Along with Julian, I had the good fortune to participate in a symposium last week at Fordham Law School on “International Law and The Constitution: Terms of Engagement.” Details about the symposium are available here. The Fordham Law Review will devote a symposium issue to the conference in the near future. Here are a few quotes from the symposium: The strongest response that can be made to those who challenge violations of the laws of war by the Bush Administration is that these same voices were silent when the laws...

de Derecho, one of Latin America’s leading online portals. The Symposium kicks off today, with a post from Professor Hélène Trigroudja, published in French, at Afronomicslaw, highlighting the contributions of Judge Cançado Trindade, both in the bench and as an academic, to transform procedural and substantive norms as tools, not barriers, for victims to access justice.

24 Jan International Law’s Invisible Frames Symposium: A Call for Critical Self-Reflection
in particular the reading provided by Saba Mahmood and Talal Asad, can enrich our understanding of what international lawyers do. One of the curiosities of international law is that it does not work independently from politics and economies, and yet we teach it as if it does. As Ana Luísa Bernardino (chapter 16) points out, textbooks shape what counts as international law and what should be excluded. Although it is artificial, when we follow textbooks as we teach, we have a tendency to separate international law from other fields. This...29 Mar Symposium: Kanwar Reply to Murphy
be referred to the International Court of Justice (p. 13), “non-adjudicatory dispute resolution is (and should be) the far more dominant approach”?” I am not sure if this is another disagreement about wording, or the surface of a more substantive difference. When I say these disputes should “generally” be referred by the parties to the International Court of Justice, I am not concerned with the desirability of a “dominant” approach but the “authoritative” approach.
