Sameera Daniels I would say, based on my conversations with George Kennan & Samuel Huntington, that some foreign policies have been constituted from non state actors, at least increasingly, because of the democracy promotion efforts as well as human rights/humanitarian agendas. The competition for their ideas and observations has been intense; and parallels the state of the media environment which is continuously in search for new content. So I'm not so surprised that such a search would reflect in the QDDR and other think tank reports I've come across. It's...

...sure the editors here would be happy to entertain your all-encompassing analysis. Kevin Jon Heller "Where was Amnesty International when the Yazidis were massacred and their women raped?" If you used this magical thing called "google," Kumar, you would have been able to find out all by yourself that AI was busy writing endless condemnations of ISIS's treatment of the Yazidi...

Grow up...

...to prevent the worst mass-murder in Canada's history. One might argue that the terms of reference are improperly framed. As I reported by the BBC, they are: (1) to determine how nine Turkish activists died after their ship was boarded by Israeli commandos; and (2) whether the blockade is lawful under international law. One might argue that the tribunal, as constituted, lacks sufficient powers to discharge its duty or afford interested parties procedural fairness. Is it able to subpoena documents and examine witnesses? Are interested parties able to examine witnesses...

...Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Uganda under Idi Amin. The late Harvard Law Professor C.Clyde Ferguson, Jr. (then the US Ambassador to Uganda), having been made aware of Idi Amin's threats to kill the Chief Justice whisked the Chief Justice into the trunk of a US embassy car and had him spirited to the border in the diplomatic vehicle. When the Ugandan border guards wanted to search the car, Ferguson asserted the diplomatic nature of the car to block the guards from opening the trunk. If Chen, through...

...broad research agenda for me. Sam Morison First, I agree that the relevant offenses aren't strictly limited to aiding the enemy per se. I meant that a looser sense of any factual allegations that might reasonably fit the material support paradigm. Violations of the rule of non-intercourse were construed quite broadly and, as you know, the offense was often charged as simply "violation of the law of war." I think you have to actually read the specifications, which as you suggest complicates matters. So, in terms of methodology, it seems...

According to a China Daily report, all death-penalty appeals in China will be held publicly as of July 1, 2006. The move, initiated by the Supreme People’s Court, is designed to decrease the number of wrongful convictions by making the appeals process more transparent. Under Chinese law, city-level intermediate courts initially hear cases that could lead to the death penalty. Provincial-level high courts then hear any appeal that is made, whether by the defense or by the prosecution. The new law affects the high courts, some of which — those...

...other than many everyday African citizens’ desire to hold their elites accountable, a task thwarted by the Court’s 2014 decision to grant immunity to all African heads of state and other senior government officials) – Distant Justice addresses all of the other features of modern African states that Clarke ascribes to the neo-colonial framework. Some aspects of my critique of the ICC undoubtedly resonate with neo-colonial accounts, especially the Court’s attempts to limit the scope for African societies to determine, on their own terms, how best to address mass crimes....
