Keywords:

The article is dedicated to the issue of role of international courts in international lawmaking process. The author studies the problem of recognizing international judicial bodies as international lawmaking subjects. She considers different scientific approaches to meaning of judicial decisions for lawmaking process in international law: from the classic understanding of them as subsidiary means for the determination of rules of law to a new vision of international courts’ judgments as international law sources.
Moreover, in the paper some international tribunals’ activity is considered and the international lawmaking capacity of their majority is stressed. The courts’ classification in the context of international lawmaking is also done.
