Welcome to Guest Blogger Professor Neomi Rao

Opinio Juris is pleased to welcome Professor Neomi Rao of George Mason University School of Law as guest-blogger for the next week. With the Syria crisis re-emerging as a possible flashpoint for military intervention, we thought it would be interesting for Professor Rao to discuss her recent work on the status and impact of the “Responsibility to Protect” principle that is forthcoming in the Columbia Human Rights Law Review.

Professor Rao teaches both constitutional and comparative law classes, and she has had wide experience at all levels of the U.S. government including clerking for the US Supreme Court, working at the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, and the White House Counsel’s office. We look forward to her posts on R2P, Syria, or any other subjects.  Welcome, Professor Rao!
