...hospitals, health centres, water points and systems as well as infrastructure vital to people’s livelihoods; in Myanmar, according to the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar (para. 175), and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) (here, para. 71; and here, paras. 104, 131) starvation has been used as part of the genocidal campaign against the Rohingya; and most recently in Tigray in Ethiopia humanitarian access violations are coupled with pillage, destruction of objects indispensable to survival and a communications blackout (as explored by Alex de Waal in this Symposium and...
05 Aug Symposium on The Principle of ne bis in idem in International Criminal Law: Inter-jurisdictional Rules in the Rome Statute
[Megumi Ochi is associate professor at the Graduate School of International Relations, Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto. The Premises of International Criminal Procedure: Identifying the Principles in International Collaboration (Springer, 2024) is the English translation of her second monograph.] I am honoured to be invited to this book symposium on this outstanding monograph written by my friend, Gaiane, on a topic that has interested me since my graduate school years. While I am not yet ready to publish the English translation of my first Japanese monograph on ne bis in idem in...08 Oct Quotable Quotes from the Fordham Law Review Symposium
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...
23 Dec Symposium on Classism and the International Legal Profession: Three Tactics against Classism in the Epistemic Community of International Law
...institutions whose doors are open to individuals truly from around the world would challenge and expand the limits of this college. However, neither Schachter nor Crawford offered a comprehensive account of the inner logic of this supposed college. Perhaps out of a sense of noblesse oblige or class solidarity, neither of them pondered over the essentially bourgeois character of the so-called college and its exclusionary tendencies. In this short contribution, in reaction to and inspired by reading and editing the pieces in this symposium, I will endeavor to discuss some...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. This statement arises as a corollary to the Council may interpret the meaning of “dispute” under...
02 Feb International Economic Law Symposium: Emerging Powers and the International Order–A Third World Critique
over the direction of legal scholarship. As such, we should commend those courageous enough to venture into unfamiliar waters. 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...25 Jul International Law in the U.S. Supreme Court
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on International Law in the U.S. Supreme Court, edited by Bill Dodge, Mike Ramsey and David Sloss. Mike has already described the book’s purpose and organizational structure in a post from this morning. My post focuses on some of the book’s overall strengths and perhaps weaknesses. Edited volumes are hard to do well, and are often little more than a hit or miss set of loosely connected essays. This book, by contrast, is extremely well-edited and the individual contributions are very carefully linked...
27 Nov ‘I Want to Put the Social Question Back on the Table’ – An Interview with Anne Orford
...and the lecture will try to perform it. [Taylor] Could you tell us how your recent research relates to this social question that you are trying to bring to the fore? I am thinking of your forthcoming book on international law and the politics of history, for example. This is going to make me seem like somebody who has a little bit lost the plot, but I promise it is true: I have three books on the way. That particular book, International Law and the Politics of History, was initially...26 Oct Book Roundtable: Ruti Teitel’s Humanity’s Law
I’m delighted to have been asked to participate in this discussion of Ruti Teitel’s Humanity’s Law. Let me start by simply saying what a great read this book is. Congratulations to Ruti on a book that really does shift our thinking about the base lines of international law, challenge conventional notions of a state-centric international legal system, and help make sense of the changes across a range of sub-fields in international law that all do more to privilege the individual. Ruti’s central claim is that there has been a move...
