08 Mar Jens Ohlin Posts Response to Ryan Goodman Paper on Capture Over Kill
otherwise known as Geoff Corn, Laurie Blank, Christopher Jenks, and Eric Jensen. (Follow links at this post by Bobby Chesney at Lawfare.) Kevin weighed in at Lawfare with a guest post of his own, and various of our longtime commenters, including John Dehn and Jordan Paust, have added thoughts here at OJ. Meanwhile, over at Lieber Code blog, Jens had been writing about this general topic for a long time, including talking about his forthcoming article, “The Duty to Capture” (which, as I suggested, perhaps merited a question mark in...08 Jul Guest Post: Henderson & Cavanagh on Self-Defense & The Privilege of Combatancy
...a pow, etc. [no] or required some special notice before being targeted [no] -- see http://ssrn.com/abstract=2459649 [an earlier draft is posted and the editors do not want me to post the present working draft, which has more U.S. cases] Jordan p.s. the S.Ct. case involved the state of Texas (no loss of citizenship, remained subject to U.S. laws). Jens Ohlin Jordan, why is an insignia not required? jordan First, I apologize Jens (for using "David" -- sounds like Mary Ellen?).

application of criminal law concepts in international criminal law, especially with regard to genocide, torture, joint criminal enterprise and co-perpetration, as well as the philosophical foundations of collective criminal action. His work has been cited by judges and litigants at several international tribunals, including the ICTY, the ICC, and the ECCC. He is also a member of an international working group, centered in The Hague, that is developing a codification of general rules and principles of international criminal procedure. Jens also runs his own blog, the excellent LieberCode. Welcome, Jens!...20 Apr Why Unilateral Humanitarian Intervention Is Illegal and Potentially Criminal
...Jens David Ohlin Kevin, Why the qualifier "potentially" next to the term criminal? It seems like your view is that it violates jus ad bellum and that there is no criminal law excuse for humanitarian interventions. Under what circumstances would you exclude criminal liability for aggression? Jens David Ohlin The L & T quote puts the disagreement nicely. They claim that international law affords no right of self-defense to local populations. I think it does when they are subject to an unlawful attack. Indeed, I find it a bit shocking...

According to the Sorcerer Supreme, he was supposed to be the best of all of us, the one who could shape the future in unexpected...30 Jul Emerging Voices: The Rights of Women in Armed Conflict
[Jens Iverson is a researcher at the Law Faculty of the University of Leiden.] Imagine there is a potential peace agreement that would end a civil war, but only at the cost of leaving portions of the country in question in the hands of a group that systematically violates the human rights women and girls. The government is backed by a foreign state who, in the past, effectively occupied the country. Some policy considerations are obvious – continued armed conflict can be devastating to most involved, but resolving the armed...05 May Book Symposium: Jus Post Bellum–Mapping the Normative Foundations

[Jens David Ohlin is a Professor of Law at Cornell Law School; he blogs at LieberCode.] In the following post, I want to explore why jus post bellum is controversial in some quarters, and why its legal content has not been more quickly or more wholeheartedly embraced by our legal system. Of course, the term jus post bellum is an expansive one, covering different legal and philosophical doctrines. Drawing my inspiration from the contributions in the new book edited by Carsten Stahn, Jennifer Easterday, and Jens Iverson (Jus Post Bellum:...01 Feb Go Read Jens’s New Book!
I am occasionally accused — correctly, of course — of using the blog as little more than a tool for shameless self-promotion. So it gives me great pleasure to use the blog as a tool of shameless other-promotion and announce the publication of Jens’s important new book, The Assault on International Law, now available from our friends at Oxford University Press. Here is the publisher’s description: International law presents a conceptual riddle. Why comply with it when there is no world government to enforce it? The United States has long...
