CIL Dialogues is now accepting submissions. We welcome submissions and symposia suggestions on any topic of international law, particularly those relating to the Asia Pacific. Please refer to our guidelines and form at cil.nus.edu.sg/blog/submissi…
This blog explores how the territorial tort exception to State Immunity applies to harm from autonomous vehicles, revealing incompatibilities and calling for evolutive interpretation and functional analysis to determine presence. cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/autonom…
To close, @Yusra_Suedi reiterates that the Court covers individual participation within its framework. The challenge is whether judges, counsel, and states will use them more intentionally. Listening requires no institutional revolution; just recognition. cil.nus.edu.sg/blog/symposia…
Replying to @Yusra_Suedi, to @gleiderignacio the Court's reluctance to engage individuals isn't fear but institutional design: judges socialised in state-centered systems. Yet pragmatic reform remains possible without radical institutional change. cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/the-ind…
The ICJ faces a moment with atrocity and climate cases where individuals are central but sidelined. In agreement with @Yusra_Suedi, @PillaiPriy asks: must strict state-centrism define the Court, or can it adapt without losing legitimacy in changing times? ow.ly/TKAH50ZMWFC
Judge Dire Tladi offers a more optimistic view of @Yusra_Suedi's thesis: individual participation in ICJ cases already exists. More standing might not serve international law better than deepening humanistic content of what courts actually apply. cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/the-ind…
Resolution 62/18 names reproductive violence for the first time, then ties it to genocidal intent. That routes forced pregnancy through a 1998 dictum no court has ever applied, one that works only if the victim community is patrilineal. cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/forced-…
Can private companies turn the common heritage of mankind into a contractual weapon? This post examines NORI, TOML and the Seabed Disputes Chamber’s first Orders—and what they mean for deep-sea mining before exploitation begins. cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/can-a-p…
The International Seabed Authority is brought to the Seabed Disputes Chamber by two of its contractors, following the Authority’s intention to investigate their possible non-compliance. Is it an attempt to undermine UNCLOS? Will they win? cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/nori-an…
This analysis by Shani Friedman @shanifr2 aims to provide initial assessment of the new legal framework on Safety for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) and possibly identify areas for further consideration. cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/a-new-i…
A new U.S. deep-sea mining application tests the limits of the UNCLOS system. This intervention explores how activities outside the ISA framework signal growing strain on multilateral governance of the Area. cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/another…
The case of The Gambia v. Myanmar before the ICJ represents a landmark opportunity for the doctrine of jus cogens. cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/the-gam…

Blog by @dliliansa | The torpedoing of IRIS Dena ~40nm off Sri Lanka is a stark reminder: naval hostilities may occur within the 200nm EEZ, making spillover into neutral EEZs a foreseeable reality. Is it time for Southeast Asia to voice its position? cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/armed-c…
The WTO Belongs to the Future — But How Do We Get There? 🌐From climate to AI, modern trade is outpacing its rules. Prof Gabrielle Marceau & Jian Ling Teo explore alternative rulemaking paths to address the WTO consensus deadlock. Read here cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/the-wor…
Ahead of its 31st session, issues on equitable benefit sharing remain on the table for the International Seabed Authority. This post reviews mechanisms under Arts. 82 and 140(2) of UNCLOS, exploring how they can achieve equity as distributive justice. cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/the-isa…
In this commentary, Alexandra Hofer argues that the US’s kidnapping of Venezuela’s and the weak responses from ‘the West’ expose how international law often masks power politics, now brought out in the open under President Trump. cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/what-tr…
From unlawful force to credible threats, the line is thinning fast. Greenland and Taiwan expose how security talk and inevitability hollow out Article 2(4). International law was meant to stop this before force is used. cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/threats…

We are pleased to share that our report from our @NUS_CIL -@NCLOS_UiT Dialogue 2025 on “Arctic Governance: Contemporary Trends in Shipping, Environment, and Security” is now published.

International law did not emerge from a single centre. This blog proposes a Silk Road methodology that rethinks international law as a product of transregional connectivity, cross-civilisational interaction, and long-term Eurasian legal histories. cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/interna…
Prof. Anghie closes this symposium with a characteristically generous and careful engagement with all contributors, while offering his crucial diagnosis of the current moment, one characterized by the rise of nationalist and annexationist imperialism. cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/respons…
