[Katerina Linos is an Assistant Professor of Law at Berkeley Law] I am very pleased that Pierre Verdier, Harlan Cohen, and Roger Alford are offering the closing comments in the symposium on The Democratic Foundations of Policy Diffusion. Of Pierre Verdier’s multiple contributions to the study of international networks and international economic law, I’ll single out his article “Transnational Regulatory Networks and their Limits,” as it is especially relevant to today’s discussion. In this piece, Pierre Verdier argues that Transnational Regulatory Networks may be ill-equipped to deal with the distributional...
29 Mar Book Symposium: Justice in Extreme Cases–Criminal Law Theory Meets International Criminal Law, by Darryl Robinson
We’ve got yet another great symposium coming your way this week, this time featuring a discussion on Darryl Robinson’s latest, Justice in Extreme Cases: Criminal Law Theory Meets International Criminal Law, (Cambridge, 2020). From the publisher: In Justice in Extreme Cases, Darryl Robinson argues that the encounter between criminal law theory and international criminal law (ICL) can be illuminating in two directions: criminal law theory can challenge and improve ICL, and conversely, ICL’s novel puzzles can challenge and improve mainstream criminal law theory. Robinson recommends a ‘coherentist’ method for discussions...10 Apr LJIL Symposium: The Idea of Justice in International Criminal Law

01 May Beyond Territoriality: Symposium on Jurisdictional “Hooks” for (Extraterritorial) Human Rights Obligations – Human Rights Relationships Across Borders in the Triple Planetary Crisis
...would avoid framing these scenarios as raising extraterritoriality concerns, and instead adopt terminology that draws attention to the relationships at issue, such as ‘transnational’ regulation. After all, transnational or multinational corporate enterprises are not typically described as extraterritorial corporations. As explored by Caroline Omari Lichuma in this symposium, the relational approach extends well to human rights and environmental due diligence legislative initiatives. Moreover, it could inform the reach of corporate due diligence understood as a direct obligation under international law, as advocated in this symposium by Gamze Erdem Türkelli. Questions...23 Mar LJIL Symposium: The Debate Continues at ASIL on March 30, 2012!
