My article 'Dollar Dominance, De-Dollarization, and International Law' is now out in JIEL. I present dollar dominance and de-dollarisation as competing legal institutions.

Conor Gearty was, without hesitation, the best academic writer I’ve read. He was also a thoroughly decent and kind human being who fearlessly used his position speak truth to power.
Conor did law, politics and academia the right way and he will be sorely missed.

This week, despite Venezuela's 2012 denunciation of the American Convention, the IACtHR held that Venezuela remains bound. Why? Because Guaidó re-ratified the Convention, retroactive to 2013, in 2019. The catch? Maduro was incumbent before and after Guaidó, and, arguably, during Guaidó.

There is a risk of thinking that because so much of Trump's trade talk is just diplomacy theatre that it doesn't matter much. But I got another lesson last week about why even posturing on trade matters last week--from my kid's orthodontist

I am honestly at a loss about what journalists and academics should do when so much of what used to be policy decisions have become kayfabe
So just so I have this straight. The EU has agreed to be bound by tariffs that Trump has neither legal nor constitutional authority to impose. It has agreed to buy an impossible amount of energy from the US, more than it currently imports from all sources. The EU cannot actually buy the energy. 1/2
