Hi, I am writing about amicus curiae briefs independently submitted to
international jurisdictions such as the ICJ; ICTY; ICTR; WTO; ICC;
etc.
It is very difficult to get a hold of such documents, but I found a
list for the ICTY and the ICTR. I would be prepared to spend USD 5 for
every amicus brief or order pertaining to such a brief that you can
send me in pdf or a word file. The link list seems to be old somewhat,
that is why I can't get access through the links mentioned to the
briefs or the request for leave, or the decisions of the tribunal
pertaining to such briefs.

At the ICTY the list is available at: 

http://www.law.mcgill.ca/justice/amicus-en.html

How can I get to the briefs and orders mentioned? can you send them to
me?

At the ICTR the list is available at:

http://www.law.mcgill.ca/justice/ac-tpir-en.html

The only one I have are the Petition and Appeal Brief of the ICDAA in
the Akayesu case Case. no ICTR-96-4-A

and for the WTO there has just been a request for leave by Canadian
Indians.

cf.:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20020430/ap_wo_en_bu/wto_canada_indians_1

can you find that request?

Dear Mistral:

Thanks for your question! All of the documents linked at the
law.mcgill.ca website are broken because of a problem with McGill
server. I have provided correct links to most of the documents below:


Here are all the corrected links from the page
http://www.law.mcgill.ca/justice/amicus-en.html:

On follow up, I have found two more amicus curiae briefs in
international courts. They are both human rights related:

The University of Minnesota has one filed to the Inter-American Court
of Human Rights:
http://www1.umn.edu/humanrts/iachr/B/9-esp-8.html

WebCom has one filed ot the Inter-American Commision on Human Rights:

I hope this information proves useful for you! =)

This is a great answer! Of course I need the briefs themselves and not
a page of the tribunal where it only refers to them. Therefore I gave
only 4 stars, but perhaps that is unfair, because it might be
impossible to find more - that is exactly why I asked... The answer
came very timely and it is of help to me to know that even a "google
expert" doesn't find more. It is particularly funny to see the
reference to http://www.law.georgetown.edu/iiel/amicuscuriae4.html
because I am the author of that web page and I will update it shortly.
This additional NAFTA and WTO links to amicus material were especially
nice of this expert. Thank you!
