Dr. Squatrito鈥檚 lecture focused on the concept of performance of international courts (ICs), which provides a window into understanding effectiveness, while also capturing a wider set of concerns related to the functioning and effects of international adjudicative bodies. Drawing on methodological insights from political science, Dr. Squatrito discussed the ways in which the performance can be empirically studied and analyzed.
