MTO Court
The MTO Court, officially the Common Court of the Micras Treaty Organization, is an international court of justice established by the Convention on the Establishment of a Common Court. It is part of the Micras Treaty Organization system. Known as the Commonwealth Court before the MTO renaming from Small Commonwealth, it is, since 1705, headquartered in Vesüha, Hurmu.
Judges on the Court are called jurists. The Convention requires three jurists sitting together when judging a case. The current jurists are Malik Farhaani, Horie Zenko, and Qerelzhan Shagul.
For a while, the MTO Court was inscribed in the General Membership Treaty with jurisdiction to solve disputes under that Treaty, but this was removed a little bit later. As such, the MTO Court, today, has jurisdiction only over matters arising under the Convention on the Establishment of a Common Court, the Micras Intellectual Property Protection Act, and such matters that States agree to bring to the Court. As such, the court acts more like a court of arbitration.
