A few months back, Opinio Juris was pleased to host an inaugural joint symposium with the Harvard International Law Journal. Next week, we’re very pleased to be able to regularize this partnership with a second symposium (I’m particularly pleased with this development for reasons that should become apparent below).

with examples of how modern treaties are drafted. Thus, the last section of the book includes 350 treaty excerpts on 23 treaty topics ranging from how to deal with multiple language treaty texts to the use of simplified amendment procedures (for those looking for a longer introduction to the project, see here). Since the book is consciously treatise-like in its coverage, this symposium has opted for a slightly different format than the norm. In lieu of comments on the book’s thesis, over the next few days we will use The...27 May Symposium on the Law of the Sea and the Law of Responsibility
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...05 Sep Emerging Voices Symposium 2016 Comes to a Close
The summer is coming to a close and so is our fourth annual Emerging Voices Symposium. We have featured fantastic posts from emerging scholars, practitioners and students over the course of the summer and a roundup follows of what it is that they have covered.

09 Sep Contemporary International Criminal Law After Critique Symposium: Carceral Internationalism in the Situation of Palestine After Critique
international prosecution is sometimes seen as anti-human rights’. At the same time, to participate within the field of ICL today is to operate within a far more self-reflexive and circumspect anti-impunity space where ICL’s failings are readily acknowledged while often still called upon in a reconstructiveposture. In our recent symposium in the Journal of International Criminal Justice, we suggest that the field of ICL has not only moved beyond its inception phase, but is also beginning to emerge from its critical phase towards a ‘post-critical’ phase. By ‘post-critical’, we do...07 Feb Harvard International Law Journal, Vol. 52(1): Online Symposium
