Abstract. The growing fragmentation
of international law reveals important
contradictions in legal development,
concerning the role and importance of
universal values, standards and their legal
interpretation. In the light of such phenomena
as cultural diversity, legal asymmetry,
methodological relativism and political
confrontation between diff erent global regions
and super-powers, the idea of independent
and neutral international jurisprudence
seems to be the more idealistic than realistic
description of the current international
relations. The concept of cognitive justice
proposed a new ground for the search of
more representative, stable and evidencebased
judicial interpretation exploring
language as a tool for legal communication.
In this framework, the author debates the
role of international courts as cross-cultural
mediators, legal and institutional factors of
their cognitive and political neutrality as well
as their potential in the establishment of a new
worldwide consensus on the agenda of global
constitutionalism.
