Opinio Juris is a blog dedicated to the informed discussion of international law by and among academics, practitioners and legal experts, published independently in cooperation with the International Commission of Jurists.[1] It is one of the leading international law blogs.[2]
Background
[edit]The blog was started in 2005 by Chris Borgen (St. John’s University); Peggy McGuinness (St. John’s University); and Julian Ku (Hofstra). Kevin Jon Heller (University of Copenhagen) joined in 2006.
In 2007, State Department Legal Adviser John Bellinger became a guest blogger for a week. This marked the first time that a US government official blogged in an official capacity on international law.[3]
Notable contributors to the blog have included British-French lawyer, academic, and author Philippe Sands,[4] American lawyer and U.S. official Harold Hongju Koh,[5] and Diego García-Sayán, UN Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers.[6]
Reception
[edit]The blog is consistently cited in journal articles and research outputs.[7][8] Opinio Juris blog posts are often cited in reports by Human Rights Watch and other news media.[9][10][11][12][13]
