Diplomacy and Law
Understanding the Forces That Shape the World: In-Depth Analysis of International Law, Diplomacy, and Global Affairs
Recent Analysis
The legality of seizing Russian Central Bank assets
The legality of seizing Russian Central Bank assets turns first on precision about the object and mechanism of the proposed measure.
Geopolitics of Outer Space: Power, Competition, Governance
The geopolitics of Outer Space has become unavoidable because contemporary state power, economic stability, and military effectiveness are now structurally dependent on orbital systems that are simultaneously strategic, congested, and weakly governed.
Customary International Law: How It Forms and Works
Customary international law operates as the default legal framework of the international system. It governs situations in which treaty law is absent, incomplete, politically unusable, or deliberately avoided.
The Geopolitical Significance of Greenland
The geopolitical significance of Greenland derives first from immutable geographic realities that structure strategic behaviour long before political preferences, economic ambitions, or legal claims are considered.
U.S. Interest in Greenland Under International Law
The U.S. Interest in Greenland has resurfaced as a legally consequential issue because it places a traditional strategic ambition into direct confrontation with the contemporary international law of territory.
Tigray War: Law, Atrocities, and the Peace Deal
The Tigray war marks one of the most consequential armed conflicts of the early twenty-first century for public international law, not because it created new rules, but because it exposed how fragile existing legal frameworks become under conditions of internal fragmentation, regional entanglement, and sustained information control.

Far from isolated or episodic misconduct, the available evidence points to sustained patterns of state action and omission that engage international responsibility across multiple legal regimes.
Nicolás Maduro in U.S. Custody and the Future of U.S.–Latin America Relations
Maduro in U.S. Custody marks one of the most disruptive diplomatic shocks in the history of U.S.–Latin America relations since the end of the Cold War. The physical removal of a sitting Latin American president by U.S. action is not merely a criminal or enforcement episode; it is a geopolitical event that recalibrates power, trust, and strategic expectations across the Western Hemisphere.
Crimes Against Humanity in Contemporary International Law
Crimes against humanity entered international law as a response to atrocities that could not be adequately captured by traditional war crimes doctrine. The concept emerged to address large-scale violence committed against civilian populations as a matter of policy, including acts carried out by a state against its own population.
Nicolas Maduro's arrest: legality under International Law
Nicolas Maduro's arrest has immediately positioned itself as a landmark event in contemporary international law, not because of any judicial outcome, but because of the method through which a foreign state seized a sitting head of government.
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Explained
The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities represents one of the most consequential normative developments in contemporary international human rights law.
