摘要:This Note examines the evidentiary standards and procedures created for and used in the I.G. Farben II. Because the I.G. Farben Trial was not bound by technical rules of evidence, the three judges on the tribunal had broad discretion to develop evidentiary rules and standards. This Note argues that the I.G.

摘要:In this paper, I explore how international legal scholarship about war, written at a time of war, ought to read. Can-and should-we demand doctrinal rigor and analytical clarity, while also expecting that scholarship makes us feel something, that it connects us to the author, that it captures the intimacy and emotion that human beings experience in relation to war? I use two eras of international legal scholarship on war-namely, the Vietnam era and the War on Terror-to illustrate key moments in...
