Search: Symposium on the Functional Approach to the Law of Occupation
22 Feb “Sydney District” in Karabakh: Do Illegal Settlers Have Property Rights under the European Convention on Human Rights?
believe that the drafters of the European Convention and the signatory states intended to extend the protections of Protocol No. 1 to illegal settlement projects under military occupation. Any recognition and enforcement of illegal settlers’ property rights would allow a wrongdoing state to avoid legal consequences and defeat the object and purpose of the European Convention. Thus, to be effective, the interpretation of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 in the context of military occupation should incorporate the principles of international law, international humanitarian law and the laws of war. ...

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.

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...

04 Aug Symposium on Ljubljana – The Hague Convention on Mutual Legal Assistance: Critical Reflections – Lessons Learned: Civil Society Engagement in Treaty Negotiations
potential passage of this treaty. This is problematic, as regardless of whether under UN aegis, the treaty process is nonetheless relevant as it has the potential to develop (or regress) international law. This may have also been one of the factors that resulted in less engagement of some states and civil society. In treaty negotiations, the role of states is obvious. But what is often overlooked is the role that other actors – civil society organizations (CSOs) – play in these law making processes. Per the rules of procedure of...15 Nov MJIL Symposium: A Response to Ilias Bantekas and Jens Ohlin by Darryl Robinson
