U.N. court rules countries have duty to limit greenhouse emissions The court was asked to rule on whether nations are obligated under international law to protect the Earth’s climate from planet-warming emissions.

The technology is basically a form of linguistic averaging: it produces average (ie, mediocre) writing with no distinguishing elements, writing that could have been by anyone. That’s bad writing because what makes for good writing is that it involves actual thinking by a unique individual person.

What a life with no deadlines looks like

In the latest episode of EJIL:The Podcast!, Professor Paola Gaeta discussed the enduring controversies surrounding the immunity of high-ranking officeholders from states not party to the ICC and how the Court has dealt with these situations.
