264) Yet, they do not overstate this point. After all, the Andean Tribunal of Justice has been effective in only one issue area, intellectual property rights. Unlike the bold, purposive and consequential decisions of the European Court of Justice, the decisions of the Andean Tribunal of Justice on intellectual property rights are more restrained, predicated on formalist reasoning and “highly repetitive, even formulaic.” (page 276) In so doing, the Andean Tribunal has avoided direct confrontation between the Tribunal and Andean governments whose political leaders have the last word on Andean...03 Oct Now on Video: “Two Justices, Two Lords and a Lady”
Foscote should respond. The low point was Dean Kagan’s self-congratulatory introduction of the panelists (2nd minute, Real Player) in which she noted that with the appointment of Chief Justice Roberts a majority of the justices are now Harvard Law School alums, so Harvard can “win every case.” Oh please. I suppose she inadvertently failed to mention that by her count white male Republicans win every case too. There were numerous highlights. The first was Justices Scalia’s and Breyer’s discussion of the judicial role. Scalia suggested (25th minute) that Chief Justice...
11 Sep Contemporary International Criminal Law After Critique Symposium: Transformative Justice – Abolition and International Criminal Law
...made us consider abolition and carceralism in news ways. It made obvious the expansive networks of global carceralism, and therefore the need for global carceral abolitionism. During this time, I was finalising my manuscript for a book which considers the rights of the accused in international criminal law and procedure. In this book, I am explicit about a desire to strengthen international criminal law (ICL) through critically questioning but ultimately improving its processes. This was a view I had held since my practice as a defence lawyer at the International...

stressed the importance of ending impunity “as part of a comprehensive approach to seeking sustainable peace, justice, truth and national reconciliation.” This resolution affirmed the primary responsibility of States to investigate and prosecute crimes occurred in their jurisdictions, reflecting the recently adopted principle of complementarity, underlying the ICC regime. Indeed, this approach represented a shift in expectations: from a period where the implementation of international humanitarian, criminal and human rights law was led by international institutions to a time where national systems of justice are increasingly expected to provide more...06 Apr Events and Announcements: 6 April 2022

Justice O’Connor’s views on international law and foreign law are moderate, well-reasoned, and consistent. Julian points out two quotes and implies that, somehow, they don’t fit together in a “[]satisfying” world view. I disagree. On topics of international law, Justice O’Connor has consistently held that U.S. judges should, in certain instances, give persuasive authority to international tribunals. It is also her view that they do not have to do so as no international or foreign tribunal has been given judicial authority by the Constitution. It is not necessarily a view...04 Apr Have You Worked in a Post-Conflict Justice Setting?
