Foreword
ads:
“It is signicant that, in a multicultural world, endeavours are undertaken to resolve
disputes peacefully and on the basis of the rule of law. The expansion of international
jurisdiction in the contemporary world strengthens the instruments of International
Law in face of the challenges affecting the whole of mankind in domains such as
the preservation of peace, human rights and environmental protection, sustainable
development, population, international criminal justice, and the peaceful settlement
of disputes.
I am honoured to have been nominated a candidate for election to the International
Court of Justice. I am fully aware of the challenges faced by the international
community today, and I am prepared to place my expertise and experience at the
service of the International Court of Justice. In the course of more than three decades,
I have closely followed the great issues of our times, and I have dedicated my entire
professional life to the prevalence and evolution of International Law.
I served as Judge in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights for 12 years, and as
its President for half a decade. Throughout this time I was in close contact with the
distinct legal systems of the countries of the American continent and the Caribbean.
As a scholar, I have published over 30 books and over 450 articles in different
languages and countries all over the world. My sustained links with The Hague,
through the Hague Academy of International Law, go back to 1971. I rmly believe
that my knowledge and experience, gathered in the multicultural environment where
I have been working, are suitable tools that enable me to contribute to the work of
the International Court of Justice in the preservation of peace, the development of
International Law, and the realization of international justice”.
Introduction
“I am very pleased to introduce Brazil’s candidate to the International Court of
Justice, Professor Antonio Augusto Cançado Trindade.
In my professional life, especially as Minister of External Relations, I have had
the opportunity to witness Professor Cançado Trindade’s committed, innovative,
passionate, yet judicious approach towards Human Rights. These qualities allowed
him to achieve remarkable progress in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights,
where he served as judge from 1995 to 2006, and to which he was twice elected
President (1999-2001; 2002-2003). I can also testify to his highly accurate legal
expertise, as he served as Legal Counsel to the Ministry of External Relations of
Brazil for ve years (1985-1990).
Brazil’s commitment to International Law has always been one of the foundations
of our international political action. It was through International Law and arbitration
that our borders were settled. Since Brazil’s participation in the Hague Peace
Conference, in 1907, the principle of legal equality of States has been at the heart of
our efforts to make international institutions more democratic. Brazil has traditionally
contributed to initiatives seeking to develop and uphold the international legal
order, including through the presence of Brazilian judges and experts in organs
such as the International Law Commission, the International Criminal Court, the
Inter-American Court of Human Rights and the International Court of Justice itself.
I am convinced that strengthening international justice is an indispensable step in our
commitment to multilateralism. The International Court of Justice will continue to have
an essential role to play in an increasingly integrated and complex global system.
I truly believe that Professor Cançado Trindade’s exceptional qualities as a jurist and
as a humanist, consolidated in a career of relevant contributions to the development
of International Law and to the promotion of international justice, enable him to
meaningfully contribute to the work of the ICJ. That is why I feel honoured to ask all
members of the United Nations to support his candidacy.”

International Law can recognizedly be achieved only on the basis of
pluralism, mutual respect for cultural diversity, and the pursuance of

the aspirations of humankind’.
