 The realization of the old ideal of justice at international level has considerably advanced in recent years, with the operation of multiple contemporary international tribunals. The expansion of international jurisdiction advances pari passu with the expansion of international legal personality and responsibility. Contemporary international tribunals have much contributed to such expansion in all its dimensions. The co-existence of contemporary international tribunals is a phenomenon of our times, in this second decade of the XXIst century. Attention is turned, in a reassuring way, to the much-needed co-ordination and jurisprudential harmony, so as to enhance the access to justice lato sensu (that is, the realization of justice itself). This development brings to the fore the relevance of the general principles of law (prima principia) and discloses the unity of law: as from the idea of an objective justice, international and national jurisdictions work together in the realization of justice, to the ultimate benefit of the human person.
