Japanese term

「『賢慮』の一端

Japanese to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. Philosophy of International Law
しかし同時に、英国(と西ドイツ)がアイスランドの五〇海里漁業水域は違法・無効であると訴えた一九七四年の漁業管轄権事件判において、ICJが「国際法に則ってイギリスの主張に軍配を挙げながら、他方で漁業権益をめぐって交渉することを求めたこと」を「ルールに基づく判断を下したうえで、現実的な妥当性を確保する途を示した」と評価し、「紛争解決を目的とする裁判所は、単に法を適用するだけでは満足しなかったことが重要」であり、ICJが払った「『賢慮』の一端」と紹介した.

My draft translation so far:
At the same time, however, in the case of the Fisheries Jurisdiction Cases of 1974 in which England (and West Germany) argued that the unilateral extension of the exclusive fishing rights to Iceland were illegal and invalid, the ICJ evaluated that “even though according to international law England was in the right, on the other hand accepted to negotiate fishing rights” was “a judgment issued based on rules, and served purpose of finding a workable solution” … “it is important that the court, whose objective was to resolve disputes, was not content to simply apply law” thus introducing “portion of 'deference'” that was directed by the ICJ.

But what is this 「『賢慮』の一端?

Thanks,

Your draft translation says "....ICJ evaluated..." But my feeling is that the text appears to present the author's opinion, rather than the ICJ's. Good luck!

Selected

an example of the court's discretionary practices

Literal translation of 賢慮 as each character implies is "wise" and "thoughtfullness".
However in this case, the court demonstrated its discretion, which is also an act of judicial wisedom, which is also a political consideration (what else it can be?).
When I checked definition of "discretionary" here:

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=discretion

Please note that "discretion" or "discretionary" is highly legal term, so I think this is not too off the mark.

Please also consider this that I read 一端 "an example of something". Not necessarily "a part of --" (although could be just as good).

a piece of wisdom

How about "a piece of wisdom"
一端 means "a piece of".
賢慮 means "wisdom".

agree Kazuo SAWADA : I think this is the right translation.

"pretty good (wise)idea" or "enough polite reference to another's consideration"

I think

thus introducing "pretty good (wise)idea" or "enough polite reference to another's consideration"

賢慮 (けんりょ) means a wise idea or in other words polite reference to another's consideration
一端 (いっぱし) means competent, enough, pretty good, fair

Peer comment(s):

neutral humbird : 一端 is not (いっぱし), correct way to read is いったん。いっぱし is entirely different thing.

part of due consideration

一端means 'part' and 賢慮means 'due consideration' or 'wise consideration.' I think 'due consideration' fits in your particular case.

(a piece of) jurisprudence

ドイツ語 のJurisprudenz、フランス語 ・英語 のjurisprudenceは、ローマ法 におけるiuris prudentia(法の賢慮)という表現に由来する。
http://www.dict-keyword.com/16/7035.html

Etymologically, per the American Heritage Dictionary, jurisprudence is the English for jurisprudentia. This is the Late Latin form of a compound word, originally juris + prudens (a contraction of providens, from the verb providere, "to provide"). The best English definition of jurisprudentia is probably "[abstract] legal knowledge."

To discreminate from modern meaning of 'jurisprudence', the Latin term 'jurisprudentia' might be better.
