European Nuclear Energy Court
The European Nuclear Energy Court is an international court established under the auspices of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
history
The European Nuclear Energy Court is based on the Convention on the Establishment of a Safety Control in the Field of Nuclear Energy , which was passed on December 20, 1957, and therein on Article 12 and the supplementary agreement on the establishment of a court .
The signatory states were Belgium , Denmark , the Federal Republic of Germany , France , Ireland , Italy , Luxembourg , the Netherlands , Norway , Austria , Portugal , Sweden , Switzerland , Spain , Turkey and the United Kingdom .
After the Convention came into force on July 22, 1959, judges were appointed for the first time on January 1, 1960.
The court was originally supposed to deal with disputes between the signatory states and the Nuclear Energy Agency in dealing with nuclear energy , insofar as they relate to the security agreement of 1957, as well as the Paris Agreement on Third Party Liability of July 29, 1960 and the Brussels Supplementary Agreement of January 31, 1963. Since the Monitoring of the non-disclosure of radioactive material was taken over by Euratom and the International Atomic Energy Agency in the 1970s , the scope of duties of the European Nuclear Energy Court has been narrowed down considerably and has since been limited to disputes arising from the application of the Paris and Brussels agreements.
The court has not yet met in over fifty years of existence.
organization
The OECD has decided rules of procedure for the Court on 11 December 1962nd
The court has seven judges and elects a president from among its number. The judges are each appointed by the OECD for five years, with the countries of origin rotating. If, in the event of a dispute, an affected state is not represented in the college of judges due to the rotation, then the latter can appoint a further judge for this case.
The seat of the court is at the place of the OECD in Paris in the castle La Muette .
The German lawyer Armin von Bogdandy has held the presidency since 2006 .
