simply fill in the right names. MS. MILLETT: I think - JUSTICE BREYER: There is never a case where this act would give immunity if the plaintiff has a good lawyer. Is that what you are saying? JUSTICE GINSBURG: Ms. Millett - MS. MILLETT: This act is good against - JUSTICE GINSBURG: -- I thought your point is, if the relief is against the state, it doesn't matter who you name as the plaintiff. MS. MILLETT: That - JUSTICE GINSBURG: Whether it's injunctive relief or money relief, if the relief...04 Jan Guest Post: Merry-Go-Round Justice–The Retrial of Stanišić and Simatović
...Putting aside these fiscal calculations, the Appeal Chamber’s decision seems to suggest (but neglects to reason) that due process considerations somehow also pointed inevitably to a retrial. Presumably, these include the rights of the accused and the witnesses and the interests of justice more generally. It is worthwhile examining those to gain a better view of the salient issues that constitute these (not mentioned, and apparently low priority) interests of justice. By 2020, Mr. Stanišić, whose original trial was plagued with ill-health and resulting delays, including findings of unfitness that...27 Jun Justice Scalia on Those “Sanctimonious” Europeans
...law if not in practice) by every country in the world except the US (before Roper) and Somalia. Now, I would think one can be a bit sanctimonious about that, but I'll try and resist the temptation. Regards, Marko Tobias Thienel I wonder if it is really a good idea for a judge to write this sort of thing. The tone certainly does not reflect too well either on the dignity of 'the honorable Justice' or, perhaps, the Court. Justice Scalia berates one of his colleagues on the Bench for...
07 Oct Rethinking International Law After Gaza: A Symposium and a Call to Action
...the role of international law in perpetuating injustice. Indeed, the contributions in this symposium are part of a larger project to mobilise legal scholarship in service of justice, but they must be accompanied by collective action. The fight for justice in Palestine is not just a regional issue; it is a global one that speaks to the heart of what international law should stand for. Together, we can push back against the forces of imperialism, colonialism, and racism and build a legal order that serves the oppressed while advancing the...

31 May Ensuring Respect for International Humanitarian Law – Opinio Juris Symposium
to fulfill the title’s goal. To this end, Opinio Juris is pleased to be hosting a symposium on the book in furtherance of the conversation on how to ensure respect for IHL. This symposium follows a webinar on the book hosted by the Irish Centre for Human Rights, which will be made into a podcast.

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. Thanks again to Tonya Putnam, Roger Alford, Jacob Katz Cogan and Nico Krisch for their thoughtful engagement with my book!...27 Sep HILJ Symposium: Ozan Varol Responds

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.”...17 Mar YLS Sale Symposium: Sale’s Legacies
...the Haitians’ claim. 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...
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. Our contributors in this symposium address some fundamental questions, such as the discussion regarding “peace v justice” in the context of Myanmar, where supporting the democratization process seems to have come at the cost of further marginalization...
