Professor Bismuth publishes article on NSA case in LeMonde.fr |
Wednesday, 30 October 2013 |
Professor Régis Bismuth authored an article in France's leading online newspaper LeMonde.fr, discussing the possibility for France to refer the case of the NSA's alledged surveillance program of its diplomacy to the International Court of Justice. In his article, Professor Bismuth explains that such a referral could be done under the Vienna Convention of 1961 that was ratified by France in 1970 and by the United States in 1972. He suggests that rather than marking a hostile reaction from France towards the United States, this move could be a way to reassert the rules of International Law regarding States's behavior toward one another within the international community, and therefore safeguard the legal framework that has been built over the decades to protect the rights of the States. |

I know each one of my professors personally and keep in touch with them. I don't think that I would ever have been as involved in my grad school if I had gone to a larger institution. |
