Other posts in this series can be found in the related posts below. I want thank Andrew Woods, the Virginia Journal of International Law, and Opinio Juris for the opportunity to respond to such a rich and provocative Article. I could probably write 600 words on any single section of Andrew’s paper, but for present purposes I’ll confine...06 Apr Symposium on the Financing of International Terrorism
In case anyone is interested in the latest efforts to combat the financing of terrorism, I wanted to let you know that I will be moderating a panel tomorrow on this topic.

03 Aug Complementarity, Catalysts, Compliance Symposium: Introduction to the Forum
...and of compliance as complementarity’s principal mission. Ten years later, the picture that has emerged is far from what I – and perhaps many ICC supporters – had thought. But this is a necessary reckoning: it is an invitation to think differently about what the ICC can do, what we can fairly ask of it, and its role in an international and political landscape that remains in enormous flux. I am delighted that the contributions to this symposium are an opportunity for continued reflection on these critical and complicated issues....29 May VJIL Symposium: Jens David Ohlin Comments on “Moral Judgments & International Crimes”
[Jens David Ohlin is an Associate Professor of Law at Cornell Law School; he blogs at LieberCode.] This post is part of the Virginia Journal of International Law/Opinio Juris Symposium, Volume 52, Issue 3. Other posts in this series can be found in the related posts below. Andrew Woods has done an admirable job tackling a truly foundational issue: the normative basis for punishment in international criminal law. This issue has engaged my thinking as well, and Woods is to be congratulated for moving the ball forward and asking the...
11 Nov Symposium on Erin Pobjie’s Prohibited Force: Toward a Higher Level of Analytical Clarity – An Introductory Reflection on Erin Pobjie’s ‘Prohibited Force’
...not make the bold assertion that the use of her methodology will yield incontrovertible results in all possible instances. More modestly, but probably more realistically, she claims that it provides a shared language and coherent framework for legal analysis and scholarly debate regarding the content of a prohibited ‘use of force’ between States under international law. In that vein, her carefully worded conclusion on page 232 reads as follows: ‘The framework of type theory has the potential to facilitate clearer analysis of “uses of force” between States. It is...
03 Aug Complementarity, Catalysts, Compliance Symposium: The Spectrum of Ideologies in International Criminal Justice–From Legalism to Policy
...justice scholarship already, including Sarah Nouwen’s book Complementary in the Line of Fire, Carsten Stahn and Mohamed El Zeidy’s edited volume The International Criminal Court and Complementarity, and articles by Kevin Jon Heller (see here and here) and William Schabas. De Vos’s book ultimately succeeds in this endeavour by grounding his engagement with the question of complementarity in a novel perspective, namely, by examining the multiple socially constructed meanings of complementarity and their respective implications for building domestic criminal justice systems. The goal of this brief contribution to the symposium...05 Apr NYU JILP Symposium: The Rhetoric of Remedies
[Kevin Jon Heller is currently Associate Professor & Reader at Melbourne Law School.] This post is part of the NYU Journal of International Law and Politics Vol. 45, No. 1 symposium. Other posts in this series can be found in the related posts below. I appreciate the opportunity to respond to Jenia’s excellent article. I always learn from her scholarship, and this article is no exception. That said, I find myself in an unusual quandary. When asked to critique an article, I normally take issue with its substance. There is...23 Sep Book Symposium: Cyber War and the Question of Causation
Thanks to Kevin Govern and Duncan Hollis for providing the two previous posts (here and here) in this book symposium on Cyber War: Law and Ethics for Virtual Conflicts. In my post, I want to explore the difficulties arising from causal investigations in cyber attacks. Everyone knows that the increasing threat of cyber attacks will place immense pressure on the operational capacities for various intelligence and defense agencies. Speak with anyone in military operations (from several countries), and their lists of security concerns are remarkably similar: Russia, ISIS, and cyber...
