disputes Chamber, including
the proceedings for the delivery, on 1 February 2011, of an Advisory Opinion upon
the request of the Council of the International Seabed Authority. He chaired the
Tribunal’s Committee of the Whole for the drafting of the Rules of the Tribunal.
Apart from his involvement in the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea,
Tullio Treves is an active participant in international litigation: counsel for France
in the Arbitration with Canada on the delimitation of maritime zones in the area of
Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon; counsel for Finland in the Great Belt case before the
International Court of Justice; counsel for Peru in the Peru v. Chile maritime
dispute before the ICJ; an arbitrator in the Bangladesh v. India maritime delimi-
tation case. A consultant to various Governments, International Organizations and
private entities; and Chairman of an Arbitration Tribunal for the Cairo Regional
Centre for International Commercial Arbitration.
He has given courses and lectured at many distinguished learning institutions,
including the Universities of Paris I and II, the Institute for Advanced Legal
Studies of Geneva, the Hague Academy of International Law, the Castellon

Appropriate Pattern. 49 from the practice of folding or
doubling. One may put together, for example, several sheets of
veneer, or even several planks, and, with one action of the saw, fret
all of them alike. That facility gave rise at all events to Boulle's
characteristic inlay patterns ; and in the balconies of Swiss chilets
one still sees a very effective kind of pierced pattern-work, which is
accounted for in a similar way. Bands or stripes of different colours
are so common in Eastern curtains, blankets, &c., because they can
be so easily woven. Even in more elaborate silk and other designs,
certain of the colours are very often distributed band-wise. The
variety of colour so obtained, is obviously due to the ease with
whiqh the weaver can change his shuttle. At the same time,
economy is thus often effected. If in such a design' as that on Plate
34 the flowers were meant to appear in gold, or only the eyes of the
flowers, the gold thread need only be used in the bands where the
flowers or eyes actually occur. You have but to look at the back of
any old piece of many-coloured silk damask to see the changes of
the shuttle very plainly marked. The aim of the designer is usually to

his pattern. But in the early days of silk weaving the unsophisticated
artist had no fear of a horizontal line. In such a pattern as the
Sicilian silk in Plate 20, he would boldly make the various bands of
animals in various colours. He would sometimes even carry bands of
colour straight across the animals, regardless of their shape. And the
effect of this rough-andready proceeding, in the silk itself, certainly
justifies him. In early examples of weaving both the turning over of
the pattern, and the banded arrangement of the colour are veiy
frequent; indeed, so much so, as to form quite marked features in
the design of the eleventh and following centuries, whether Sicilian
or Italian. (It was from Sicily, you know, that the art of weaving was
introduced into Italy.) Designers would be the more ready to adopt,
and to adhere to, the plan suggested.^; by the loom, in that the
horizontal line, due to it, was not anyways injurious to the effect of a
fabric meant to fall in folds. The dim vertical line, which was also
likely to occur from the turning over, was calculated to lose itself in

emphasised by the change of the shuttle had an absolute value in
marking the fulness of the hangings. In flat decoration the horizontal
band is less unobjectionable ; and it is for that reason that so many
of the wall-paper patterns, borrowed or stolen from good old stuffs
— by their stripes you shall know them — are altogether
unsatisfactory on the wall. To me, horizontal stripes always suggest
the ample hanging, and seem to want the folds. The bold and
beautiful effect of such a damask pattern as that in Plate 35 would
be lost if it were rendered in flat decoration, especially without the
charm of the texture of the stuff: those waving lines and bands of
big rosettes would be unendurable. That pattern, by the way,
although it actually works on the principle of the parallelogram —
was obviously arrived at by carrying across a series of waved upright
lines a broad horizontal band of rosettes. Many an admirable textile
pattern, otherwise in every way suitable, is inapplicable to flat
decoration, whether in the shape of silk, or chintz, or wall paper.
Some persons appear to be of opinion that.

Johnson, beiiig " something to be copied," design consists therefore
in copying what has been done before. That is all very well so far as
concerns the definition of the word pattern ; but how about the
meaning of the word design ? I would go beyond the lexicographer,
and say : not every pattern is an " exemplar." In adapting a design,
from one material to use in another, it is not enough to copy it, it
needs to be translated ; which translation is not so easy, but that an
artist gifted with any invention of his own, will find it, on the whole,
better worth while to say what it is in him to say for himself, and not
go on harping on the old, old tunes, melodious though they be. The
most perplexing thing about modern design is that we are asked
tcdesign, to-day under these conditions, to-morrow under those. We
have no traditions and no style. And yet in the very variety of the
efforts demanded of us there is relief of a kind ; and in the presence
of difficulties our ingenuity, if we have any, is excited. The more
difficult the conditions, the more they provoke solution. A designer
must have in him something

when he has somehow arrived ■ at a design, but inasmuch as out of
unpromising material and untoward circumstances he can shape a
