“It’s Always a Learning Process”: A Preliminary Study of Traditional Food Safety Knowledge and Practices in Kotzebue, Alaska
In Kotzebue, Alaska, traditional Qikiqtaġruŋmiut food practices help reduce risks of food-borne diseases from locally harvested foods. Changes to climate and societal change affecting food systems may introduce new pathogens (e.g., avian influenza, neurotoxins from harmful algal blooms) to local food resources or increase the potential for known pathogens to cause illness (e.g., Clostridium botulinum, Brucella spp., Toxoplasma gondii). To learn m…
The Forgotten Coast: A Synthesis of Current Knowledge of Southern Chukchi Sea Lagoon Ecosystems
In the Southern Chukchi Sea Region (SCSR) of the Alaskan Arctic, approximately 40% of the coastline consists of freshwater-brackish lagoons and the gravel spits that separate them from the ocean. These lagoons are important rearing, feeding, and spawning habitats for diverse fish and invertebrate assemblages composed of freshwater, diadromous, and marine taxa. Many of these species are prey for a suite of marine mammals and avian predators in add…
Co-production of knowledge reveals loss of Indigenous hunting opportunities in the face of accelerating Arctic climate change
Profound sea ice loss is rapidly transforming coupled social-ecological Arctic marine systems. However, explicit impacts to harvesting of traditional resources for coastal Indigenous communities remain largely unquantified, particularly where the primary research questions are posed by the Indigenous community as a result of emerging approaches such as knowledge co-production. Here, we directly link reduced sea ice coverage to decreasing harvesti…
Prosecute Little Fish at the ICC
A central aim of international criminal tribunals since Nuremberg has been to prosecute those most responsible, the ‘big fish’, leaving smaller cases to national jurisdictions. The authors, who have both academic backgrounds as well as experience prosecuting international crimes in both international and domestic courts, argue that the International Criminal Court (ICC) should change course and expand its focus to include more ‘little fish cases’…
Could the Crime of Aggression Undermine Deterrence
There is a hopeful story to be told with respect to the activation of the crime of aggression at the International Criminal Court (ICC). Activation will either add to deterrence, or at worst will be harmlessly symbolic. But what if the premise is wrong? What if there is a risk that activation of the crime of aggression will undermine rather than advance deterrence? It matters not that the crime is activated, but how it is activated — the narrow d…

An Investigation Mechanism for Syria
On 21 December 2016, the United Nations General Assembly took a historic step in establishing a Mechanism to investigate and preserve evidence of international crimes in Syria, the first time the Assembly has established such a body. This essay assesses the General Assembly's legal authority to create such an organ, and situates the move in the larger story of the international criminal justice project. The establishment of the Mechanism at the s…
