Max Planck Encyclopedia of International Procedural Law
The Max Planck Encyclopedia of International Procedural Law (MPEiPro) is an online encyclopedia dedicated to international procedural law. It is published under the direction of Prof. Hélène Ruiz Fabri, Director of the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg for Procedural Law and Head of the Department of International Law and Dispute Resolution. MPEiPro is peer-reviewed and published by Oxford University Press. It was launched online in September 2019.
Description[edit]
MPEiPro covers international procedural law, including the procedure of decision-making by international organs. The Encyclopedia also extends to non-adjudicatory modes of dispute settlement and institutional decision-making processes. Besides law, the entries integrate insights from history, philosophy, sociology, international relations, and anthropology.
Structure[edit]
MPEiPro was released with about 200 entries in September 2019. These entries cluster around fourteen themes: ‘Institutions’; ‘Procedures’; ‘Composition’; ‘Participation’; ‘Organisation of proceedings’; ‘Jurisdiction’; ‘Evidence’; ‘Decision-making’; ‘Review’; ‘Enforcement’; ‘Cooperation’; ‘Ethics’; ‘Theory’; and ‘History’.
Formally, MPEiPro entries are subdivided into six categories, two of which are comparative in nature.
- System-specific entries analyse particular issues or sets of issues within a single international legal system or legal procedural system.
- System entries deal with an institution or procedure in their entirety, as opposed to a single issue.
- Family-specific comparative entries analyse a specific issue in a comparative manner, within the bounds of a family of legal systems, when such a restriction appears to be methodologically appropriate or heuristically advantageous.
- Historical entries devote attention to sometimes forgotten historical institutions or projects, and failed institutions whose failure is source of experience.
- General comparative entries are in principle all-encompassing in terms of system coverage.
- Theoretical entries are sites of conceptual clarification and philosophical inquiry, and gateways to interdisciplinary exploration.
