25 Oct International Law and Popular Culture Symposium: Introduction
decided to approach a series of like-minded scholars – those who had written threads on Queen and book covers, ranked sci-fi books, and generally, saw international law not just through the eyes of a scholar, but also, of a fan. This Symposium is premised on the idea that popular culture matters for the study, practice, and teaching of international law. International law aspires to be global and accessible, while pop culture is global and accessible: billions of people around the world engage with its products every day. By discussing popular...

08 Oct Symposium on Gender Representation: Time to Double our Efforts – New Report Creates an Exceptional Opportunity to Break the Glass Ceiling for Women in International Justice
stakeholders and getting them involved in promoting both formal and personal commitments is key to ensuring equality. Legal standards If the foundation of some of the policies, practices, and norms promoting gender equality was grounded in legal obligations, we would have a better chance of successfully changing the picture of women’s international representation. In this respect, as widely covered in this symposium, international law, monitoring bodies, and academics have helped analyze the scope of the legal obligations supporting equal access to international bodies. This task was also taken on by...04 Apr NYU JILP Symposium: Policing International Prosecutors Introduction

16 Apr Symposium on Confronting Colonial Objects: Introducing Debates
role of law and legal materiality. He makes a key point that international law is not only complicit in cultural takings , but ‘constitutive’ of coloniality’, and itself a ‘colonial object’. Sebastian Spitra raises the important question whether ‘the colonial and non-colonial sphere’ are really so ‘clearly separated as the approach of the book suggests’. He draws attention to inner European takings, which are partly discussed in Chapter 1, and the need to pay greater attention to ‘unwritten legal traditions of communities of origin’. Oscar Macias discusses the diverse ontologies...
12 Sep Contemporary International Criminal Law After Critique Symposium: embodied justice through praxes of abolition feminisms
privilege of losing hope.” Raya Ziada, Pikara Magazine 2024 We are grateful for the possibility to offer reflections on embodied justice through praxes of abolition feminisms, such as transformative justice, somatics, care and grief tending, as part of this symposium’s engagement with abolition and international (criminal) justice. In this piece, we discuss how we approach ‘after critique’ as a liberatory inquiry into how justice feels when it is embodied, and how we have sought to bring embodiment to international (criminal) justice work. We understand this liberatory inquiry as a tactic...01 Aug Opinio Juris Symposium: Introducing “The Constitution’s Text in Foreign Affairs”
can “define and punish” offenses against the law of nations. Read literally, that seems not to give the law of nations any place other than as Congress enacts. But founding-era Americans had a robust idea of the law of nations, so an abstract intent-oriented approach might instead think their Constitution embraced international law quite broadly. The historical text-based approach yields an intermediate position. The law of nations’ central place in founding-era thought suggests that it came within some of the Constitution’s general phrases. For example, Article III’s “judicial power” likely...
