La crisi di legittimazione dei sistemi internazionali di soluzione delle controversie economiche nel contesto della “crisi” delle organizzazioni internazionali

The loss of legitimacy of international economic disputes settlement systems in the context of the “crisis” of international organizations The paper aims at framing the legal mechanisms that underlie the current crisis of legitimacy of international economic disputes settlement systems in the context of the broader crisis of international organizations, caused, among other factors, by the reemergence of nationalism. To this end, the author analyses the stall of the World Trade Organization Appellate Body; the jurisdiction of the EU Court of Justice as one of the factors of Brexit; some features of the Court of the South African Development Community; the South American crisis of the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes; the mechanisms provided by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement; the Court of the Economic Community of West African States and the East African Court of Justice. Then he proceeds to analyse some elements that counter runs the previous ones, such as the dispute settlement system of the Trans-Pacific-Partnership and the Investment Court System of the European Union, before drawing his conclusions.
