Steinitz on the Public Adjudication of Corporate Atrocities Torts

Maya Steinitz has posted to SSRN Back to Basics:  Public Adjudication of Corporate Atrocities Torts.  The abstract provides:

The editors of this symposium invited me to contribute on the subject of an argument I have recently advanced that the world needs a permanent International Court of Civil Justice (ICCJ) to adjudicate cross-border mass torts. A common reaction to this proposal has been to suggest that the function of such an international court be assumed by one of the existing arbitration institutions or filled by a new one. I’d like to take this opportunity to argue against that idea.
