@constlstudies.bsky.social is relaunching as an international, multilingual, and open-access journal! I'm happy to join as Associate Editor for this new stage. The journal will accept contributions in English, Spanish, and French. The first issue will be available later this June.

Just published in the Netherlands Yearbook of International Law: My research on how the Inter-American Court functions as a policy maker through structural remedies. link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

If you are in London, feel free to come to @ucllaws.bsky.social to this panel on enforcing human rights judgments. We will be assessing "resistant compliers" and long-term unenforced judgments. I will be focusing on the experience of the Inter-American Court . www.ucl.ac.uk/laws/events/...

Fantastic discussion with Alina Shchetinina on art and its tensions with trade marks! 3 takeaways: (1)Trade mark law should include free speech standards; (2)artistic expression should be protected from onerous litigation; (3)the potential of art can be achieved if free from fear from litigation.

Just bringing this to everyone's attention again, do let any PGRs or ECRs who might be interested know!! 👇🗣️

South Korea going full El Salvador now. In El Salvador (2020), though, the president -after surrounding and taking over the Legislature building- refrained from dissolving Congress. One year later, he took control over it through a major parliamentarian win of his party.

The IACtHR has just issued a major judgment on political rights in fraudulent elections in the Capriles v. Venezuela case. The case concerns rights violations during the 2013 Venezuelan presidential election, in which there were strong allegations of fraud to the detriment of Mr. Capriles.
