Abstract

To what extent can the ancient Greek experience be used to understand the system of peaceful settlement of disputes in current international law? This work tries to recover the normative experience of the Pylaeo‐Delphic Amphictyony in classical times (5th-4th Centuries BCE) to illustrate the foundations, the utility and the benefits of resorting to institutionalized jurisdictional means of dispute resolution. At the crossroads between interstate law and Panhellenic religion, on the one hand, and between the Amphictyonic decisions and domestic justice of poleis, on the other one, the Greek example under analysis allows us to alert about the political use of contemporary organizations, the diplomatic manipulation of their organs and the significant role of leagues in terms of obtaining prestige and hegemonic consecration.
