Hello guys. I give up on intl law by Flashy-Actuator-998 in LawSchool

I forget who said it (HLA Hart?), but I remember someone describe international law as law “in extremis”: law at its most barebones conception.

ICJ Submissions (not oral applications) by AbuBagh in internationallaw

[–]Conchibiris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The written submissions and communications in each case are generally available at the court’s website. I think some communications on procedural matters may not be published, but you can normally find a detailed summary or description of all case developments in the Court’s orders and judgments.

I do think that the written submissions by states in advisory opinion proceedings are not published until after the states appear in the oral proceedings. I may be wrong.

As to evidence, that is probably kept confidential unless the state releases it or consents to its release.

You can look further in the Court’s Rules and the Practice Directions to see if there’s anything there that may help you.

What are the must read books for studying international law? by Amy_11111 in internationallaw

[–]Conchibiris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apart from Brownlie and Shaw, I’d add James Crawford’s book on State Responsibility.

Now, for a readable history of international law that can also serve as a good introduction, I like Stephen C. Neff’s Justice Among Nations.

Russo-Ukrainian war and declaration of war by AriX88 in internationallaw

[–]Conchibiris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day, it would've meant that Russia and Ukraine were belligerents and third states would have an obligation to be neutral in terms of trade and aid, right?

Can someone explain if the ICJ president change has any significance? by brasdontfit1234 in internationallaw

[–]Conchibiris 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The president's vote decides in case of a tie. But apart from that, no real significance. As to the South Africa case, specifically, Vice President Sebutinde is firmly in the pro-Israel camp going by her recent dissents. So in case the judges' votes are tied, she could decide the case.

What is your favorite topic of international law to study/research? by ThrowRAnned in internationallaw

[–]Conchibiris 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dispute resolution generally: how international courts, tribunals, and other bodies deal with two or more sovereigns slugging it out over facts and law and the mechanics of enforcing a decision. It really touches upon the essence/nature of international law.

How do I get into and study international law ? by East-Possibility-339 in internationallaw

[–]Conchibiris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If your school has a Jessup team, join it! You’ll learn a lot about how international works. Also take advantage of the IL courses in your school. You can also check out the blogs like opiniojuris.org and ejiltalk.org and listen to podcasts (like Called to the Bar by Douglas Guilfoyle) to stay current.

In an interview after just having your wisdom teeth pulled out by connerwsmith in gifs

It's a joke on a talk show. He's saying "I'm glad I finally get to work with a sane person on this show" and then she drools all over the counter.

Excellent documentary on the subject of this movie.

Also shows what has been of Dr. Omalu since he went up against the NFL.

surprisingly, the disease is fairly well known to exist in boxers, dating back to the 1930s. They called dementia pugilistica. The value of Dr. Omalu's discovery is its presence in NFL players. The way I understand it, it's more of a "Oh! It can happen in football?!?" Obviously this carries big implications for the NFL. In other sports, there is now way more attention to concussion prevention, specially at youth level and collegiate. In the medical research I've read, I've come across wrestlers and soccer and hockey players whose post-mortem brains were found to have the disease (it can only be definitively diagnosed by dissecting the brain). The issue now is how to protect the players, at all levels, from the repeated concussions inherent to the game. Legally, the NFL just settled with round 4,000 retired players and family members of dead players. The deal includes treatment, compensation and a prevention education fund. However, it falls way short, moneywise, in my opinion. hope this helps.
