27 Jun YJIL Symposium: Hall and Weiss Respond to Comments on Avoiding Adaptation Apartheid: Climate Change Adaptation and Human Rights Law
for the thoughtful contributions from Bonnie Docherty, Tyler Giannini, Robin Kundis Craig, Siobhan McInerney-Lankford, and JB Ruhl, scholars who have shaped academic discourse around climate change and human rights. We also would like to thank Matt Christiansen, who organized this symposium for YJIL. We’ve enjoyed receiving these thought-provoking reactions to our article and believe they warrant at least a brief response. As we conceded in our introduction to this symposium, there remain significant challenges in addressing global issues such as climate change through a human rights framework. Nevertheless, we continue...

[Tamara Perisin is a member of the faculty of law at the University of Zagreb] This post is part of the Yale Journal of International Law Volume 37, Issue 2 symposium.

This week we are delighted to bring you a symposium exploring the intersection between the law of responsibility and the law of the sea. The motivation for this symposium is twofold: First, although there is long interaction between the law of the sea and the law of responsibility, the law of the sea has become an area where the intersection is of increasing importance. The posts this week will highlight the ways in which the law of responsibility is being invoked in current controversies involving marine species and resources like...16 Jan Asia’s Ambivalence About International Law & Institutions: Introduction to Opinio Juris and EJIL:Talk!
