Competing jurisdiction is a relatively new but increasingly important phenomenon in international
law. The ongoing proliferation of international courts and tribunals results in a multiplication of
judgments and arbitral awards, which potentially conflict with each other. The case studies examined
in this working paper illustrate the methods applied by various courts and tribunals to deal with
competing jurisdictions. Since any formal hierarchy or coordination between the various international
courts and tribunals is lacking, only soft law methods, such as the application of comity, in particular,
the Solange method, appears to be a useful tool to deal with the negative effects associated with competing jurisdictions.
