15 Feb Weekend Roundup: February 9-14, 2014
The heavy dumping of snow on the US East Coast made for a light dusting of posts this week.
Kevin found the ICTR’s recent acquittal of Augustin Ndindiliyimana after 11 years of pre-trial detention a stain on the tribunal’s reputation. He also was not convinced by Eugene Kontorovich’s use of Belgium’s extension of the right to die to terminally ill minors as an argument to attack on Roper v Simmons, and later replied to Eugene’s response.
For those hungry for more reading: Kevin recommended a post by Sergey Vasiliev on the relationship between Perisic and Sainovic while Julian recommended Stephan Talmon’s book chapter on the question of UNCLOS jurisdiction in Philippines arbitration against China, and Duncan announced the winners of the 2013 ASIL Certificates of Merit.
Finally, Jessica wrapped up the news and I listed events and announcements.
Have a nice weekend!
ICTR acquittal

@RB: thank you, it has now been corrected
@Thomas Welch: thank you for the link. Jessica only wraps up the news once a week, and this was published two days after that.
