EU's Impact on International Law Development
Teresa Vieira da Silva Cabrita delves into the narrative of the EU's distinctive role in international law development, originating from Article 3(5) of the Treaty on European Union and rooted in the 1970s and 1980s. Her project explores this narrative through three lenses: the constitutional perspective of Member State delegations, the judicial perspective of individual judges, and the international perspective of EU lawyers at global organizations.
Her project seeks to uncover the EU's unique objective in shaping international law and examining how this narrative unfolds internally through constitutional and judicial actions and externally through the involvement of EU actors in international organizations.
