Given the ubiquity of tort law, the international press, including the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, and the New York Times inquired about possible ripple effects of the Shell judgement.

...injustice; violence and morality; nationality and citizenship; self-determination and legitimacy, responsibility and exceptionalism”. It explained that the conference and the book of its proceedings would be dedicated to Henry Cattan (1906-1992), a leading Palestinian international lawyer. When the call for papers was released, the working definition of antisemitism had yet to be adopted by the IHRA, nor by any British university. UK Lawyers for Israel did not exist.

Other posts in this series can be found in the related posts below. Jens Ohlin’s chapter in Targeted Killings, “Targeting Co-Belligerents,” provides an important analysis of one of the key questions in the targeted killing debate, and makes a persuasive argument in favor of one possible response to it.

International Environmental Law, Disciplinary Bias and Pareto Justice.” When invited to comment, I assumed...
