15 Nov Symposium on Erin Pobjie’s Prohibited Force: The Meaning of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter
...my book observe, article 2(4) is foundational to the international legal order, yet its application is complex and necessitates a clear, adaptable framework for contemporary challenges. The destabilisation of the geopolitical landscape, including conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza and recent US political developments with far-reaching implications, underscores the urgent need to reinforce shared international norms. My curiosity about jus contra bellum, kindled by Noam Lubell and ignited by Claus Kreß, led me to examine the meaning of its central provision: the prohibition of the use of force in article 2(4)...03 Oct Book Symposium Investment Law: A Reply to Gabrielle Marceau

Footer is Professor of International Economic Law at the University of Notthingham, School of Law.] First of all my thanks to Freya Baetens and Opinio Juris for hosting the Book Symposium on Investment Law and for giving me the opportunity to post details of my chapter.

This week, we’re hosting a symposium on The Democratic Foundations of Policy Diffusion: How Health, Family and Employment Laws Spread Across Countries, a new book by Katerina Linos (Berkeley Law). Here is the publisher’s description: Why do law reforms spread around the world in waves? Leading theories argue that international networks of technocratic elites develop orthodox solutions that they singlehandedly transplant across countries. But, in modern democracies, elites alone cannot press for legislative reforms without winning the support of politicians, voters, and interest groups. As Katerina Linos shows in The...06 Jul LJIL Symposium Vol 25-2: Beyond Constitutionalism? – A comment by Daniel Halberstam
[Daniel Halberstam, Eric Stein Collegiate Professor of Law and Director, European Legal Studies Program, University of Michigan Law School. External Professor, College of Europe, Bruges] This post is part of the Leiden Journal of International Law Vol 25-2 symposium. Other posts in this series can be found in the related posts below.

Beyond...01 Feb Time for Richard Falk to Resign as U.N. Special Rapporteur?
...gaps and contradictions in the official explanations that David Ray Griffin (and other devoted scholars of high integrity) have been documenting in book after book ever since his authoritative The New Pearl Harbor in 2004 (updated in 2008).” In writing the above, Mr. Falk clearly asserted the existence of 9/11 “conspiracies,” and he unequivocally endorsed the notorious 9/11 conspiracy tract, The New Pearl Harbor as an “authoritative” book, and its author, David Ray Griffin, as a “devoted scholar of high integrity.” The main thesis of this book is that the...
