There are moments when the international legal order reveals itself not through its rules but through the violence done in its name. Today’s expanding doctrine of self-defence—invoked with increasing ease, justified with decreasing care—is one such moment. It is tempting to read this as an unravelling, a slide into disorder. Yet what is unravelling here is not only the legal threshold for self-defence, but the authority of states to render violence intelligible as lawful at...

This post argues that the ECJ's duty to give specific reasons when declining a preliminary reference, confirmed in Remling (C-767/23), is grounded in Article 47 CFREU's right to a fair trial - not, as the ECJ holds, in Article 267 TFEU uniformity concerns....

My latest article, ‘Statehood and International Organization: Rethinking Their Conceptual Relationship with Reference to Customary International Law’, addresses whether, how, and to what extent, doctrinal propositions that we accept about the legal personality of states can be extended to international organizations. I argue that our theories would make much more sense if we let go of the widespread conception that states are roughly analogous to natural persons of domestic law. Breaking with the domestic law...

Over the past few years, a rapidly expanding network of ‘critical minerals’ agreements has added further complexity to global trade and investment frameworks. The surge in deal making is driven by geopolitical rivalries among large economies to secure their supply chains as well as by mineral-rich country interest in mining sector development. At a deeper level, the agreements reflect a shifting economic paradigm, including greater reliance on state action to steer economic transformation, and on...

Lawrence Douglas (Amherst College) has published The Criminal State: War, Atrocity, and the Dream of International Justice (Princeton Univ. Press 2026). Here's the abstract:The Criminal State offers a gripping account of how law has confronted the most radical forms of state violence. Beautifully written, broad in scope, and bracingly original, it weaves history with political thought to trace the shifting legal response to state aggression and atrocities, from Leopold’s rule over the Congo to Putin’s...

On Tuesday, 7 April 2026, Australia’s most decorated living soldier, Ben Roberts-Smith, was arrested and charged with five counts of the war crime of murder. He is the second soldier charged following Australia’s Brereton Inquiry, which, in November 2020, found credible information of 23 incidents of unlawful killing and two incidents of cruel treatment by Australian Special Forces soldiers in Afghanistan between 2009 and 2013 (for further detail see here).

Here's the abstract: Shortly after, in January 2025, the new US administration took office, and Ukraine peace talks began. To end the war that Russia started more than three years ago, a peace deal is not a utopia anymore. Ukraine has consistently made clear that no negotiations are possible until its...

Nuclear sharing at the NPT RevCon On 27 April 2026, States will gather in New York for the start of the Eleventh Review Conference of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The ‘RevCon’ comes at a particularly turbulent moment in time, marked by nuclear saber-rattling by Russia in the context of its war of aggression against Ukraine, a rapid expansion of China’s nuclear arsenal, and renewed ballistic missile launches by the DPRK, not to mention the controversy...

The situation in Sudan is often described as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Going by the numbers, it could well be more than 150,000 people have died. More than 12 million people have been displaced. More than 21 million people are in a situation of acute food insecurity. But this framing of a humanitarian crisis, or worse, a humanitarian tragedy, seems to deplete the situation of agency, as if the situation is unfortunate, collateral damage...

In December 2024, a Belgian Court of Appeal recognised the civil liability of the Belgian State for a colonial crime committed in the Belgian Congo between 1948 and 1953. In the Métis case, as already addressed by scholars, the Court held that the Belgian policy of systematically removing children born to a Black mother and a white father from their families amounted to a crime against humanity. Less than fifteen months later, Belgian courts once...

The Legal Novelty of the Proposal International commentary on the Strait of Hormuz crisis has focused, understandably, on the lawfulness of Iran’s closure. The more legally significant development has received comparatively little analysis: Iran’s stated intention to revise the legal order governing it on a continuing basis. On April 5, Deputy Presidential Chief of Staff Mehdi Tabatabaei stated that “The Strait of Hormuz will be reopened only when part of the transit revenues is used...
