#Internationallaw Twitter - canvassing ideas - what do you think are the most important issues today - as practice areas go, in academia, across various sectors - themes you come across in your work? A bit vague but I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

U.S. law often treats corporations like natural persons. E.g., they have important constitutional rights and they can be criminally prosecuted. But if a foreign corp. is an agent of foreign gov., is it entitled to official immunity? @ProfBillDodge

In important sanctions-related litigation, I argue that central bank immunity protects Afghan assets in New York and that courts should refuse to order turnover of those assets to satisfy judgments against the Taliban. @ianmkysel @KeitnerLaw @S_R_Anders

A great post up by @zclopton on climate change litigation. State and local governments as plaintiffs, federal common law (!), SMJ, removal, and more.
