Interactions Between International Law and Foreign Relations Law

This roundtable will consider the relationship between international law and foreign relations law.  The goal is not to rehash longstanding debates about the domestic status of international law in the U.S. legal system, such as about when treaties should be considered self-executing or whether rules of customary international law should be considered as having the status of federal common law.  Instead, the goal is to consider the ways in which international law and foreign relations law, as at least partially distinct bodies of doctrine and practice, intersect with and affect each other, or act as substitutes for each other.  The interactions could work in either of two directions:  international law could influence foreign relations law (inward effects), and foreign relations law could influence international law (outward effects).  There are a wide range of possible examples, encompassing issues such as the recognition of foreign governments, doctrines of judicial deference, treaty termination, and the use of military force.

The roundtable is being hosted by Professor Curtis Bradley (University of Chicago Law School) and Professor Kristen Eichensehr (University of Virginia Law School).

Roundtable time is 9:15 am - 4:30 pm (CST). Participation is by invitation only.
