Uses and Misuses of History in International Criminal Justice and Intertemporal Law
This chapter will discuss two phenomena in the field of international criminal justice which both relate to time: the politics of historical truth-seeking and intertemporal law. The concept of truth may be given either a broad or a narrow meaning. Broad in the sense of seeking to set the historical record of a broader course of events straight, or narrow, by merely focus on the individual responsibility of a defendant. The middle ground would be …
Reconstructing Power and Hegemony in Public International Law
Introduction—The World Order at a Crossroads
This book intends to bring together international scholars for a dialogue on the role of international law from a critical perspective. It is about devotion, compassion, and love for international law. It is written in the dark times of the 2020s, to invigorate thinking about global justice and human dignity. It is a tribute to Pål Wrange, Professor of International Law at the Stockholm University Faculty of Law, for his pioneering work in critic…
War Crimes Trials Before Domestic Courts in Ukraine – Making the Case for a Differentiated Approach to International Law
This article analyses domestic war crimes prosecutions in Ukraine in terms of the scope of Ukraine’s war crimes statute and the applicability of domestic general criminal law principles. As part of analysing Ukraine’s war crimes statute, the article creates a typology of approaches to criminalizing war crimes, which is relevant for domestic jurisdictions beyond Ukraine. Moreover, the article argues for a differentiated approach in Ukraine and oth…
Debating Threats in the UNSC
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is the principal international body for addressing threats to international peace and security, empowered by Article 39 of the UN Charter to determine and respond to such threats. Existing research on the argumentation in the UNSC has often focused either on single topics or on the occurrence of topics in resolutions and statements in isolation. However, this approach tends to overlook the nuances of the…
The Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) represents a technological upheaval with the potential to change human society. Because of its transformative potential, AI is increasingly becoming subject to regulatory initiatives at the global level. Yet, so far, scholarship in political science and international relations has focused more on AI applications than on the emerging architecture of global AI regulation. The purpose of this article is to outline an age…
Selective Attention
What explains why the United Nations Security Council meets and deliberates on some armed conflicts but not others? We advance a theoretical argument centred on the role of conflict externalities, state interests and interest heterogeneity. We investigate data on the Security Council's deliberation on armed conflicts in the 1989–2019 period and make three key findings: (1) conflicts that generate substantive military or civilian deaths are more l…
Emergency Powers in Response to Covid-19
The paper relies upon legal as well as political science perspectives and methods. The first part of the paper frames pandemics within in the context of international law, focusing especially on the right to health, the WHO 2005 International Health Regulations, and derogations from human rights in normal times as well as during states of emergency. The second part of the paper sets out a theoretical framework, deriving three hypotheses for why c…
Raphaël Lemkin in Stockholm – Significance for his Work on “Axis Rule in Occupied Europe”
Raphaël Lemkin coined in 1944 the term “genocide” when he published his book Axis Rule in Occupied Europe. A significant part of the material was collected when Raphaël Lemkin lived in Stockholm 1940-1941. This study introduces new information on how Lemkin was allowed to enter Sweden, his time as a lecturer at Stockholm university college and the persons who helped him in Sweden, most notably the prominent lawyer and politician Karl Schlyter. Th…
The Legality of Rebel Courts during Non-International Armed Conflicts
This article examines relevant norms concerning trials conducted by courts established by armed non-state actors (referred to as ‘rebels’) during non-international armed conflicts. While such courts are often justified by rebels in the interest of securing law and order, states’ perceptions are more negative, especially the territorial state concerned. This raises questions under international humanitarian law, human rights law and international …
The Alternative Hypothesis Approach, Robustness and International Criminal Justice
This article deals with issues pertaining to the process of evaluation of evidence in international criminal justice. Initially, the author analyses some theoretical approaches to the evaluation of evidence. He further examines these theoretical constructs, mainly with emphasis on the ‘alternative hypothesis approach’ in the light of the case law of international criminal courts and tribunals. He then develops the topic from the angle of the vari…
International Criminal Law in Swedish Courts
The district court of Stockholm convicted on 18 December 2006 Jackie Arklöv for a crime against international law. It was the first and, until the present date, the only time liability for an international crime has been tried before a Swedish court. This comment presents the law applied by the Court, draws attention to the principles of legality, ne bis in idem, and discusses whether a national court in a dualistic legal system can impose crimin…
