The ECtHR’s Jurisprudence on Armed Conflict with a Focus on Nagorno-Karabakh
The conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, a long-standing territorial dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan, has produced severe humanitarian and legal challenges. The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has played a crucial role in addressing some of these challenges. The paper examines the Court’s evolving jurisprudence on the conflict, focusing on landmark judgments, such as Chiragov v. Armenia and Sargsyan v. Azerbaijan , as well as on ongoing in…
National Information Bureaux
This article examines the historical evolution, legal foundations and contemporary practice of National Information Bureaux (NIBs), institutions that States are required to establish under the Geneva Conventions to collect, centralize and transmit information on enemy combatants hors de combat and certain categories of enemy civilians who have fallen into the State’s hands. It traces the origins of NIBs from early wartime initiatives in the ninet…
A New Era for the OSCE Moscow Mechanism Following the 2022 Invasion of Ukraine
This article provides a critical examination of the Moscow Mechanism, a rapid-response tool within the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe. Originally established in 1991 and rarely invoked during its first three decades of existence, the Mechanism has experienced a reinvigoration since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, having been triggered six times, four of which were in response to alleged violations of interna…
The Idea of European Culture(s) and Diversity
The chapter discusses the way in which the tension between the promotion of a uniform European culture and the need to accommodate cultural diversity in Europe has shaped international law and, vice versa, how international law has helped to strike a balance between the two interests. It shows that this area itself has been marked by ‘cultural diversity’. Three main approaches can be distinguished. The first approach is reserved to cultures seen …
Age-based triage and human rights
The article provides the first comprehensive assessment of age-based triage from the perspective of human rights. Triage, that is the sorting of patients into categories of priority of treatment, has been known for decades. It has however got larger prominence during the Covid-19 crisis. The crisis has exposed healthcare systems in many countries to a critical shortage of resources, forcing them to consider resorting to triage. The absence of leg…
Covid-19 and Older Persons—In Need of a Comprehensive Human Rights Approach
The COVID-19 crisis has had a severe and disproportionate impact on older persons—due both to the effects of the virus itself and to the effects of the measures adopted to counter its spread, including some of those specifically designed to ensure better protection of the elderly. This impact has not gone unnoticed but most of the reports and statements that pertain to it either simply describe what has happened or explain the situation by pointi…
Sovereignty, Property and the Russian Revolution
The article introduces two traditions of conceptualizing the relationship between sovereignty and property which have been present in legal and political doctrine and in international law. One tradition sees the two concepts as separated, the other as interrelated. The article then shows that the Soviet approach to sovereignty and property, which manifested itself in certain measures adopted after the 1917 Russian Revolution (the abolition of pri…
The Threads (or Threats?) of a Managerial Approach
In her EJIL Foreword article, Boisson de Chazournes gives an optimistic account of the proliferation of international courts and tribunals. She argues that the proliferation has been a constant and desired feature of international dispute settlement and that problems arising from it can be resolved through ‘internal communication’ among judicial bodies and through various procedural rules preventing jurisdictional overlaps. These tools, richly il…
Divided We Stand? The AD HOC Tribunals and the CEE Region
After WWII, countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) actively backed the establishment of the military tribunals in Nuremberg and Tokyo. In the early 1990s, when the International Criminal Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and for Rwanda (ICTR) were created by the UN Security Council, the CEE countries again lent uniform, albeit largely rhetorical support to these institutions. A quarter of a century later, this uniformity seems to …
Belligerent Reprisals in Non-International Armed Conflicts
The paper offers the first comprehensive treatment of the applicability and regulation of belligerent reprisals in non-international armed conflicts. It introduces three approaches to the topic (‘extralegal’, ‘permissive’ and ‘restrictive’ approaches) which all enjoy some support among States and scholars. The paper shows that international humanitarian law (IHL) treaties, IHL customs and other legal sources do not make it possible to decide betw…
