stare decisis

 
     
  stare decisis


The principle that a court must apply the legal principle reflected in a decided case to other cases of the same character. The International Court of Justice, however, is not obliged to proceed on this basis. But its judgments naturally have a considerable persuasive character, both for itself and for states.
