Krisch’s challenge to my heuristic of dividing up the functional roles ICs play, which also returns to Alford’s critique of my decision to discuss ICSID under the rubric of administrative review. I want to end by thanking An Hertogen and Sadie Blanchard for organizing this joint symposium, and Opinio Juris and EJIL: Talk! for hosting and coordinating. It is the very first written feedback I am receiving on the book.

terminology to transitional variables that offer more promise in explaining the occurrence and outcome of these multidimensional events that tend to defy neat legal categories. Professor Landau’s response raises another salient question that I am exploring in a forthcoming article titled The Military as the Guardian of Constitutional Democracy, 50 Colum. J. Transnat’l L. __ (forthcoming Summer 2013). In his response, Landau argues that “contrary to much of the recent foreign policy debate, it is not always true that the optimal level of military involvement in politics is no involvement.”...
24 Aug Symposium on The Impact and Implications of International Law: Myanmar and the Rohingya–An Introduction
potential implications – in regard to international law, and, more importantly, upon the situation of the Rohingya themselves. The symposium we have curated at Opinio Juris, in coordination with the Asia Justice Coalition, seeks to highlight some implications of these international legal proceedings, and the issues that need further examination, strategizing and advocacy.

Justice Stevens found his own ruling deeply in tension with the spirit of the treaty, but curiously, instead of reading that text consistent with that object and purpose, Justice Stevens found instead that, although “the human crisis is compelling, there is no solution to be found in a judicial remedy.” Internal Court memos unearthed after Sale show that Justice Scalia had objected to the Court’s mere mention of “the moral weight” of the Haitians’ claim, saying “For my taste, that comes too close to acknowledging that it...

10 Apr Symposium on Dominic Ongwen Case: Four Approaches at the “Centre” of Reparations in the Case of Dominic Ongwen
in this symposium, and in the ASF et al amicus submission, victim-centred approaches to justice and reparations must ensure that active and inclusive participation by victims is ‘adequate’, ‘effective’ and sustainable. Thus, as the Chamber noted, consultations and outreach activities should be designed to take into account the victims’ needs, ‘including sensitivities associated with sexual violence’ and different ‘obstacles that victims may face in coming forward (para. 64). In the Ugandan context, ensuring an effective, victim-centred approach to reparations will be a difficult, time and resource-intensive process. The necessary exclusion...10 Apr LJIL Symposium: The Idea of Justice in International Criminal Law
