Institutional Matters
As a starting point, it is clear that a body administering a court or tribunal should have a mission statement and/or strategic plan. It is also clear that a body administering a court or tribunal should be established according to rules set out in a statute or treaty. The statute or treaty should provide for: the jurisdiction and status of the institution; the hierarchy and employment status of its administrative officers and employees; as well as fundamental matters of governance, including the organisation of the body’s financing.
