Thank you @maximb.bsky.social @antoine-despieg.bsky.social and @matigre.bsky.social for publishing my blog on the ICJ Climate Advisory Opinion @verfassungsblog.de @sabincenter.bsky.social @lauterpachtcentre.bsky.social @cambridgelaw.bsky.social @cam.ac.uk @hugheshall.bsky.social @cisdl.bsky.social

"The Struggle Against Fossil Sovereignty" JOCHEN VON BERNSTORFF and INGO VENZKE explain why the ICJ's climate advisory opinion lends further support to efforts aimed at pushing back against the legal protection of fossil fuel extraction and production. verfassungsblog.de/icj-climate-...

"Sea-Level Rise Reaches The Hague" 🌊⚖️ ANTOINE DE SPIEGELEIR (@antoine-despieg.bsky.social) & ARMANDO ROCHA examine the most salient features of the ICJ’s assessment of the law of the sea in the context of climate change in its recent climate advisory opinion. verfassungsblog.de/law-of-the-s...

"UN report finds United Nations reports are not widely read" www.reuters.com/world/un-rep...

While much of the commentary on the ICJ’s climate advisory opinion rightly focuses on its legal conclusions, my latest blog post takes a different approach. I read the opinion as an act of institutional self-presentation: a moment where the Court constructs its own role in the international order.

"A Right Foundational to Humanity’s Existence" 🌱 DAVID R. BOYD (@drdavidboyd.bsky.social‬), former UN Special Rapporteur, on the role of the human right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment in the ICJ's advisory opinion on climate change. verfassungsblog.de/icj-climate-...

A new piece in the symposium I'm co-editing with @matigre.bsky.social & @maximb.bsky.social is now out! "What the Court Didn't Say" by @jedodermatt.bsky.social explores the ambivalence of missed opportunities in the ICJ's advisory opinion on climate change. ⬇️

"The most significant development in international climate law since the adoption of the Paris Agreement" 🌍⚖️ MARIA ANTONIA TIGRE, MAXIM BÖNNEMANN, and ANTOINE DE SPIEGELEIR kick off a new joint blog symposium on the ICJ's advisory opinion on climate change. verfassungsblog.de/the-icj-advi...

🌏📣The ICJ issued its long-awaited #advisoryopinion on the obligations of States to #climatechange. The groundbreaking opinion will have a major impact on global climate governance. Read our intro in the #SabinCenter’s Climate Law Blog symposium with @verfassungsblog.de : buff.ly/9ZOpmGC

"A Single Paragraph’s Promise" LENA RIEMER on the International Court of Justice's advisory opinion on climate change and the understated question of climate-induced human displacement. verfassungsblog.de/icj-advisory... @sabincenter.bsky.social @matigre.bsky.social @antoine-despieg.bsky.social

The ECtHR may soon issue its first compensation awards against Russia for its conduct in Ukraine. Given Russia’s lack of cooperation, ANTOINE DE SPIEGELEIR (@antoine-despieg.bsky.social) and BEINI YE examine enforcement via third states holding Russian assets. verfassungsblog.de/ecthr-russia...

After 17 years of serving as EJIL Editor in Chief, he is now stepping down. In his words: ‘for real’. It is an occasion for an in-person conversation: many people know ‘Weiler’ by name or by initials ‘JHHW’; fewer people know him in person. Who is Joseph Halevi Horowitz Weiler?

Advisory opinions all over the place? Submit an abstract for a @esil-sedi.bsky.social pre-conference workshop in Berlin on the role and function of advisory proceedings before international courts and tribunals. Abstracts due 28 March, more information below.
