30 Jan Symposium in Remembrance of Judge Antônio Augusto Cançado Trindade: The Legacy of Antônio Augusto Cançado Trindade by Leonardo Nemer Caldeira Brant
To close this symposium on the life and work of Judge Cançado Trindade, the editors of Afronomicslaw, Opinio Juris and Agenda Estado de Derecho had the opportunity to interview the recently appointed and also Latin American Judge Leonardo Nemer Caldeira Brant in December 2022. The conversation focuses on the impact of Cançado Trindade’s scholarship, case law, individual opinions, and his legacy for international law. Also, the challenges he is facing as judge of the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

...a result of debts guaranteed by both products, Peru was forced to hand over to England the administration of its railroads; that is, the very key to the exploitation of its resources”. This is what Peruvians know about their ties with the UK. This is the history that young Peruvians read about in school, not books about a bear that likes marmalade sandwiches and his endearingly odd clumsiness. Mariátegui’s quote above, in fact, comes from a book frequently glossed with the phrase “the book that every Peruvian must read”. If...17 May Book Discussion “Outsourcing War and Peace”: A View from Practice
[Jeffrey K. Walker is Assistant Dean for Transnational Programs at St. John’s University School of Law] This is the third day in our discussion of Professor Dickinson’s book Outsourcing War and Peace: Preserving Public Values in a World of Privatized Foreign Affairs. Links to the related posts can be found below. With Outsourcing War and Peace, Laura Dickinson did a remarkable job canvassing an area of the law that has received a significant amount of attention and scholarship since the publication of Peter Singer’s landmark 2003 book, Corporate Warriors. Laura...11 Oct All Yoo All the Time (The Book)
Sorry to contribute to this phenomenon, but John Yoo’s new book War By Other Means: An Insider’s Account of the War on Terror is now out from Atlantic Monthly Press (not affiliated with the Atlantic Monthly, I was surprised to discover, though it’s something of an explanation), and shouldn’t go ignored. As signaled by the subtitle, this is not a book directed at an academic audience, and I’m not going to do the equivalent of a review here (I’ve collected some highlights after the jump). A couple of brief observations:...17 Oct Book Discussion Informal International Lawmaking: Legality and Normativity – A Reaction to Tai-Heng Cheng
[Ramses Wessel is Professor of the Law of the European Union and other International Organizations at the University of Twente] First of all many thanks to Prof. Tai-Heng Cheng for taking the time to respond so eloquently to the parts on legality and normativity in our book on Informal International Lawmaking. Because of his knowledge of the area (as for instance reflected in his excellent book When International Law Works), his comments are very valuable. In fact, the comments touch upon an essential debate that was started by the book,...29 Sep Book Discussion: Freedom from Religion by Amos Guiora
more light than heat and so we have put together a group of thoughtful commentators to guest with us for this symposium. Joining us for this discussion are Paul Cliteur, a professor of jurisprudence at the University of Leiden and the author of the recent book The Secular Outlook: In Defense of Moral and Political Secularism (Wiley 2010), as well as Peggy’s and my colleague Mark Movsesian, the Frederick A. Whitney Professor of Contract Law st St. Johns Law School and the founding director of the Law School’s Center for...

In Fall 2022 he will be the Samuel Rubin Visiting Professor of Law at Columbia Law School.] Boyd van Dijk’s “Preparing for War” offers a rich historical account of the drafting process of the 1949 Geneva Conventions which goes beyond the usual triumphalist rhetoric and uncovers the behind the scenes strategies, struggles and coincidences. The book significantly...
