Zwischen Dogmatik und Rechtspolitik – Die Interpretationsentscheidung des Internationalen Gerichtshofs im Fall Temple of Preah Vihear

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) successfully resolved a long-standing territorial dispute over the Temple of Preah Vihear, balancing legal doctrine and geopolitical considerations. Its 2013 judgment interpreted its 1962 decision on sovereignty between Cambodia and Thailand, averting potential escalation into conflict while maintaining the integrity of prior rulings. The ICJ framed its political role as a tool for international peace, grounded in consistent jurisprudence. This approach underscored the court's ability to navigate complex disputes through rigorous legal analysis, reinforcing its position as a key arbiter in global conflicts.
