Unpaid Internships at International Courts and Tribunals: An Instrument in Expanding the Gap between the North and the South

Abstract

In this article, I have tried to look into how unpaid internships to three international Courts, namely, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), International Criminal Court (ICC), and International Tribunal for Law of the Sea (ITLOS), forms the part of larger neocolonial global order and has a role in shaping the future of international law. I attempt to answer whether the internship in these International Courts and Tribunals (ICTs) affects the quality of international lawyers coming from Global North and Global South.
