Book Discussion: Kevin Jon Heller, Nuremberg Military Tribunals and the Origins of International Criminal Law

Opinio Juris and EJIL: Talk! are happy to announce that we will be doing two joint book discussions. The first book we will be discussing is Kevin Heller’s Nuremberg Military Tribunals and the Origins of International Criminal Law (Oxford UP) and that discussion starts today. We have a fantastic lineup of discussants, to whom we are most grateful for their time and insight. On EJIL: Talk! it’ll be Michael Marrus (Toronto), Alexa Stiller (Bern), and Rob Cryer (Birmingham), and on Opinio Juris, David Glazier (Loyola, LA), Detlev Vagts (Harvard), Roger Clark (Rutgers-Camden), Devin Pendas (Boston College) and Lawrence Douglas (Amherst).   The discussion will start with a cross-posted introduction by Kevin on Monday, and end with his reply to the discussants on Friday. Both the discussants and our readers are of course welcome to join in in the comments.

Following discussion of Kevin’s book, Opinio Juris and EJIL:Talk! will host a joint discussion of Marko Milanovic’s book: Extraterritorial Application of Human Rights Treaties: Law, Principles and Policy (Oxford UP)
