‘FL7726SH’: Between The Law of the Sea and the Jus ad Bellum?
In the morning of Wednesday 25 February 2026, a Cuban government vessel carrying five border guard troops approached a speedboat, registered in the U.S. as FL7726SH, after it had, according to Cuba’s Interior Ministry, entered its territorial waters in Falcones Cay, Villa Clara province. Upon being approached for identification by the Cuban vessel, the crew of the speedboat allegedly opened fire leading to the wounding of one Cuban commander and, in the ensuing exchange of fire,...

The War on Terroir Continues: The Escalating Conflict Between the U.S. and the EU on Geographical Indications
In a time when the views of the European Union and the United States of America appear to be drifting further apart each day, long-standing issues are resurfacing once again. Tim Josling’s 2006 article “The War on Terroir” describes the transatlantic trade conflict between the U.S. and the EU concerning Geographical Indications (GIs) through the lense of its time, remaining hopeful in view of an adequate multilateral conclusion during the Doha Round at the World...

A Case for Judicial Caution? Advocate General Kokott’s Assessment of Hungary’s Law on Sovereignty from a Democratic Standpoint
In Case C-829/24, Advocate General Kokott addresses Hungary’s Sovereignty Law with notable caution. This post argues that, rather than basing its democratic concerns on the value of democracy itself, her opinion convincingly grounds them in the Law’s ‘chilling effect’.... Mehr

AI and the Commission and Facilitation of International Crimes: On Accountability Gaps and the Minab School Strike
The use of artificial intelligence in military operations is a topic of enormous relevance, as the ongoing conflict in Iran well demonstrates. In particular, the United States has been using Anthropic’s Claude AI model, as part of its Maven project, as a decision support system in targeting. The Israeli military’s use of AI systems in the Gaza conflict has also been well documented, and they are surely being used in the Iran context as well.... Mehr

Two Weeks in Review: 23 February—6 March 2026
Here we go again? Last weekend saw yet another shock to the system, as the US and Israel launched an armed attack on Iran: the last week on the blog has seen some initial reactions. These are joined by analyses of the hard-fought (and already faltering?) EU-Mercosur trade agreement, regional shifts in dispute settlement under UNCLOS, an apparently new move to managing investment through trade, and a continuation of the discussion on climate obligations in...

GC IV: Internment in Non-Occupied Territory
International humanitarian law (IHL) treaties use a range of terms to denote deprivation of liberty, one of which is internment. While there is no legal definition, internment is understood to mean the non-criminal detention of a person based on the serious security threat his or her activity poses to a detaining authority. It is the most common form of deprivation of liberty in armed conflict, especially international. This contribution to the joint EJIL Talk /Just... Mehr

How should we be thinking about rupture – and continuity – in relation to the contemporary international economic order? What is happening to international law, the purposes to which it is being put, its centrality as a technology... Mehr

Some Preliminary Thoughts on Ghana’s Announced Recourse to 1982 LOSC Arbitration in the Maritime Boundary Dispute with Togo
On 20 February 2026, Ghana, in a press release, formally notified the Government of Togo of its decision to submit their unresolved maritime boundary dispute to arbitration under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (henceforth: 1982 LOSC). After the lapse of almost a decade during which negotiations, joint technical committees and high-level political consultations took place, Accra concluded that diplomatic efforts had reached an impasse. In a statement issued by... Mehr

The Legality of the UK Interception of Iranian Missiles and Permitting a Limited US Use of British Bases
The UK government has been careful in not directly supporting the ongoing US-Israeli use of force against Iran. This is at least partly because (I’m sure) the internal view within the government is that the use of force is illegal. Indeed, in the endless political rigmarole about the deal between the UK and Mauritius on the Chagos Islands, including the Diego Garcia military base, it seems clear that one of Trump’s flip-flops on the deal...

The American-Israeli Strikes on Iran are (Again) Manifestly Illegal
After weeks of threats, the United States, joined by Israel, has launched military strikes against Iran. It remains to be seen whether these strikes will be fairly limited, or are the opening of an extended conflict. Whatever happens, though, one thing is clear – that this use of force by the US and Israel is manifestly illegal. It is as plain a violation of the prohibition on the use of force in Article 2(4) of... Mehr
