March 2nd, 1836 Texas Declares Independence from Mexico

Though the men fighting at the Alamo would never know it, delegates to the convention at Washington-On-The-Brazos declared Texas Independence on March 2nd, 1836. Prior to that, Texas, like several other Mexican states, had been fighting to restore the Mexican Constitution of 1824 and depose Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana, who had become a dictator. By 1836, the other revolts had been quashed and only Texas was left fighting.

By this time, Texas had a larger Anglo population than Mexican and the Anglo culture clashed with Mexican laws, in such areas as religion (Mexican citizens were required to be Catholic) and slavery (Mexico had outlawed slavery, though it still continued in Texas). Seeing no support from the rest of Mexico and a chance to refashion Texas in the Anglo image, a delegation of 59 men, (only two of whom were born in Texas) declared Texas an Independent Republic.

Un Puente

I didn’t have school Monday. The kid in me was thinking, “Yay! Three-day weekend!!” (or what is called un puente in Mexico), but the cheapy in me was thinking, “Hey! I paid for a whole week of classes!” As it turned out, we just didn’t have our field trip this week, so I am getting as much Spanish learning in, I just don’t get a chance to spend time on a Guadalajara bus. (They are cheap and will…

Call for Papers: 1917 – Intervention, Revolution & International Laws

Call for Papers: 1917 – Intervention, Revolution & International Laws

The Laureate Program in International Law at Melbourne Law School has issued a call for papers for a conference on “1917 – Intervention, Revolution & International Laws,” to be held August 24-25, 2017, in Melbourne. Here’s the call:

1917 was nothing if not eventful. The October Revolution and the revolutionary Mexican Constitution shook the foundations of the international order and international law in profound, unprecedented and lasting ways. One hundred years later, living again through eventful times, we propose to revisit 1917 as an international legal event and to examine its multidimensional impact on the discipline of international law. More specifically, we are interested in analysing the importance of these revolutions for various international legal fields, including the law of armed intervention, the laws of state succession, state responsibility and state immunity as well as international investment law or the rules governing statehood for the purposes of international law.

This conference will draw together a range of scholars and disciplines in order to explore the place of revolution in the international legal order. How did or does international law conceptualise or juridify revolution? What different mechanisms did international law employ in response to the various challenges posed by revolution to particular interests, regimes or paradigms (of property, peace, or politics)? What different forms of intervention (through the laws of war, of expropriation, or of restitution) did they prompt? In the wake of a revolutionary event, should we speak of international law, or rather of rival international laws? Is international law’s structure a means of countering or containing revolution?
