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] The blog has been described as "the leading blog on international law" at Lawfare.[2] It is one of the two most widely read international law blogs, together with EJIL: Talk!.[3]
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.[4]
Notable contributors to the blog have included British-French lawyer, academic, and author Philippe Sands,[5] American lawyer and U.S. official Harold Hongju Koh,[6] and Diego García-Sayán, UN Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers.[7]
The blog is consistently cited in journal articles and research outputs.[8][9] Opinio Juris blog posts are often cited in reports by Human Rights Watch and other news media.[10][11][12][13][14]
