On 19 March, the ICJ delivered a judgment allowing Guatemala to intervene as a non-party in Sovereignty over the Sapodilla Cayes/Cayos Zapotillos (Belize v. Honduras).

One feature of the turn to history in international law has been the adoption of ‘national’ traditions (here using ‘national’ very loosely) as a lens through which to explore a broader picture. This focus on national traditions has converged with rich work styled as comparative international law, exploring how international law operates as a fragile common language even as governments deploy its grammar and vocabulary in quite different ways. In this episode we take up...

As the Iran war rumbles into its fifth week with no end in sight, the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine continue to ask difficult questions of what international law is and what it can be expected to do. These posts are joined by two seminal decisions of...

Introduction Around 800,000 Lebanese residents have been displaced so far since the beginning of this round of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel. On 2 March 2026, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) issued evacuation orders directing residents of villages and towns in southern Lebanon to leave their homes and move north of the Litani River, effectively depopulating an area covering about 8% of Lebanon’s territory and affecting hundreds of thousands of residents (here and here). Similar...

Introduction: Confronting the “Double Erasure” As the dust of explosions settles over the Gaza Strip, a profound realization dawns upon the survivors: the destruction is not merely physical. It is a systematic attempt to tear the memory of the place, uproot victims from their human context, and dissolve them into silent, anonymous statistics. This “double erasure”—of the physical life and the legal/historical identity—poses the greatest threat to a future built on a land rendered history-less...
