In 2018, the JEP opened a case to investigate gross violations committed against the Nasa Indigenous people and their ancestral territory during armed conflict. In the proceedings before the JEP, Nasa authorities and lawyers, most of whom are fluent in Spanish, have been purposely using linguistic constructions in Nasa Yuwe, their native language. This article explores the purpose behind this linguistic practice and its potential implication for the JEP and international law. Through critical discourse analysis and socio-linguistic analysis of legal documents, the article outlines different strategic uses of language by an ethnic minority, such as the Nasa, to strengthen and broaden their rights.","PeriodicalId":42994,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge International Law Journal","volume":"51 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139150925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This practice presupposes a definition that can help to distinguish concepts of international law from other concepts used by participants in international legal discourse. This article draws attention to the great complexity of this issue. It starts from the assumption that all genre-specific concepts have an importance for the structuring and development of the branch of activity to which they are said to belong. It arrives at the conclusion that there is in fact not just one way of defining a concept of international law, but several. These definitions are inextricably tied to different conceptions of law. The article argues that it is important that international lawyers openly acknowledge this relationship between different theories of law and different conceptions of an international legal concept. Doing so will enhance the rationality of legal communication and the productivity of international legal discourse.","PeriodicalId":42994,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge International Law Journal","volume":"331 7‐8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139152331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet their precise impact on international law, especially treaty interpretation, remains underexplored. Treaty interpretation can be analogised to a game in which ‘players’ strategically deploy ‘cards’, usually principles of treaty interpretation, to persuade an ‘audience’ that their interpretation is correct. Leveraging this analogy, this paper offers a limited case study of how OpenAI’s ChatGPT, a prominent LLM-based chatbot, navigates the treaty interpretation game. In line with the existing research on ChatGPT’s legal abilities, the author concludes that ChatGPT competently plays the treaty interpretation game. This conclusion leads to a broader discussion of how LLM usage may impact international law’s development. The argument advanced is that, while LLMs have the potential to enhance efficiency and accessibility, biased training data and interpretative standardisation could reinforce international law’s dominant narratives. As such, this paper concludes with a cautionary note: the potential gains derived from LLMs risk being offset by disciplinary stagnation.","PeriodicalId":42994,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge International Law Journal","volume":"26 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139148118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the legal literature analysing how international law and institutions understand the role of translators, and the significance of translators’ work to the practice of international law, is still developing. This article contributes to this emerging body of work by analysing the discourse of international law on translation, interpretation and multilingualism. It identifies four key assumptions about translation and its role in the multilingual international legal order which repeatedly appear in the discourse of international law. Drawing on insights from other disciplines, including socio-linguistics and translation studies, it demonstrates ways in which these assumptions may be flawed, and explores the significance of this for the operation of international law. Ultimately, it argues that these ‘four myths’ skew the operation of international law in ways that empower some at the expense of others and call into question whether international law is truly ‘international’.","PeriodicalId":42994,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge International Law Journal","volume":"322 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139148942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The decision shows the difficulty of protecting choice of a language as part of freedom of expression both where the semantic import of that choice is undervalued when assessing the reasonableness of a State imposing a language choice and where the lawful exception for a State to restrict the freedom by mandating a language for its public interactions is unduly expanded.

This article addresses that gap. It explores the challenges a central concept to an international multilingual treaty, the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), presented to States Parties when interpreting and translating the CRPD’s novel central concept of disability (Article 1) and the implications this had for the implementation of the CRPD. The CRPD has been described as representing a ‘paradigm shift’ in thinking about disability in international human rights law. At the heart of this shift is a new understanding of the concept of disability. It moves away from a traditional conceptualisation situated in a medical discourse, towards a concept situated in a social contextual discourse, which views persons with disabilities as subjects with human rights equal to all persons. Little research has explored how the CRPD’s central concept translates beyond the anglophone world. This article employs a distinctive approach to legal translation as a cross-cultural transfer or interaction of discourses. It develops a detailed case study of Cyprus based on primary empirical work (semi-structured interviews and document analysis), then compares the challenges faced by Cyprus with the experiences of Greece and Bulgaria, and then considers these in relation to Iceland’s experiences. The article reveals linguistic and cultural challenges and shows their significance for the implementation of the CRPD. It highlights the risks of domestic misinterpretation and mistranslation and identifies three critical factors to reduce these risks for international multilingual treaties. The article contributes to our understanding of the significance of domestic translation of international multilingual treaties and the implications of this for treaty implementation and helps to open a new research agenda around this.","PeriodicalId":42994,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge International Law Journal","volume":"20 s1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139150231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The training of State officials is often delivered by an international organisation, agency or secretariat as part of the capacity-building programmes required by the treaty that each administers. Yet, of the increasingly urgent calls for international cooperation to address climate change, biodiversity crises, public health threats and plastic pollution, among other issues, not one can be addressed by a single treaty or international organisation. The practical, operational and theoretical challenges of coordination deserve more attention by international lawyers. This is especially important given the development of pandemic-era remote learning technologies and the proliferation of e-learning opportunities. Disparities in resources, and the categorisation of developing and developed countries, further complicates the production and dissemination of knowledge. This article focuses on capacity-building, technical assistance and training, and includes the author’s experience with collaborative training initiatives in ocean governance, to which United Nations agencies, the World Bank and academic partners contribute. The article describes the high stakes of integrative initiatives, the outreach by international organisations and the interaction between regimes. It seeks to account for collaborative capacity-building activities and the adaptive role of participants within the system of international law.","PeriodicalId":42994,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge International Law Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49070739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Public health emergency measures issued in response to the global outbreak, such as port closures, the suspension of search-and-rescue operations and privatised pushbacks at maritime borders, have exposed fundamental weaknesses in the international protection regime. With Italy and Malta in profile, this article examines how the elevation of COVID-19 to a national security threat has occasioned a shift in the migration and security discourse, challenging the very existence of the non-refoulement principle’s non-derogable character. In support of conceiving the principle as absolute, the article reviews how the denial of protections under non-refoulement has contributed to the scale and gravity of the present health crisis, forcing mixed migrant arrivals to either stay in overcrowded camps or in protracted situations of distress at sea. The article thereby concludes that the framing of migration as a health security issue appears to only breed greater insecurity.","PeriodicalId":42994,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge International Law Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47001165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It focuses in particular on the emergent climate governance regime and the Paris Agreement as a potential gold standard for a consensus-driven international legal order. It argues that, far from being a poor imitation of a legal system, international law may actually represent the state of the art and act as an exemplar for municipal legal systems.","PeriodicalId":42994,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge International Law Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45701823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
