Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper applies and augments theories about treaty ratification and recognition of other international courts to explore why states voluntarily recognize and withdraw from the jurisdiction of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. 24 of 35 OAS states have recognized the Court, but two have withdrawn and Venezuela has threatened to withdraw. Using statistical analysis and case studies, the paper tests whether factors such as cheap talk, coercion by a hegemon, institutional or economic incentives, democracy, recent democratization, or type of legal system have an impact on which states recognize the Court. The same factors, along with non-democratic regime changes, internal conflict, and types of cases before the Court, are applied to the decision to withdraw or remain under the Court’s jurisdiction after recognition. Results indicate that civil law legal systems and new democracies are more likely to recognize the Court, raising questions about whether the system can integrate stable democracies in North America and the English-speaking Caribbean. The finding with respect to recent democratization supports Moravscik’s theory that these states may seek to “lock in” democratic reforms through recognition of a regional court. However, the case studies suggest that non-democratic regime changes after recognition significantly increase the likelihood of withdrawal and indicate mixed results for the Court’s ability to “lock in” reforms, in part because of the voluntary nature of its jurisdiction. Implications for the European Court, which has expanded into new democracies in E. Europe, and the forthcoming African Court are drawn from the results.
