Moreover, Buser’s intervention is both theoretically and methodologically valuable for TWAIL. In his book, he applies the theory to IR and to IL in novel ways. In Buser’s response to my comment—forthcoming at the end of this symposium on his book—I hope to hear some reflections on his use of TWAIL and how it helped advance his own scholarship. Where Buser falls short is at the same location that many critical...14 Jul Reply by Gregory S. Gordon: On the General Part, the New Media and the Responsibility to Protect
