Once a case invoking IBOR guarantees has been brought and admitted at either Domestic or Regional Courts, or the International Court, oral argument shall be the norm and a transcript available to the public shall be made. The public and the media may attend. Regional Courts shall establish their own hearing procedures, but Chambers must be subject to review by three quarters of the Regional Court, randomly selected, if a majority votes to review the decision of a Chamber. Chambers of fifteen judges will hear cases before the International Court, fourteen of them randomly selected, along with the judge from the country in which the case arises. A Chamber’s decision may be reviewed by the full Court if a majority of the judges on the Court agrees to review it.

Transparency is a primary goal of IBOR. All court hearings, from the lowest court to the International Court, should be open to the public and the media, except in rare instances such as the protection of witnesses. Open hearings help provide this transparency.
