The CAVV deals with legal questions in cases which centre on the interpretation of international law and the perceived need for such law to be developed. It publishes advisory reports at its own initiative or at the request of the government or parliament, and presents them to the House of Representatives and the Senate. See for further information the website of the CAVV.
