Kwiecień & Fitzmaurice: The Legacy of the Wimbledon Case: Centenary of the First Judgment of the Permanent Court of International Justice

Roman Kwiecień (Jagiellonian Univ. - Law) & Malgosia Fitzmaurice (Queen Mary Univ. of London - Law) have published The Legacy of the Wimbledon Case: Centenary of the First Judgment of the Permanent Court of International Justice (Brill | Nijhoff 2025). The table of contents is here. Here's the abstract:

The book addresses the impact of the first judgment of the 'World Court' on the development of international law and its continuing relevance. The contributions to this book discuss the legal issues decided by the PCIJ in the Wimbledon case. In the Wimbledon judgment, the Court referred to the problems that are still important both for procedural and substantive international law, and which attract the attention of states, courts and the academia today. These include: state sovereignty, sources of international law, interpretation of legal rights and obligations following from treaties and custom, ‘objective regimes’, ‘self-contained regimes’, neutrality in armed conflicts, the status of international waterways, as well as the issues of jurisdiction such as third-party participation in international adjudication, or locus standi for the protection of community interests.

Hakimi & Cogan: The End of the U.S.-Backed International Order and the Future of International Law

Monica Hakimi (Columbia Univ. - Law) & Jacob Katz Cogan (Univ. of Cincinnati - Law) have posted The End of the U.S.-Backed International Order and the Future of International Law (American Journal of International Law, forthcoming). Here's the abstract:

The international order that the United States has for decades led and maintained is undergoing dramatic change. In this essay, we explain how international law was constituted with, and dependent on, U.S. power during this period, how the two became (in an odd couple fashion) entwined together, and how, as the international order changes, the international legal system, its content and its architecture, will also inevitably change.
