02 May Beyond Territoriality: Symposium on Jurisdictional “Hooks” for (Extraterritorial) Human Rights Obligations – Reflecting on the Regulation of Global Value Chains and the Duties of States and Private Actors
...to the different tiers of production/supply will depend on the particular mHRDD law in question. For instance, the German law imposes due diligence obligations only on covered companies and their direct suppliers in the first instance. In order for such due diligence to extend to indirect suppliers there must be ‘substantiated knowledge’ of violations. Ultimately, like the relational approach discussed more fully in Sara Seck’s contribution to this symposium, rather than drawing a hard line between territorial and extraterritorial obligations, due diligence terminology instead draws attention to the relationships that...
23 Jan Symposium: Internationalized Armed Conflicts—Four Concluding Thoughts
...a result, the ICRC was abandoning the use of the term “internationalized internal armed conflict”. Some of the criticism in this symposium shares the ICRC’s assessment that the term was “misleading” because, as Tristan had written, it “might seem to suggest that a single legal framework – the law of IAC – applies to such situations or that they constitute a third category of armed conflict for which the applicable legal framework is uncertain” (p. 1251). Perhaps paradoxically, I believe that these reasons are exactly why we do need the...
04 Mar Unilateral and Extraterritorial Sanctions Symposium: A Rejoinder – Part II
...within the United Nations for their negative impact on human rights. The next chapter addresses the issue from the now classic perspective of due process in the context of the implementation of unilateral and extraterritorial sanctions, and offers a rare comparative analysis between the US, the EU and the UK systems. Two other specific issues then appear. The first, mentioned by almost all contributors to this Symposium, concerns the humanitarian impact of unilateral and extraterritorial sanctions on the population of targeted states, and is of the utmost urgency. The second,...09 Oct LJIL Symposium Vol 25-3: Introduction
satisfactory tool at all to apprehend the profoundly collective nature of the acts? The articles therefore raise fundamental issues and we hope the articles, and the comments that have been kindly submitted, will spark the debate they deserve. As usual, as you eagerly wait for the next symposium, we invite you to discover the other articles of the current volume of the Leiden Journal, which includes a symposium on the uses of Foucault in international law and an hommage to the late Antonio Cassese in the form of a fictional...
08 Dec Introduction to the Symposium on Forensic and Counter-Forensic Approaches to International Law: A Cartography and Anatomy of Genocide
...the slow genocide unfolding in Gaza). Yet, as the incisive contributions to this symposium signal, it would be mistaken to portray the deployment of new digital and forensic technologies – from Earth observation and OSINT to remote sensing and computational photography – as a straightforward pathway to international justice, accountability or collective resistance. One strand of critique in this symposium questions the promise of forensic technologies to provide an unfiltered access to reality. As exemplified by the visual evidence conjured by the IDF to justify the bombing of Al Shifa...22 Jan Harvard International Law Journal/Opinio Juris Symposium for Volume 53(1)
