Bajrami: Selbstverteidigung gegen nichtstaatliche Akteure: Eine Systematisierung und Auswertung der unwilling or unable-Doktrin

Shpetim Bajrami
has published Selbstverteidigung gegen nichtstaatliche Akteure: Eine Systematisierung und Auswertung der unwilling or unable-Doktrin (Mohr Siebeck 2022). Here's the abstract:
Staaten greifen zunehmend auf militärische Gewalt gegen nichtstaatliche Akteure zurück. Ob und wie nichtstaatliche Akteure in das Selbstverteidigungsrechtsregime einbezogen werden können, ist eine zentrale Frage des modernen Friedenssicherungsrechts. Shpetim Bajrami untersucht den völkerrechtsdogmatischen Rahmen, beleuchtet die methodischen Anforderungen an einen Rechtswandel und wertet anhand der entwickelten Maßstäbe die Staatenpraxis – insbesondere mit Blick auf die unwilling or unable-Doktrin – aus.

Crootof: Implementing War Torts

Rebecca Crootof (Univ. of Richmond - Law) has posted Implementing War Torts (Virginia Journal of International Law, forthcoming). Here's the abstract:

Under the law of armed conflict, no entity is accountable for lawful acts in war that cause harm, and accountability mechanisms for unlawful acts (like war crimes) rarely create a right to compensation for victims. Accordingly, states now regularly create bespoke institutions, like the proposed International Claims Commission for Ukraine, to resolve mass claims associated with international crises. While helpful for specific and politically popular populations, these one-off institutions have limited jurisdiction and thus limited effect. Creating an international “war torts” regime—which would establish route to compensation for civilians harmed in armed conflict—would better address this accountability gap for all wartime victims.

This Article is the first attempt to map out the questions and considerations that must be navigated to construct a war torts regime. With the overarching aim of increasing the likelihood of victim compensation, it considers (1) the respective benefits of international tribunals, claims commissions, victims’ funds, domestic courts, and hybrid systems as institutional homes; (2) appropriate claimants and defendants; and (3) the elements of a war torts claim, including the necessary level and type of harm, the preferable liability and causation standards, possible substantive and procedural affirmative defenses, and potential remedies.

Domestic law has long recognized that justice often requires a tort remedy as well as criminal liability; it is past time for international law to do so as well. By describing how to begin implementing a new war torts regime to complement the law of state responsibility and international criminal law, this Article provides a blueprint for building a comprehensive accountability legal regime for all civilian harms in armed conflict.

Haque: The Inner Logic of International Law

Adil Ahmad Haque (Rutgers Univ. - Law) has posted The Inner Logic of International Law. Here's the abstract:

How does international law change? Must international law await change by external political intervention from outside the legal system? Or does international law provide reasons for its own development to those empowered to develop it? To address these questions, I will draw on an unlikely source. Joseph Raz was one of the greatest legal philosophers of all time. But he wrote relatively little about international law until the last decade of his life. Nevertheless, I will draw on Raz’s ideas to illuminate three pathways of international legal change: in the law of treaties, in customary international law, and in international adjudication.

Part I shows how the law of treaties distributes the task of developing law by way of interpreting texts. In national legal systems, this task primarily falls to courts exercising directed powers. Domestic courts have the legal power to clarify and develop the law, and are directed to do so through legal interpretation. In the international legal system, this task primarily falls to states themselves. States are directed to apply the general rule of treaty interpretation. This rule requires interpreting a treaty in light of its object and purpose, which may include promoting moral aims or respecting moral principles. As states converge on a sound purposive or teleological interpretation, that interpretation becomes legally conclusive through subsequent agreement and subsequent practice. Since international law, by design, gives States the ability to develop the law in this way, States enjoy a directed legal power to do so.

Part II shows how customary international law invites moral considerations into its formation and evolution. It does so not by actively incorporating morality, but simply by failing to exclude morality. Since moral considerations apply to states independently of the law, States are directed to develop customary law in light of moral considerations. This is by design. It is only by reflecting the group’s shared view of how its members should act that customary law can credibly claim the legitimate authority that all law necessarily claims. Once states arrive at a social rule reflecting a shared moral view, states enjoy a legal power to accept that social rule as law, conditional on the acceptance of a representative majority of states. As law, the rule is integrated into the international legal order and interlocked with its secondary rules.

Part III shows how legal reasoning by international courts can establish legal truth or legal justification. Valid reasoning from true legal and factual premises establishes legal truth—what the law is. Valid reasoning from true legal and moral premises establishes legal justification—what the law should be given the moral commitments already endorsed by the law. International courts reason to legal truth to apply existing law to existing facts in contentious cases or advisory proceedings. International courts reason to legal justification for two reasons. When one existing legal rule justifies another, the former illuminates the point or purpose of the latter, guides its interpretation, and assigns its normative weight in the event of conflict with other rules. When an existing legal rule justifies a rule that does not yet exist as law, the former provides a legal reason to create and apply the rule as law. International courts seldom openly engage in this last form of legal reasoning, and occasionally disavow it. But it is plausible that international courts in fact engage in this form of legal reasoning to avoid a non liquet in contentious cases, and that parties consent to have their disputes decided in this way. States are rationally committed to the moral implications of their legal positions, and this explains why states so often adopt the conclusions of a court’s legal reasoning and make them law.

Durkee: The Pledging World Order

Melissa (MJ) Durkee (Univ. of Georgia - Law) has posted The Pledging World Order (Yale Journal of International Law, forthcoming). Here's the abstract:

There is an emerging world order characterized by unilateral pledges within a legal or “legal-ish” architecture of commitments. The pledging world order has emerged in the international legal response to climate change as well as diverse sites that cross the public-private divide and blur the lines between them. Pledging as a legal technology is so far distinctly underwhelming. Pledging platforms facilitate incremental, non-disruptive action and do not remedy global justice problems. As a world order, pledging erodes distinctions between public and private, multilateralism and localism, law and not-law, and progress and stasis. The pledging order is both a symptom of and a contributor to the dismantling of the Westphalian and postwar orders. Nevertheless, the pledging approach may improve legitimacy and be the best available method to respond to important global commons problems like climate change, biodiversity loss, orbital debris, and other emerging issues.

This article makes three principal contributions: First, it identifies pledging as a treaty design choice and contrasts it with other forms of international lawmaking. Second, it casts pledging as a trans-regime, trans-substantive ordering device that appears inside and outside of law, in public and private sites, and at all levels of organization. Third, it identifies features of the world order that pledging reflects. Specifically, the pledging world order privileges function over status, departs from the top-down methods of deep cooperation common to the postwar legal order, and embraces a form of coordinated autonomy. Reformers might make design choices to improve this order, try to reclaim features of older orders, or reject both paths and turn to something new.
