What does de-dollarisation mean in practice? How does it relate to global law and governance?

My article 'Dollar Dominance, De-Dollarization, and International Law' is now out in JIEL. I present dollar dominance and de-dollarisation as competing legal institutions.

This week, despite Venezuela's 2012 denunciation of the American Convention, the IACtHR held that Venezuela remains bound. Why? Because Guaidó re-ratified the Convention, retroactive to 2013, in 2019. The catch? Maduro was incumbent before and after Guaidó, and, arguably, during Guaidó.

An inspiring opinion for our challenging times. Law can’t do it all nor can courts. But they can do more than many give them credit for.

Here the ICJ takes the development of climate change law fully seriously. @justinauriburu.bsky.social & I get into the central prob of sources of law below 👇

There is, undoubtedly, much to say about the ICJ’s landmark advisory opinion on Obligations of States in respect of Climate Change. In this post, Julian and I begin by unpacking the Court’s treatment of the sources of international law governing climate change and how those sources interact.

Adiós, Francisco. Un papa humilde, compasivo y un agente de cambio, que habló incansablemente en favor de los migrantes, los pobres y la destrucción planetaria. La tristeza y, más importante, su legado son enormes.

Muere el papa Francisco a los 88 años

Tras décadas de liderazgo conservador, Francisco intentó redefinir el rumbo de la Iglesia católica, haciendo hincapié en la inclusión y la atención a los marginados por encima de la pureza doctrinal.
