Abstract:	Part 3 of 3: 'Questions of Admissibility before International Courts Delivered by Professor Yuval Shany; chaired by Dr Roger O'Keefe Thursday, 1 March 2012 This third lecture examines the role of admissibility challenges in the work of international courts. It first examines the differences between jurisdiction (including pre-conditions to jurisdiction) and admissibility rules, and offers some possible distinguishing features (e.g., explicit discretion in application, feasibility of resubmission, relationship to other legal rules). It also examines the implications of the distinction for the sequencing of arguments and allocation of procedural burdens. The lecture then proceeds to offer three possible conceptual frameworks to evaluate admissibility decisions – judicial propriety (or legitimacy), jurisdiction-regulation and effectiveness. The final part of the lecture describes certain trends in the case law of international courts on admissibility challenges and question the soundness and consistency of some of these trends.
