Abstract

With the increase in the common concerns and interests among states, the number of treaties regulating their relations is also in the rise. This has been compounded with the rapid proliferation of international courts and tribunals, posing the danger of a potential conflict among these numerous fora. The problem becomes much more imminent when the confrontation is between forums of mandatory jurisdiction, to which, the disputant parties have conceded. This article examines the situation as envisioned in the international environmental field and suggests the possible remedy to resolve the problems discussed

Keywords: compulsory dispute settlement, multiple fora, MEAs
