Natalie Lockwood holds a J.D. from Harvard Law School, 2011; and an A.B. from Princeton University, 2006. This post is part of the Harvard International Law Journal Volume 54(1) symposium. Other posts from this series can be found in the related posts below. First of all, let me begin by thanking Professor Burke-White for his careful reading and thoughtful response. I’m honored that someone whose own work I admire so much has taken the time and effort to engage with my article. I am also grateful to Opinio Juris and...30 May VJIL Symposium: Introducing “Carving Out Policy Autonomy for Developing Countries at the World Trade Organization”
[Alvaro Santos is currently an Associate Professor of Law at the Georgetown University Law Center.] This post is part of the Virginia Journal of International Law/Opinio Juris Symposium, Volume 52, Issue 3. Other posts in this series can be found in the related posts below. I would like to thank the Virginia Journal of International Law for the invitation to participate in this online symposium and to Opinio Juris for featuring my article and hosting this discussion. In “Carving Out Policy Autonomy for Developing Countries in the World Trade Organization:...13 Apr Call for Papers: Hidden Histories of War Crimes Trials

I’m delighted to call readers attention to a symposium next week on my friend Itamar Mann’s new book, Humanity at Sea: Maritime Migration and the Foundations of International Law, which was just published by Cambridge University Press. Here is the 411: This interdisciplinary study engages law, history, and political theory in a first attempt to crystallize the lessons the global ‘refugee crisis’ can teach us about the nature of international law. It connects the dots between the actions of Jewish migrants to Palestine after WWII, Vietnamese ‘boatpeople’, Haitian refugees seeking...
27 Oct International Law and Popular Culture Symposium: International Law and the Theatre – An Interview with Playwright Anchuli Felicia King
[Anchuli Felicia King is a playwright, screenwriter and multidisciplinary artist of Thai‑Australian descent, whose plays have previously been produced at the Royal Court, Studio Theatre and Sydney Theatre Company.] In a symposium about international law and popular culture, it would be remiss for us at Opinio Juris not to solicit contributions from the other side of the divide – that is, from those making said “popular culture” and how they perceive the relationship between their art and international law. For this blog post, we conducted an interview with Anchuli Felicia...03 Nov Virginia Journal of International Law, Vol. 50-1: Online Symposium
The Virginia Journal of International Law is delighted to continue its partnership with Opinio Juris this week in this online symposium featuring three pieces recently published by VJIL in Vol. 50:1, available here. On Wednesday, Professor Alexander K.A. Greenawalt, Associate Professor of Law, Pace University School of Law, will discuss Complementarity in Crisis: Uganda, Alternative Justice, and the International Criminal Court. Professor Greenawalt examines the difficult institutional problems faced by the International Criminal Court (ICC or Court) in the context of the Ugandan peace process. In recent years, the government...
07 Sep Symposium: The 2nd Revised Draft of a Treaty on Business and Human Rights–Moving (Slowly) in the Right Direction
...ICJ has convened the blog symposium that starts with the present blog. Having a well-structured and conceptually coherent draft is an essential component of an international negotiation, but it is not everything. Like its predecessor, the 2019 Draft, the 2020 Revised version of the treaty is a positive step that contains welcome improvements that could be debated in a substantive intergovernmental negotiation. But, it is well known that so far there has been limited amount of negotiation among a critical mass of States, with some of what has taken place...
03 May Soldier Self-Defense Symposium: Self-Defense in Armed Conflicts–The Babel Tower Phenomenon
means that the overlap between self-defence and IHL is greatly reduced compared to the “jus ad bellum approach” under (a). For instance, the use of force by an enemy combatant in an international armed conflict is lawful and therefore the use of force in response would only be governed by IHL; the criminal law concept of self-defence cannot justify the use of force in response. It is however unclear whether the same is true in relation to the use of force by a civilian directly participating in hostilities or a...
18 May Symposium on Systemic Racism and Sexism in Legal Academia: (Not) Only Men on the Walls
[Chris Carpenter is a lawyer and researcher in international law. She holds a J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School and a master’s from the University of Cambridge.] This piece is about imposter syndrome, which I encountered in beginning my master’s at the University of Cambridge. When I submitted an abstract for this symposium, countless memories spanning almost a decade in higher education sprung to mind: sexual harassment from faculty, the blatant sexism of an interviewer when applying to law school, the experience of sitting in constitutional law classes...28 Jun YJIL Symposium: Howse and Langille Respond to Comments on Permitting Pluralism
clarify our claims. We have also had the benefit of their own thinking and writing on this case in preparing our article. Finally, we would like to thank YJIL for organizing this Symposium. Response to Professor Perisin: Professor Perisin first suggests that the aim of the EU seal products ban is to protect the fox and mink industries within the EU. This raises the issue of how one ascertains whether the aim (or motive) of a measure is protectionist for purposes of WTO law. It would be helpful to understand...
