Stendel & Wentker: Monetary Gold in the Age of Public Interest Litigation Robert Stendel (Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law) & Alexander Wentker (Univ. of Potsdam; Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law) have posted Monetary Gold in the Age of Public Interest Litigation (European Journal of International Law, forthcoming). Here's the abstract: This article develops an analytical framework for applying the Monetary Gold rule in public interest litigation before the ICJ. A new dimension of this litigation expands the circle of potential respondent states to also include facilitators and bystanders of a primary wrongdoing. This litigation raises the question as to whether the ICJ would be barred from adjudicating claims against such states because the primary wrongdoing state would be an indispensable third party. To build its framework, the article compares different types of rules that enable states to be held responsible for the conduct of other states. These rules range from complicity-type duties of non-assistance and non-instigation to duties of prevention. All of these duties share a certain ‘moral sophistication’ in that they bear a connection to another state’s (potential) wrongdoing. The character of this connection determines the extent to which the Monetary Gold rule bars the ICJ from adjudicating a claim. The way that different duties structure their moral sophistication is key. Wider developments in the structure of the international legal order, with an increase in freestanding obligations imposed on states, suggest that the room for such public interest litigation may be growing. For obligations of prevention in particular, requests for provisional measures offer pathways to adjudication in spite of Monetary Gold, as may seeking and using determinations of third states’ legal position in authoritative decisions, including advisory opinions. By testing the limits of these paths, public interest litigation against facilitators and bystanders may further re-calibrate the balance in inter-state dispute settlement between respect for sovereign equality on the one hand and the possibility of judicially enforcing community interests on the other hand.

von Borzyskowski & Vabulas: Exit from International Organizations: Costly Negotiation for Institutional Change Inken von Borzyskowski (Univ. of Oxford) & Felicity Vabulas (Pepperdine Univ.) have published Exit from International Organizations: Costly Negotiation for Institutional Change (Cambridge Univ. Press 2025). Here's the abstract:Why do states exit international organizations (IOs)? How often does exit from IOs – including voluntary withdrawal and forced suspension – occur? What are the effects of leaving IOs for the exiting state? Despite the importance of membership in IOs, a broader understanding of exit across states, organizations, and time has been limited. Exit from International Organizations addresses these lacunae through a theoretically grounded and empirically systematic study of IO exit. Von Borzyskowski and Vabulas argue that there is a common logic to IO exit which helps explain both its causes and consequences. By examining IO exit across 198 states, 534 IOs, and over a hundred years of history, they show that exit is driven by states' dissatisfaction, preference divergence, and is a strategy to negotiate institutional change. The book also demonstrates that exit is costly because it has reputational consequences for leaving states and significantly affects other forms of international cooperation.

Schäfer: Humanität als Vehikel: Der Diskurs um die Kodifikation des Kriegsrechts im Gleichgewichtssystem des europäischen Völkerrechts in den formgebenden Jahren von 1856 bis 1874 Raphael Schäfer (Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law) has published Humanität als Vehikel: Der Diskurs um die Kodifikation des Kriegsrechts im Gleichgewichtssystem des europäischen Völkerrechts in den formgebenden Jahren von 1856 bis 1874 (Nomos 2025). Here's the abstract: Die Arbeit nimmt eine Neubewertung der Geschichte des Kriegsrechts vor. Sie verlässt die ausgetretenen Pfade linear-progressiver Fortschrittsnarrative und rekonstruiert die Kodifizierung kriegsrechtlicher Normen durch einen interdisziplinären Ansatz, der juristische Dogmatik mit archivgestützten ideengeschichtlichen Elementen verbindet. Auf diese Weise identifiziert die Arbeit sicherheitspolitische Reaktionen auf Systemverschiebungen im europäischen Völkerrecht als Ausgangspunkt des Kodifikationsprojekts. The study reassesses the history of the laws of war. It departs from the well-trodden paths of linear-progressive narratives of progress and reconstructs the codification through an interdisciplinary approach that combines legal doctrine with archive-based elements of the history of ideas. In this way, the study identifies security policy reactions to systemic shifts in European international law as the starting point of the codification project.

Carrington: Global Decolonisation and Non-Sovereignty: Small Island States in the Caribbean Grace Carrington (Univ. College London) has published Global Decolonisation and Non-Sovereignty: Small Island States in the Caribbean (Cambridge Univ. Press 2025). Here's the abstract:Non-sovereign territories today account for more than half the states in the Caribbean but regional and global histories of the twentieth century tend to exclude them from narratives of protest and change. This book argues that our current understanding of global decolonisation is partial. We need a fuller picture which includes both independent and non-independent states, and moves beyond a focus on political independence, instead conceptualising decolonisation as a process of challenging and dismantling colonial structures and legacies. Decolonisation is neither an inevitable nor a linear process, but one which can ebb and flow as the colonial grip is weakened and sometimes restrengthened, often in new forms. Using the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Martinique and Guadeloupe as case studies, Grace Carrington demonstrates that a focus on the processes of decolonisation in these non-sovereign states enriches our understanding of the global experience of twentieth century decolonisation.

Lorenzo: International Financial Institutions and Sustainable Development: Lawmaking and Accountability Johanna Aleria P. Lorenzo (Univ. of Amsterdam - Law) has published International Financial Institutions and Sustainable Development: Lawmaking and Accountability (Cambridge Univ. Press 2025). Here's the abstract:Balancing theoretical and practice-oriented elements, this book introduces researchers, teachers, and students in international sustainable development law to the IFIs' safeguard policies. It also scrutinizes the case law of independent accountability mechanisms that interpret those policies and afford recourse to individuals and communities adversely affected by development projects. The book's focus on the procedural and substantive features of IFIs' safeguard systems contributes to a more concrete understanding of these organizations' participation in the international lawmaking process on sustainable development. It puts IFIs in the spotlight and provides an international legal critique of their activities to match their notoriety in popular consciousness and to enhance their accountability to those they harm. By approaching international (economic) law and sustainable development through the lens of economic, environmental, and social issues arising in development projects primarily in the Global South, the book presents a needed counterbalance to existing literature on the topic.

Ochi: Reparations to Future Generation before the ICC: Intergenerational Justice Accounts Megumi Ochi (Ritsumeikan Univ. - Graduate School of International Relations) has posted Reparations to Future Generation before the ICC: Intergenerational Justice Accounts (Journal of International Criminal Justice, forthcoming). Here's the abstract: This article argues that it is just for the International Criminal Court (ICC) to order the perpetrator of core crimes to provide reparations to those who were not yet born at the time of the commission of the crimes (‘future victims’). Responding to the criticism that future victims are not eligible to receive reparations, philosophical explanations are proposed to justify the award of reparations to future victims at the ICC using different conceptions of intergenerational justice. First, a theoretical framework is developed to divide victims into contemporary and future victims and then future victims are divided into three types: independent, dependent, and community-level future victims. Next, several existing theories of intergenerational justice are applied to each type of victims, and the different causal links required are identified. In sum, theoretical justifications for the award of reparations will differ based on the conception of harm suffered by the victims. On the one hand, relying on the proposal by Lukas H. Meyer, independent future victims should be repaired for the identity-independent harm up to the extent of the threshold of their well-being. The required causal link is between the crime and the harm suffered by the future victims. On the other hand, based on the subsequent-wrong solution proposed by George Sher, reparations to dependent future victims should be understood as reparations for the harm caused by failure to repair the harm suffered by those who existed at the time of the commission of crimes. The required causal link is between the harm suffered by contemporary victims and the harm suffered by future victims. Reparations to community-level future victims can be explained using the concept of transgenerational community proposed by Avner De-Shalit. The required causal link in this case is between the harm suffered by the community and the harm suffered by the future victims.
