weapon of war, massacres of women, men, and children, and mass displacements are characteristic of neocolonial armed conflicts in regions such as Amhara, Cabo Delgado, central Somalia, Khartoum, North Kivu, and Tigray. Our aim with this symposium is to foster a diverse dialogue that illuminates the connections between African and Palestinian liberation struggles, advancing our collective understanding and pursuit of justice and human dignity globally. The symposium is divided into two parts. Part I, which begins on 29 July 2024, opens with David Arita, who highlights the relevance of the...

...readers to the works of Akinkugbe, Anghie, Miles, Perrone, Sattorova, Sornarajah, and many others (Afronomicslaw is an excellent source of material on the debate). We also showcase the Symposium we launched today. Three months ago, we invited scholars to contribute to a discussion on FDI in Latin America and the Caribbean. We raised the concerns detailed above: while we acknowledge that FDI can play a role in fostering development in host states, we wondered about the regional Economic Commission’s verdict: “there is no evidence to suggest that FDI contributed to...

...can have implications for whose voices are heard (or unheard) during the OSINT process and through open source evidence. This symposium delves further into these issues and more, with a stellar line-up of pieces on a wide range of topics pertaining to fairness, equality, and diversity relating to open source investigations and digital open source evidence.   Each day of the symposium will feature posts relating to a common theme. Today, we begin with a theme at the heart of the symposium—the lived experiences of marginalized voices working within the OSINT...

better forum than Opinio Juris to conduct this exercise. As has been pointed out, the conceptual book on IN-LAW is, together with a case study book, the result of a two-year research project sponsored by the Hague Institute for the Internationalization of Law (HiiL). From the kickoff onwards, the project has emphasized the importance of addressing questions of accountability, effectiveness and the tensions that may exist resulting from the operationalization of these concepts. We would like to chip into the discussions and respond to some issues raised with regard to...

the book that Marty criticizes is not, as he suggests in a good-natured attempt to defend me from my own work, the predations of a publisher keen to sell more books. It is, rather, the core of the book, from which the rest sprung. The book began with an essay in Policy Review a year ago dealing with judicial review and the war on terror–precisely the section of the book that Marty and Deborah now regard as most problematic. The effort to flesh out that essay led me to the...

[Paul B. Stephan is the John C. Jeffries, Jr., Distinguished Professor of Law and David H. Ibbeken ’71 Research Professor at the University of Virginia School of Law.] I applaud Anupam Chander for picking a great subject for his book. New communications technologies have transformed the way we deliver services by radically lowering the cost of dematerialized, long-distance transactions. The resulting explosive growth of cross-border sales of services is one of the most significant aspects of the modern global economy. There are, of course, a host of books about the...

[Rachel Brewster is Professor of Law at Duke Law] One of the many virtues of Eric Posner and Alan Sykes’ new book, “Economic Foundations of International Law,” is that it provides the reader with a theoretically coherent and consistent overview of important international treaty regimes, substantive international rules, and state enforcement practices. The book is a lucid introduction to international law for students and also contains sophisticated analysis of the dynamics of international legal systems for academics and international lawyers. A major theme of the book is that state compliance...

to OJ readers that they read it for themselves. It is a greatly provocative book, with a writing style that Tom has honed over decades to be at once highly readable, never dull and never turgid, but which also invites provocative responses; the response might be misplaced, I grant. But I leave that to OJ readers to figure out. The book is a great read, and Tom, my thanks for taking part in the discussion with me here. You’ve persuaded me – against my better time-management judgment, I might add!...

1901-1945 time frame. Here’s a quick description of the project as a whole: From its earliest decisions in the 1790s, the U.S. Supreme Court has used international law to help resolve major legal controversies. This book presents a comprehensive account of the Supreme Court’s use of international law from the Court’s inception to the present day. Addressing treaties, the direct application of customary international law and the use of international law as an interpretive tool, the book examines all the cases or lines of cases in which international law has...
