Abstract

Currently, there are a number of problems of legal norms in the work of international judicial institutions, which are considered in this study. The object of scientific research is the legal basis for regulating the accountability and responsibility of officials of international courts and tribunals. The subject of the study is a general overview of the issues of accountability and responsibility of officials of international judicial institutions, and especially judges. The author examines in detail the existing problems of legal norms related to the above issues. The paper defines the terms "responsibility", "accountability", "official", examines the existing types of responsibility of officials of international justice bodies, procedures for bringing to justice. В  Accountability of officials of international judicial institutions is extremely important, since international courts and tribunals in their activities often exceed the powers provided for them, introduce new "norms" of international law that contradict generally recognized norms, and sometimes the Statutes of these institutions. The paper also presents options for possible solutions to problems, in particular, the author suggests working out a transparent legal mechanism for holding officials accountable, providing the general public with access to statistics on the effectiveness of judges of international courts and tribunals, and continuing to further improve the "transparency" of both the judicial process and all activities of international judicial institutions.
