Holiday Roundup: December 20, 2014 – January 9, 2015

This holiday season, we trust Santa was still as safe as back in 1961 and that nobody received a lump of coal. We found some time to post, so if you were too busy to visit our blog, here is what you missed.

Kevin posted about a virtual roundtable on David Bosco’s “Rough Justice” in which he participated over at H-Diplo, and linked to his new essay on the use and abuse of analogy in IHL. Deborah agreed with Cliff Sloan on the closing of Guantanamo. Catherine Harwood wrote about the UN HRC inquiry into human rights violations in North Korea and Larry Backer commented on the recent normalisation of US-Cuban relations.

Finally, I listed the events and announcements and Jessica wrapped up the international law news (1, 2).

Watch this space next week as we mark our tenth anniversary!

Many thanks to our guest contributors and have a nice weekend!
