10 Apr More on the Inherent Right of Self-Defense
...crime requires only basic intent -- is illegitimate? If one believes in the natural law, as you do, surely voluntariness is a requirement for criminal responsibility that cannot be eliminated by legislative or judicial fiat. Yet that is exactly what Majewski does. Adil Haque Hi Jens, So, on your view, the words "if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations" do not limit the inherent/natural right of legitimate/self-defense, correct? Many thanks, Adil Marko Milanovic Hi Jens, Your question is very similar to the one raised famously...19 Oct Weekend Roundup: October 12-18, 2013
This week on Opinio Juris, Tomer Broude completed his trilogy on behavioral international law. Also continuing from last week was Carsten Stahn’s rejoinder to Harold Koh on intervention and the use of force, and Jens Iverson’s guest post highlighting the underlying commitments of Professors Stahn and Koh. We also published guests posts by Faiza Patel on the OPCW and by Adam Steinman on this week’s SCOTUS oral argument in Daimler v Bauman. Of our regular bloggers, Deborah disagreed with Jack Goldsmith on the rarity of capture operations overseas, but outlined...11 Jun An Open Letter to the Israeli Government Condemning Annexation [Final Update]

The Great Definitional Debate over Jus Post Bellum
Carsten Stahn, Jennifer Easterday, and Jens Iverson’s new edited collection Jus Post Bellum: Mapping the Normative Foundations is a terrific contribution to the Jus Post Bellum field. The 26 chapters (one authored by myself) address a range of central issues, including interrogating the structure, content, and scope of the three separate pillars of jus / post / bellum. While the contributing authors reveal some fundamentally different and even opposing views on the essential building blocks of the enterprise, this discord is a sign of the area’s salience. The chapters in...05 May Jus Post Bellum Symposium: A Normative Critique of Jus Post Bellum in International Law
[Eric De Brabandere is Associate Professor of International Law at the Grotius Centre for International Legal Studies and a Member of the Brussels Bar.] My contribution to Jus Post Bellum: Mapping the Normative Foundations, edited by my colleagues Carsten Stahn, Jennifer Easterday and Jens Iverson critically examines the usefulness and accuracy of jus post bellum (JPB) as a legal concept and argues that the concept presents either a challenge to the objectivity of the post-conflict phase or simply brings together already existing obligations. It also questions the oft-heard underlying assertions...08 May Jus Post Bellum Symposium: In Defense of a Central Role for Sovereignty in the Jus Post Bellum Conversation
[Dov Jacobs is an Assistant Professor of International Law at the Grotius Centre for International Legal Studies, Leiden University and comments on international law issues at Spreading the Jam.] Carsten Stahn, Jennifer Easterday and Jens Iverson have edited a comprehensive and rich volume on the law applicable in the aftermath of conflict, also known as Jus Post Bellum. This book covers a number of key areas on the timing and scope of jus post bellum, as well as timely discussions on the various bodies of law that might be relevant...09 Nov Weekend Roundup: November 2-8, 2013
...and non-self-executing treaty was also misunderstood. Should an international treaty ban “killer robots”? Ken, in a WSJ op-ed with Matthew Waxman, argued that it should not . From killer robots to drones: Deborah was worried about reports that the migration of targeting operations from the CIA to the Pentagon has stalled. The recent drone reports by HRW and AI were criticized by Jens Iverson who examined whether members of armed groups can be targeted and by Michael W. Lewis who argued that significant flaws undermine the reports’ objectivity and overall...
30 Oct Third Annual Symposium on Pop Culture and International Law: An Introduction
...continues with Cláudio Cerqueira Netto’s exploration of nationalism and the law of the sea through the prism of Brazilian samba. (This combo will not only make perfect sense when you read it, it is also great, we promise!) The day then closes with Jens Iverson’s exploration of international criminal law in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and his demand of #JusticeForThanos. On Wednesday, we open with Jonathan Hafetz’s analysis of the classic Judgment at Nuremberg and the challenges of portraying international criminal trials on film. Then, Lia Harizanova and Ameyavikrama Thanvi...
