We are proud to announce the release of a new book: Modern Military Justice, Cases and Materials by Dean Lisa Schenck. This text covers the modern military justice system, including recent changes!
On May 1, GW Law Professor Sean D. Murphy argued before the International Court of Justice (World Court) in The Hague, Netherlands, defending Ecuador in a case brought by Mexico concerning its Embassy in Ecuador.
“Mexico rushed to the World Court with its case, but failed to provide any opportunity for Ecuador to engage in negotiations about the Embassy incident, which is a prerequisite for the Court’s jurisdiction,” said Prof. Murphy.
Mexico filed the case in the aftermath of the entry into its Embassy by Ecuadorean police on April 5, so as to arrest an Ecuadorean national who had fled there after being tried and convicted in Ecuador for corruption and embezzlement of funds.
Prof. Murphy urged the World Court not to issue provisional measures of protection relating to Mexico’s Embassy in Mexico, as well as its properties and archives there, on the basis that the Court had no jurisdiction in the case brought by Mexico.
Appearing on behalf of Armenia, Prof. Murphy urged the World Court to find jurisdiction in a case that, among other things, concerns the flight in 2023 of more than 100,000 ethnic Armenians (including some 30,000 children) from their ancestral homeland in Nagorno-Karabakh.
On April 16, GW Law Professor Sean D. Murphy argued before the International Court of Justice (World Court) in The Hague, Netherlands, in favor the Court’s jurisdiction in a case that seeks to protect ethnic Armenians from racial discrimination by the Republic of Azerbaijan.
