Sovereign Immunity as Liminal Space
Questions of foreign state immunity frequently involve the ‘liminal space’ between substance and procedure, between domestic and international law and between the domestic law of the forum states and domestic laws of other states. US courts typically (and rightly) rest their analysis not only upon relevant foreign law and international practice but also upon procedural norms that are not formally part of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. Immu…
Sources of International Law in Domestic Law: Domestic Constitutional Structure and the Sources of International Law
This chapter takes a new approach to the much-analysed relationship between domestic and international law. It considers how global changes in domestic constitutional structures have changed the sources of international law. It argues that domestic constitutional structures have changed in similar ways in many countries around the world over the past century. Treaties, custom, and ‘soft law’ as sources of international law have each been shaped b…

Zivotofsky ex rel. Zivotofsky v. Kerry
In Zivotofsky v. Kerry , decided June 8, 2015, the United States Supreme Court (Court) held unconstitutional a federal statute that permitted U.S. citizens born in Jerusalem to designate “Israel” as their place of birth on their passports, notwithstanding the secretary of state’s decision that such passports should designate “Jerusalem” as the place of birth. The opinion resolved a relatively narrow question of law (the constitutionality of an un…

AJIL Unbound is pleased to announce three commentators who will discuss the article by Pierre-Hugues Verdier and Erik Voeten entitled “Precedent, Compliance, and Change in Customary International Law: An Explanatory Theory.” The article argues that rational choice scholars have overlooked key characteristics of customary international law and that those characteristics undermine the enforcement of customary norms through decentralized punishment.…

Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum Co: The Supreme court and the Alien Tort Statute
The U.S. Supreme Court has finally decided Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum Co. It is the Court’s second modern decision applying the cryptic Alien Tort Statute (ATS), which was enacted in 1789. Since the 1980 court of appeals decision in Filartiga v. Pena-Irala permitting a wide of range human rights cases to go forward under the statute’s auspices, the ATS has garnered worldwide attention and has become the main engine for transnational human ri…
Pinochet’s Legacy Reassessed
One of the most dramatic moments in twentieth-century international law transpired in 1999 when the House of Lords denied immunity to Augusto Pinochet, the former dictator of Chile. The “breathtaking” judgment cleared the way for the possible prosecution of Pinochet in Spanish national courts on charges of torture committed during his rule. By limiting immunity, the House of Lords’ rulings turned the world “upside down” and ushered in a new era o…
