The Eurasian Economic Union Court is a permanent court body of the Union. The Court has been established for the sake of ensuring the uniform application of international treaties and other binding international legal documents by the Eurasian Economic Union member states and agencies. EEU member states are encouraged to appeal to the Court if they believe an EEU agency has made a wrongful decision or other EEU member states fail to comply with the international agreements and documents, which are in effect in the integration association. Companies are also encouraged to appeal to the Court if they believe some EEU regulations negatively affect or violate their rights and legal interests.

The Eurasian Economic Union Court has been established in line with the Eurasian Economic Union Treaty of 29 May 2014.
