Enemy of Justice? Secrecy in Domestic War Crimes Trials in Serbia
Secrecy is an essential element in war crimes trials, as it protects vulnerable individuals and sensitive information, ensuring trials can proceed effectively. However, secrecy often conflicts with principles of public justice, undermining the legitimacy and societal acceptance of trial processes and judgements. This, in turn, can limit the transformative potential of war crimes trials for post-conflict societies. We examine this tension between …
For freedom alone
In September 2014, the people of Scotland voted on whether or not to become an independent state. The consequences of independence would have been complex –decisions about accession to the EU, currency union, defense. Seemingly less dramatic, yet no less important, are the consequences of Scotland not seceding — the effects in global law and politics of the very fact that the referendum happened, and that it failed. Many elements of the Scottish …
The spear point and the ground beneath
The doctrine of Responsibility to Protect (R2P) faces considerable criticism, of both its inefficacy - its failure to describe an effective pathway around the obstacles to humanitarian intervention in the sclerotic global security system - and its overreach, especially the risk that it enables pretextual agendas of intervention and regime change. Yet neither defenders nor critics have paid much attention to another possibility or risk incumbent i…

Discursive democracy and the challenge of state building in divided societies
Current approaches to democratic state building place serious conceptual limits on policy options. A democratic future for Bosnia's people will require far more searching engagement with identity formation and its politicization than reform efforts have so far contemplated. Theories of discursive democracy illuminate how this might be possible. We deploy the discursive idea of symbolic capital to show how one might identify the lines along which …
The Blessing of Departure
What limits ought there be on a state s ability to create a homogeneous society, to increase or perpetuate non-diversity, or to create hierarchies within existing diversity? This article examines those questions with reference to the Lieberman Plan which proposes to transfer populated territories from Israel to the Palestine in exchange for Jewish settlements on the West Bank as an abstract exercise in demographic transformation by the state. Fir…
A Different Departure
Anyone reading Yuval Shany s response to my article, The Blessing of Departure Exchange of Populated Territories The Lieberman Plan as an Abstract Exercise in Demographic Transformation, would hardly characterize it as agreement. In part this is because Shany builds his case by assuming I am saying something about self-determination that misses at least misplaces my real point. This is unfortunate, both as it masks the fact that Shany and I actua…
Migrating Towards Minority Status
During the 1990s, European policy towards Roma evolved from concern about migration toward rhetoric about rights. In this article we trace that shift across two OSCE reports. Following rhetorical-action models, we show how the EU's commitment to enlargement and "common values" compelled it to elaborate an internal approach to minority protection. Concerns about migration persist, but Europe now has to consider how to integrate Roma as minorities
