Judicial Diplomacy
摘要
Judicial diplomacy, distinct from judicial communication, encapsulates the interactions and relations between domestic and foreign courts, fostering legal integration, trust-building, and the exchange of best practices. Despite the conventional separation of powers in liberal democracies, judicial diplomacy highlights the essential role of judges beyond their courtroom duties. Judges, guided by international legal instruments such as the UN Basic Principles on the Independence of the Judiciary and the Bangalore Principles, possess the right to freedom of expression and association while maintaining impartiality.
