Is International Criminal Law 'Crowding Out' the Rest of International Law?
http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_06_28-2009_07_04.shtml#1246581442
That�s the question underlying my new essay[1], The Rise of
International Criminal Law: Intended and Unintended Consequences, in
the European Journal of International Law (Vol. 20, No. 2, June 2009).
And I�m curious as to whether anyone else shares my general feeling
that the very success (on some metrics, anyway) of international
criminal law is tending to swallow, as it were, the rest of public
international law.

It's a very broad-ranging essay, and my thanks to EJIL editor and old
friend Joe Weiler for running it, even though it is not exactly a
conventional EJIL piece. Here is the table of contents to the essay
(which is, however, pretty short as law review essays go, at around
10,000 words).
Regimes of mutual benefit and regimes of altruism Alternative to
intervention? Earning the moral right to administer universal
justice Reprisal and reciprocity in the laws of armed conflict The
rise of the machines Individual liability and the loss of the laws
of war as rules for the social organization of war between groups
Does anyone �own� the rules of war anymore? An end-run around the
P-5? Neglecting the UN?
Robot soldiers, ATS jurisprudence, the P-5, this piece has it all, in
under 10,000 words ... It moves pretty quickly, for a law review
article.
