11 Apr Three Cheers for José Alvarez and Lucy Reed
Carlos Espósito I would like to add a note of appreciation for José Alvarez, as he has tried to expand the conversation of the Society to other languages. We all know that this is a very difficult task, but as ASIL President, José Alvarez seemed to be convinced of the need of this kind of expansion -the translation of his columns into Spanish is a remarkable evidence. ¡Gracias!...01 Nov More José Alvarez on IO Responsibility
As I discussed in a recent post, I was fortunate enough to attend José Alvarez’s talk last week in Ottawa at the Canadian Council of International Law’s Annual Meeting. José has been kind enough to make the text of his talk available (see here or check out the ASIL President’s Page where it will be posted more permanently). It’s a stimulating, thoughtful, and often quite humorous take on the failings of the ILC in their recent efforts to use the Articles on State Responsiblity as the basis for formulating rules...09 Nov Jose Alvarez on the Internet, Blogging, and the Democratization of the “Invisible College” of International Lawyers
ASIL president Jose Alvarez has dedicated his monthly presidential column to the “revolution from below” that is radically transforming the “invisible college” of international lawyers. As Alvarez notes, the term “invisible college” was coined in 1977 by the late Oscar Schachter to describe “the ‘professional community’ of professors, students, government officials and international civil servants was capable, through ‘heterogenenity and representativeness,’ of balancing out ‘the particularistic influences’ of national biases to ‘avoid the misperceptions and omissions that accompany them.'” That world has changed: Today, there is little question that more...22 Nov The End of the Enemy Combatant Saga? Jose Padilla Indicted by Grand Jury
The Washington Post is reporting that Jose Padilla, the alleged dirty bomber held for three years as an “enemy combatant”, has been indicted by a federal grand jury for conspiring to commit terrorist attacks overseas. Interestingly, the indictment does not include the “dirty bomb” charges that were the basis for Padilla’s detention as an enemy combatant. The obvious reason for bringing this indictment is to avoid a coming showdown in the U.S. Supreme Court over Padilla’s detention. As a U.S. citizen, Padilla’s detention was probably going to be reversed by...02 Apr “50 Ways International Law Harms Us”: Not Your Typical ASIL Presidential Address
Word had it that Jose Alvarez would be not be offering up a conventional presidential address on Friday at the annual meeting of the American Society of International Law, and it lived up to the billing (good thing for the advance chatter; the general business session is usually skipable, unless you’re winning an award, although I hear things were also interesting at last year’s). Jose lamented the “rising smug level” among international lawyers, that self-congratulatory aura about us that roughly translates (in Jose’s description) to, “I’m an international lawyer and...10 Nov Guest Post: The South China Sea Arbitral Tribunal Finds that A White Horse Is Not a Horse–A Delimitation Exception Perspective
...solid argument against the Permanent Court of Arbitration’s jurisdictional ruling in the Philippines v. PRC maritime case.. PCA should read this. Jose Rizal I wonder the why the ccp don't send somebody to argue its stand on the matter. Quite suspect, I guess everybody would agree. Just a flick through this article - Entitlement and Delimitation are two (2) entirely different words. They are not the same, even the author shows this. What he is trying to argue is that the former is subsumed in the latter. Obviously so china...29 Sep Thanks to Jose Alvarez
On behalf of my co-bloggers, I want to thank Professor Alvarez for his recent spate of posts as a guest-blogger. I hope we can persuade him to revisit us in a few months to tell us what he does with his winter break....10 Jun Latin Lieber: Uncovering the History of the Treaty on the Regularisation of War
...Caracas, don Juan Rodríguez de Toro, y don Francisco González de Linares; y el excelentísimo señor Presidente de la República de Colombia, Simón Bolívar, como Jefe de la República, de parte de ella, a los señores general de brigada Antonio José de Sucre, coronel Pedro Briceño Méndez y teniente coronel José Gabriel Pérez, los cuales, autorizados competentemente, han convenido y convienen en los siguientes artículos: art. 1º La guerra entre España y Colombia se hará como la hacen los pueblos civilizados, siempre que no se opongan las prácticas de ellos...
