Search: Affective Justice: Book Symposium: A Response
11 Mar Bradley Book Symposium: David Moore comments on Treaties
these topics and the sometimes unsettled questions they present, the discussion reveals an unspoken theme only partially captured by the book’s title. Given its focus, the book is appropriately titled “International Law in the U.S. Legal System,” but the treatment of international law in U.S. law reveals that the interaction between U.S. and international law is not unidirectional. International law affects U.S. law, even U.S. constitutional law, but U.S. law also affects international law. On the incoming side of the relationship, international law produces a range of effects on the...08 Feb On Is International Law International? ‒ Where Next?
[Paul Stephan is the John C. Jeffries, Jr., Distinguished Professor of Law and John V. Ray Research Professor of Law at the University of Virginia.] First a disclosure. I have cheered on this project since Anthea Roberts began working on it. We, along with Pierre Verdier and Mila Versteeg, have collaborated on a book of essays as well as an American Journal of International Law symposium that explores the concept of comparative international law across many dimensions. I read earlier manuscripts with interest and enthusiasm. I am, in short, as...
02 Oct Trump vs. International Law: He’s Not Winning
[Harold Hongju Koh is Sterling Professor of International Law at Yale Law School. He returned to Yale in January 2013 after serving for nearly four years as the 22nd Legal Adviser of the U.S. Department of State.] The editors of the rebooted Opinio Juris 2.0 and the International Commission of Jurists are most gracious to hold this impressive symposium on my new book, The Trump Administration and International Law (Oxford University Press 2018). I especially thank my good friend Kevin Jon Heller, who cheerfully looks past our occasional substantive disagreements...31 Oct The Nuremberg Military Tribunals and the Origins of International Criminal Law
parents. Intellectually, though, the book is profoundly indebted to Telford Taylor, without whom the trials would not have achieved the success that I believe they did. Taylor always intended to write a book about the NMTs, a sequel to his seminal work The Anatomy of the Nuremberg Trials. Unfortunately, at the time of his death, Taylor had completed only three chapters. I regret that he was never able to finish his book; I’m sure it would have been superb. It is my profound hope that he would have been happy...13 Mar Cheng Book Roundtable: When International Law Works – but for whom?
not a comprehensive review, but rather a series of brief and impressionistic observations about particular aspects of the book. I have chosen to address some of the fundamental assumptions from which the thesis proceeds, and to raise some questions about them, in the knowledge that this will be followed by posts from others, including responses from the author, which provide an opportunity for my views to be challenged and supplemented by comments on different aspects of the book. Tai-Heng Cheng makes his argument in the context of certain recent US...25 Jun Linos Book Symposium: Comments by Ryan Goodman
and cited drafts of the book manuscript in my own work; included excerpts of Linos’s earlier research in a textbook that I co-edit; and blurbed the back of the book with immense praise. Against this backdrop, I want to interrogate a specific part of the book—the chapter on the United States—and, in particular, Linos’s theoretical account of her political opinion experiments. Indeed, this is the key part of the book that tries to get “inside the minds” of individuals and understand the mechanisms for influencing their policy preferences. The experiments...08 Aug The Problem with Peru’s Armed Conflict Debate: Some Comments On My Recently Published Book
A few weeks ago I presented my book on the Peruvian armed conflict at FIL, Lima’s International Book Fair. The book, “Conflicto Armado en el Perú: La Época del Terrorismo bajo el Derecho Internacional” (“Armed Conflict in Peru: The Times of Terrorism under International Law”), published by Universidad del Pacífico Press, explores how politicized misinformation on the conflict’s history has tarnished the concept of international humanitarian law both in Peru and the broader Latin American context. Before I explain why, though, lets backtrack a little bit. What is the Times...
