maybe one sees this trend in the us mostly because lawsuits are common practices there. but the 'global' trend seems to me to be more a focus on human rights 'without a border' (that is courts recognizing that human rights have some kind of priority over state sovereignty) than on litigation (for the sake of litigation).
