Summary: | Born as an institute of common law, estoppel was introduced in\nInternational Law through the awards of British and American umpires in the 19th\nand 20th centuries. Later on picked up ?implicitly or explicitly? by the PCIJ and the\nICJ (Serbian Loans, Legal Status of Eastern Greenland, Fisheries, and Northern Sea\nContinental Shelf, amongst others), it has become a peremptory objection frequently\nasserted. However, the International Court does not seem to have been able to specify\nits constituents, thus leading to an inconsistent interpretation of both silence and the\nso-called detrimental reliance as well. The resultant uncertainty brings doubts as to the\nvery existence of estoppel as a rule of International Law. Fil: Vassallo, Federico Julián. Universidad de Buenos Aires. Facultad de Derecho; Argentina Nacido como instituto del common law, el estoppel fue introducido en el\nDerecho Internacional a través de laudos de árbitros británicos y norteamericanos en\nlos siglos XIX y XX. Recogido luego ?implícita o explícitamente? por la CPJI y la CIJ\n(Empréstitos Serbios, Estatus Legal de Groenlandia Oriental, Pesquerías, Plataforma\nContinental del Mar del Norte, entre otros), se ha convertido en una defensa perentoria\nde frecuente invocación. Sin embargo, la Corte Internacional no parece haber sabido\nprecisar sus elementos constituyentes, derivando en una interpretación inconsistente\ndel silencio y de la denominada detrimental reliance. Esto ha generado una incertidumbre\nque ha puesto incluso en duda la misma existencia del estoppel como regla del\nDerecho Internacional. |
