Contesse: The Rule of Advice in International Human Rights Law

Jorge Contesse (Rutgers Univ. - Law) has posted The Rule of Advice in International Human Rights Law (American Journal of International Law, forthcoming). Here's the abstract:

Advisory jurisdiction is a ubiquitous feature of international human rights adjudication. Yet the attention of legal scholars is almost entirely devoted to contentious jurisdiction. This Article aims to fill that gap in the literature. By introducing two models of advisory jurisdiction, and analyzing the example of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights—the world’s most active international advice-giver—the Article shows how international human rights courts may utilize advisory proceedings to influence state conduct, in a mechanism the Article calls “ruling through advice.” The Article also shows how human rights courts may attempt to guide states and national courts, by addressing questions that are likely to arise, in a mechanism the Article calls “anticipatory adjudication.” Using the Inter-American Court’s groundbreaking advisory opinion on same-sex marriage as a case study, the Article argues that, despite the domestic implementation of its opinion, the Court misused its advisory powers, putting the regional human rights system at risk. The insights that both the conceptual model and the case study offer may contribute to a larger conversation about international courts’ advisory role.

Biltoft: A Violent Peace: Media, Truth, and Power at the League of Nations

Carolyn N. Biltoft (Graduate Institute) has published A Violent Peace: Media, Truth, and Power at the League of Nations (Univ. of Chicago Press 2021). Here’s the abstract:

The newly born League of Nations confronted the post-WWI world—from growing stateless populations to the resurgence of right-wing movements—by aiming to create a transnational, cosmopolitan dialogue on justice. As part of these efforts, a veritable army of League personnel set out to shape “global public opinion,” in favor of the postwar liberal international order. Combining the tools of global intellectual history and cultural history, A Violent Peace reopens the archives of the League to reveal surprising links between the political use of modern information systems and the rise of mass violence in the interwar world. Historian Carolyn N. Biltoft shows how conflicts over truth and power that played out at the League of Nations offer broad insights into the nature of totalitarian regimes and their use of media flows to demonize a whole range of “others.”

An exploration of instability in information systems, the allure of fascism, and the contradictions at the heart of a global modernity, A Violent Peace paints a rich portrait of the emergence of the age of information—and all its attendant problems.

Theilen: European Consensus between Strategy and Principle: The Uses of Vertically Comparative Legal Reasoning in Regional Human Rights Adjudication

Jens T. Theilen has published European Consensus between Strategy and Principle: The Uses of Vertically Comparative Legal Reasoning in Regional Human Rights Adjudication (Nomos 2021). The book is available open access here. Here's the abstract:

This study offers a critical account of the reasoning employed by the European Court of Human Rights, particularly its references to European consensus. Based on an in-depth analysis of the Court’s case-law against the backdrop of human rights theory, it will be of interest to both practitioners and theorists. While European consensus is often understood as providing an objective benchmark within the Court’s reasoning, this study argues to the contrary that it forms part of the very structures of argument that render human rights law indeterminate. It suggests that foregrounding consensus and the Court’s legitimacy serves to entrench the status quo and puts forward novel ways of approaching human rights to enable social transformation.

Longobardo: The Italian Legislature and International and EU Obligations of Domestic Criminalisation

Marco Longobardo (Univ. of Westminster - Law) has posted The Italian Legislature and International and EU Obligations of Domestic Criminalisation (International Criminal Law Review, Forthcoming). Here's the abstract:

This article explores the nature and content of international and EU obligations to adopt certain criminal domestic legislation, and the impact that they have on the Italian legislature. In light of relevant international, EU, and domestic law provisions, the article investigates what is required of Italy to implement obligations of domestic criminalisation. It is argued that the Italian legislature is bound to implement obligations of domestic criminalisation both under international law and the Italian constitutional law. The article ends with an overview of the consequences under international law that Italy may face for failure to implement international and EU obligations of domestic criminalisation.

Kammerhofer: International Investment Law and Legal Theory: Expropriation and the Fragmentation of Sources

Jörg Kammerhofer (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg - Law) has published International Investment Law and Legal Theory: Expropriation and the Fragmentation of Sources (Cambridge Univ. Press 2021). Here's the abstract:

Expropriation is a hotly debated issue in international investment law. This is the first study to provide a detailed analysis of its norm-theoretical dimension, setting out the theoretical foundations underlying its understanding in contemporary legal scholarship and practice. Jörg Kammerhofer combines a doctrinal discussion with a theoretical analysis of the structure of the law in this area, undertaking a novel approach that critically re-evaluates existing case-law and writings. His approach critiques the arguments for a single expropriation norm based on custom, interpretation and arbitral precedents within international investment law, drawing also on generalist international legal thought, to show that both cosmopolitan and sovereigntist arguments are largely political, not legal. This innovative work will help scholars to understand the application of theory to investment law and help specialists in the field to improve their arguments.

Moses: The Problems of Genocide: Permanent Security and the Language of Transgression

A. Dirk Moses (Univ. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill - History) has published The Problems of Genocide: Permanent Security and the Language of Transgression (Cambridge Univ. Press 2021). Here's the abstract:

Genocide is not only a problem of mass death, but also of how, as a relatively new idea and law, it organizes and distorts thinking about civilian destruction. Taking the normative perspective of civilian immunity from military attack, A. Dirk Moses argues that the implicit hierarchy of international criminal law, atop which sits genocide as the 'crime of crimes', blinds us to other types of humanly caused civilian death, like bombing cities, and the 'collateral damage' of missile and drone strikes. Talk of genocide, then, can function ideologically to detract from systematic violence against civilians perpetrated by governments of all types. The Problems of Genocide contends that this violence is the consequence of 'permanent security' imperatives: the striving of states, and armed groups seeking to found states, to make themselves invulnerable to threats.

Vaccaro-Incisa: China's Treaty Policy and Practice in International Investment Law and Arbitration: A Comparative and Analytical Study

G. Matteo Vaccaro-Incisa has published China's Treaty Policy and Practice in International Investment Law and Arbitration: A Comparative and Analytical Study (Brill | Nijhoff 2021). Here's the abstract:

In this comparative and analytical study, G. Matteo Vaccaro-Incisa offers the most comprehensive and detailed account of China's Treaty Policy and Practice in International Investment Law and Arbitration published to date. After outlining the evolution of China's macroeconomics and ideological stance toward foreign investment, the author analyzes the relationship between the model investment treaties China adopted over the time and those of other traditional key players in the field (Germany, UK, France, Italy, Netherlands). Most innovatively, by analytically surveying several key provisions (including ISDS, expropriation, MFN, NT, FET, FPS) of 120 International Investment Agreements concluded by China, this work manages to draw an objective assessment of the investment treaty policy and practice of a nation that has quickly become a leading importer and exporter of capital across the globe.
