Органы международного правосудия в интеграционных системах современного мира
This article continues a series of modern theoretical developments in the field of legal problems of integration of states. At the same time the study proposes to address the current problems of integration from a new side and to consider in detail the contribution of international courts to the strengthening of integration processes. For these purposes the authors generalize and systematize the conceptual apparatus of "integration law", sometimes contradictory and controversial. Thus the article emphasizes that not every form of international cooperation of states can be qualified as integration. A distinctive feature of an integration association is functioning of a unique court, which competence includes, first of all, interpretation, including prejudicial one of the agreements and treaties of these associations, as well as the resolution of disputes between states and bodies of these associations.
The influence of the Court of Justice of the European Union on integration processes is studied in detail. The article highlights the trends of judicial practice and the most significant legal positions of this body of international justice. Bypassing the too ambiguous question of whether this court is a "Constitutional court of Europe" the authors conclude that European law (both in general and its principles and individual areas of regulation) was formed under the influence of the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union.
The article also emphasizes the significant potential of the Court of the Eurasian Economic Union in strengthening the "Community law" and promoting its uniform application. The authors of the study do not aim to compare this court with the justice bodies of other integration associations and proceed from the fact that the Court of the Eurasian Economic Union has its own original way of development.
Finally this article provides the reader with an overview of an integration justice system in Latin America and Africa. Unfortunately, these international courts often are not in the focus of scientific interest of Russian scientists, while integration processes are developing very fast on these continents. In a similar way authors attempted to analyze in the development of the case-law of Latin American and African international courts, the main legal principles and legal ideas guiding these bodies of international justice.
In conclusion findings are made about efficiency of courts of integration associations in general.
