Hey guys,
For Human Rights there is a dot point for the role of courts, tribunals and independent. I get that the courts covers the ICJ, ICC and ECtHR, while the tribunals cover all the cases prior to the ICC's establishment. However, I've got no clue as to what 'independent' means? The Cambridge textbooks seems to skip it entirely. At first I thought that the Human Rights Committee was an example, but I've seen many notes online and in the ATARNotes book and they seem to class the HRC as a statutory authority instead, which is a different dot point. Any help as to what 'independent' means in the syllabus would be great.
Thanks
EDIT: I've referenced my Legal Excel book for this first time this year
Anyway, it merges independent and statutory authorities into one heading, which just adds to the confusion. If they're the same thing then why are they classed under different dot points?
