		By examining the case of the amicus curiae more closely, however, it becomes clear that it need not serve as further evidence of the erosion of sovereignty; to the contrary, one can view these developments as confirming sovereignty’s continuing vitality.
		Even where the participation is limited to an amicus role, international tribunals have looked to their constitutive instruments to determine whether the states that created those instruments either expressly or tacitly authorized them to involve private actors in the proceedings.
