Patrick S. O'Donnell Thank you. One of my former teachers, Richard ('Dick') Flacks, who was among the founders of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and is now professor emeritus (sociology), is an authority on protest music (especially its folk variant).

O'Donnell Thank you.

I’ve been meaning to blog about the 33-year sentence that Pakistan recently imposed on Shakil Afridi, the doctor who secretly worked with the CIA to locate bin Laden. The United States is predictably up in arms over the sentence, with Leon Panetta recently claiming that “[i]t is so difficult to understand and it’s so disturbing that they would sentence this doctor to 33 years for helping in the search for the most notorious terrorist in our times… This doctor was not working against Pakistan, he was working against...08 Feb Global Convergence in Settlements (the Class Action Kind!)

Okay, not Saif Gaddafi. Saadi: Niger’s President Mahamadou Issofou has said his government is ready to hand Saadi Qaddafi over to the International Criminal Court should the body request it to do so. To date, the ICC has not issued a warrant for Saadi’s arrest, and will not request his extradition unless that position changes. On 7 November, however, the ICC’s Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda revealed that the court was investigating crimes allegedly committed by both Qaddafi regime members and revolutionaries during last year’s revolution, and may bring...27 Feb Whale Wars, Round II! U.S. Court of Appeals Issues Preliminary Injunction Against Sea Shepherd “Pirates”
...fleshed out. US v. Dire, 680 F.3d 446, 463 (4th Cir. 2012). In Dire, the 4th Circuit discussed extensively In re Piracy Jure Gentium, [1934] A.C. 586, where the Privy Council held that robbery is not an essential element of piracy. Along the way, the Privy Council cited approvingly language from other European sources stating that "private ends" required for piracy does not necessarily mean for "private gain," but could include sailing for "vengeance or for anarchistic or other ends." The 4th Circuit analyzed and essentially followed Piracy Jure Gentium,...03 Jan On Comment-Free Blogging (Updated)
...academic commentary then those which do not allow comments could be seen to be free-riding on the growing credibility that those which do allow comments are bringing to this form of scholarly dialogue. That people hide behind pseudonyms to publish comments they are too ashamed to have attributed to them is in my view where the true cowardice lies.

...Libertad is a warship and the flagship of the Argentine Navy. It alleges that, at the time of its detention, the frigate ARA Libertad was on an official visit to Ghana and that the Government of Argentina and the Government of Ghana had agreed upon the vessel’s arrival at the Port of Tema on 1 October 2012" Thus, even if the waiver applies, which it does not (I have read the brief from the judge of Ghana and it is far from correct on this point as it cites ramdon...23 Oct Actually, the United States Could Prosecute Ahmadinejad
Julian beat me to discussing Romney’s statement last night that, if elected, he would “make sure that Ahmadinejad is indicted under the Genocide Convention. His words amount to genocide incitation” (what we ICL scholars call “direct and public incitement to genocide”). I disagree with Julian, however, that Ahmadinejad could not be prosecuted in the United States. Pursuant to the Genocide Accountability Act, the United States has had universal jurisdiction over all forms of genocide since 2007. Here are 18 USC 1091(c) and (e): (c) Incitement offense.— Whoever directly...27 Apr ICC Watch: An Ugandan NGO Tells the ICC to Butt Out
...has arrogated itself the responsibility to judge the process of the peace talks.There have been accusations that although atrocities have also been committed by the UPDF, the ICC is going to investigate only the LRA. Based on the field work we have done, there are those who want Kony forgiven. There are those who say that justice is when all the people who are in the LRA are brought to justice irrespective of whether they are at the top or not. They make reservations for the children who were abducted...
