Recent high-profile cases show that defiance of the International Court of Justice's provisional measures has become the norm, rather than the exception. Most commentators argue that this is because the ICJ's orders are essentially unenforceable. But this is not quite right. In this piece for EJIL:Talk, I argue that third states - countries that are not parties to an ICJ case - can use countermeasures (things like trade sanctions or travel bans for officials) to induce compliance with provisional measures. https://lnkd.in/gASP7KxP
