10 Oct Rethinking International Law After Gaza Symposium: Containing Liberation – The Transitional Justice Industrial Complex in Palestine
...Edward Said (1984) highlighted in his famous treatise ‘permission to narrate,’ the theme that sets the parameters of this symposium. Richard Falk, former UN Special Rapporteur, noted that: ‘Part of the Palestinian tragedy… is that others have again and again presumed to talk on behalf of the Palestinian people… these alien voices have consistently overridden Palestinian voices on the basis of geopolitical calculations and Orientalist thinking’. With its ‘fundamentally liberal… origins’ (p. 265) TJ provides the perfect linguistic apparatus of colonial control and containment. Although there has been a burgeoning...04 Mar HILJ Symposium: Volume 54(1)

[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

Jens advances an important clarification that...23 Mar LJIL Symposium: The Debate Continues at ASIL on March 30, 2012!

[Darryl Robinson is an Assistant Professor at Queen’s University, Faculty of Law] This post is part of the MJIL 13(1) symposium. Other posts in this series can be found in the related posts below. I am delighted to participate in this online symposium, this time at the receiving end. The emergence of online symposia is a commendable innovation which I am eager to support. When academic conversation is carried out through journal articles, the rhythm is glacially slow. Years pass between argument, counterargument and response. Online symposia provide a rapid...
