ABSTRACT
This research focuses on ascertaining whether the existence of international courts threatens the sovereignty of national courts, with special focus on the Ecowas Community Court of Justice (ECCJ) and the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). The research is inspired by the dumbfounding decisions of the said international courts meant to be bound on Member States that acceded to treaties of the tribunals’ establishment. The researcher restricted the scope of study to the jurisdictions of Sierra Leone and the Republic of Cyprus. The research reveals that the appointment and removal of Cypriot judges are stringent as compared to the that of Sierra Leonean judges. Further that whiles proceedings can be stayed in the Cypriot Supreme Constitutional Court and interlocutory issues referred to the CJEU for preliminary rulings, the opposite is untrue for Sierra Leone. This is however not a bar to the binding effect of decisions of ECCJ and CJEU on Sierra Leone and Cyprus respectively. The researcher adopted the desk review qualitative methodology in developing this body of research. Both primary and secondary sources of data were utilised.
