Towards a Thoroughly Kripkean Theory of Proper Name Reference
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, both Saul Kripke and Keith Donnellan challenged descriptivist theories of proper names, arguing that reference—at least in their case—is basically a historical relation. However, as has become increasingly recognised over the past decade, their pictures differ substantially: when confronted with a token of a proper name, Kripke emphasises its historical connection to previous tokens of that name, whereas Donnell…
Back to the Golden Age: Saul Kripke's Naming and Necessity and Twenty‐First Century Philosophy
In this paper, I try to outline what I take to be Naming and Necessity 's fundamental legacy to my generation and those that follow, and the new perspectives it has opened up for twenty‐first century philosophy. The discussion is subdivided into three sections, concerning respectively philosophy of language, metaphysics, and metaphilosophy. The general unifying theme is that Naming and Necessity is helping philosophy to recover a Golden Age, by f…

International Law's Invisible Frames: Social Cognition and Knowledge Production in International Legal Processes
Law as a social process carried out by human beings is a stimulating object of investigation for those who would like to analyse social cognition and knowledge production processes. Humans acquire and form their knowledge through cognitive processes and in turn form a representation of reality by processing and using this knowledge through different mental channels. To better conceive the invisible frames within which international law moves and …

Fear and international law-making: An exploratory inquiry
Emotions play an important role in cognition and have a significant and all too often neglected influence on (international) law-making processes. Fear, in particular, can be a driver of reasoning and decision-making. Fear of terrorism / immigrants / health threats / food contamination / environmental hazards – to give a few notable examples – influences the perception of risks associated with these issues and consequently impacts international p…

Choice and (the Awareness of) its Consequences: The ICJ's “Structural Bias” Strikes Again in the Marshall Islands Case
My very first publication, admittedly written in a language that many AJIL Unbound readers might be unable or unwilling to read, was an essay on the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and its effects vis-à-vis third parties. Already back then, I found it difficult to justify how an international treaty could rubber-stamp such a highly uneven state of affairs. As a young researcher approaching international law with the enthu…
Terrorism
This chapter examines the so-called ‘grey areas’ in the application of international humanitarian law (IHL) in the regulation of acts of terrorism and counter-terrorism. It explains that terrorism comes under the regulation of IHL only in limited circumstances, such as when a certain threshold of intensity and organization of the parties involved in an armed conflict can be established. It argues that the contention that the rules of IHL are obso…

Terrorism and Armed Conflict: Insights from a Law & Literature Perspective
This article examines some selected issues relating to terrorism and international humanitarian law (IHL): the characterization of the nature of armed conflicts in which armed groups, qualified as ‘terrorist’, are involved; terrorism as a war crime; and the determination of the status and treatment (including detention) of terrorist suspects apprehended in the course of an armed conflict. The analysis emphasizes the importance of legal categories…
The International Regulation of the Use of Force: The Politics of Interpretive Method
The difficulty in identifying the contours of the international regulation of the use of force is not merely the product of the highly politicized character of this area of international law, let alone of the divide between theory and practice. This paper submits that the problem rather lies in the fact that the interpretive community that produces the official discourse on the use of force is no longer able to agree on the way in which legal cat…
Human Rights and the Magic of Jus Cogens
There is an almost intrinsic relationship between jus cogens and human rights. Peremptory human rights norms, as projections of the individual and collective conscience, materialize as powerful collective beliefs. As such, they inherently possess an extraordinary force of social attraction that has an almost magical character. This article investigates the legal effects of peremptory human rights norms at both the systemic and contextual levels. …

This survey is based primarily on the national reports submitted by states, pursuant to the relevant SC resolutions. Other issues, such as the legitimacy of the SC's actions and the encroachment of anti-terror measures on fundamental human rights, are also broached in so far as they…

International Law and US Courts: The Myth of Lohengrin Revisited
This paper attempts to shed light on the current attitude of US courts towards international law. Regardless of the formal instruments of incorporation, the extent to which international law is used by courts within the formal constraints of constitutional provisions largely depends on the legal culture prevailing at any particular time. This sketchy and selective overview of the attitude of US courts unveils a tendency to frame international law…
Immunity versus human rights: The Pinochet case
In the Pinochet case the former head of state of a foreign country has been held accountable for the first time before a municipal court for acts of torture allegedly committed while he was in his post. The unprecedented character of the case causes one to ask whether municipal courts may properly complement international tribunals in the enforcement of international criminal law, and, if so, to what extent a plea of immunity or non-justiciabilit…
