A steamy study on dominance, submission, and—of course—compliance. For added memic content, we might further comment: still a better love story than Twilight.

This is a fantastic submission by LLSP, to whom, incidentally, the Special Rapporteurs wish a very happy birthday!

Some may not know this, but Disney actually made a movie about the tribunal.

In the upcoming installment of the Harry Potter Saga, Hogwarts will be offering a class on International Arbitration.

Amongst the topics covered:

The use of Invisibility Cloaks: safeguarding arbitral confidentiality or hindering judicial transparency?

Polyjuice potion: a new treaty-shopping alternative to the use of shell companies?

Is an arbitration agreement between a muggle and a wizard unconscionable?

Can the Ministry of Magic enter into an enforceable arbitration agreement?

Does the use of the “Accio” spell amount to indirect expropriation?

(This is a fantastic guest post by MF.)

This is bloge, a meme celebrating the launch of the UCL Journal of Law and Jurisprudence Blog, which can be found here: http://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/law-journal/

The Special Rapporteurs are fairly sure that the development above was not envisaged by the members of Advisory Committee of Jurists.

The work where this holy grail of long footnotes can be found: August Reinisch, International Organizations before National Courts (CUP 2000) p. 159-161.

Who wouldn’t want a college hoodie showing that you belong to ‘The Invisible College of International Lawyers’ (O, Schachter, (1977) 72 Nw. UL Rev. 217)? This could be the first item in an Internationally Wrongful Memes merchandise store, which may also carry wine glasses saying ‘Partti Koskenniemi’.

A good question, considering the EU’s plans and the EJIL column of the same name.

A solid rule of thumb for thesis writers, inspired by the brilliant movie Wayne’s World.

The Slovak village of Gabčíkovo, which is featured on Internationally Wrongful Meme’s beautiful cover photo and which also gave its name to the well-known international law case, is named after Jozef Gabčík, who during WW2 assassinated the German officer Reinhard Heydrich on a street in Prague. Heydrich was at the time the director of the Reich Main Security Office, where he was succeeded by Ernst Kaltenbrunner, who was later convicted and executed in another well-know international law case, the Nuremberg trials. Heydrich was also Protector of Bohemia and Moravia (which is why he was in Prague), and on his death this position was taken up by Konstantin von Neurath, who was convicted, but not sentenced to death, at Nuremberg. Thus, if Heydrich had lived, he would most certainly have been tried at Nuremberg, which would have imprinted his name in the history of international law. Instead it is his assassin who got that honour, albeit in a much more roundabout (and positive) manner.

Check out the bling-bling on Lord Bingham.

He was perhaps not an international lawyer in any strict sense, although he did pen a magnificient article on the Alabama Claims, and was involved in a number of cases and questions of international law.

And the award for Most Obviously French Name in the History of International Law goes to...

Good question, Philosoraptor.
