[Julian Davis Mortenson is Assistant Professor of Law at Michigan Law.] I am most grateful for the thoughtful comments offered by Bart, Richard, and Ulf. Their observations are well-informed, generous, and extremely useful in advancing the conversation about treaty interpretation. So first and foremost, sincerest thanks to each of them. In my response, I hope (1) to clarify the question that seems principally at issue in the discussion so far, and (2) to suggest how the historical evidence helps answer that question. As Ulf rightly points out, the article’s aim...23 Nov Yale Journal of International Law, Vol. 33-2: Online Symposium

24 Sep Symposium on Protest and Legal Mobilization: Protest as Rule of Law Engagement – Reflections on Protest as Legal Mobilization
...frailty – and courage – in the face of oppression. One key difference, it seems, between the democratic and the human rights importance of bodily experience is the collective versus the individual focus: the human rights symbol is the individual’s experience of injustice and the emotional response it evokes is the indignation about the harm of a person. Rhetorically, this may make the emotional appeal of a human rights campaign stronger: it engages the human impulse to connect to a particular person. People might not have felt as strongly about...29 May VJIL Symposium: Andrew K. Woods Responds to Professors Baron, Haque, and Ohlin

09 May New Technologies Symposium: How Law and Autonomy (Should) Interact in War and Peace
book sets out an ambitious agenda – covering the role of new technologies not only in times of armed conflict, but also in civilian contexts. The underlying idea is explained in the book’s preface, namely to provide an inquiry into whether lessons can be learned in either realm for the other by examining modern technologies in these two quite different contexts. The editor realizes that a “blueprint that is capable of general application in all contexts” is too ambitious, but strives to nevertheless provide readers with “the relevant facts, rules and...05 Mar HILJ Symposium: International Versus Domestic Law: Supremacy, Surrender, or Co-existence?
This post is part of the Harvard International Law Journal Volume 54(1) symposium. Other posts from this series can be found in the related posts below. Ashley Deeks’ Article, “Consent to the Use of Force and International Law Supremacy,” is a deeply provocative and thoughtful work that makes two very important contributions to international legal scholarship. First, she exposes and explores a latent ambiguity in the role consent plays in the use of force context. Second, and more ambitiously, Deeks proposes invalidating consensual agreements to uses of force (and other...12 Apr VJIL Symposium: Sungjoon Cho Answers to Kelly, Shaffer, and Trachtman
