User:David91

Per a request on Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians, I'm trying to find out if anyone knows what happened to User:David91. David91 was part of Wikipedia:WikiProject International law and he stopped editing around April 12, 2006, when he was admitted to the hospital for some tests. He possibly lived in Singapore (likely in or near Ang Mo Kio which he edited 3 times--but with enough detail to suggest a strong familiarity with the place), and was probably the oldest Wikipedian at the age of 94 (based on a reference from 2003 when he said he was 91). Based on his numerous contributions in law it is possible he was a retired lawyer of some kind. He also contributed to linguistics, sociology, and science fiction articles. In all, he made nearly 5000 edits. He evidently was also a well-respected member of other Internet communities he was involved in during his retirement. Any information on David91 would be appreciated. Thanks.--Alabamaboy 14:49, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Project directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 22:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 23:24, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

International Court of Justice advisory opinion on the Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons

I've done quite a bit of work on the above article, as a first step towards a project of mine to add information about legality to articles to do with nuclear weapons. I was wondering whether a member (or some members) of the International Law wikiproject, who are better informed than I am, could help out with the following:

(1) Rating the article as it now stands (A-Class, B-Class, or whatever); (2) Providing a to-do list of improvements for the article; (3) Editing the article, adding any information they are able to.

Also, if any of you would like to vote for the article in the Article Improvement Drive, that would be great too!

Thanks, --Jim (Talk) 10:07, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello

Hello all, I am new to this project. I added one article about international law, United States v. Curtiss-Wright, added this information to the Curtiss-Wright article and also added information (and continue to work on) Peremptory norm.

International law articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the International law articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

Leaflet for Wikiproject International Law at Wikimania 2014

Hi all,

My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.

One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.

This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:

• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film

• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.

• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.

• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____

• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost

The deadline for submissions is 1st July 2014

For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject X is live!

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{Transclude lead excerpt}}.

The discussion about this can be found here.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Background

On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.

So far, 84 editors have joined.

If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.

If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Thank you.    — The Transhumanist   10:58, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

A new newsletter directory is out!

A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Scopes

To start off, I've made a list of topics in international law, which I suggest could outline the scope of this WikiProject. At the moment most of the articles in the list are quite brief or non-existent. That an international and multilingual encyclopedia like Wikipedia lacks a comprehensive and consistent section on international law is a situation which should be rectified.

With some refinement, this list could also provide the basic framework for a template.

I've taken the first steps to set up this project. Please feel free to dig in and improve. Yeu Ninje 04:07, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

I looked at public international law back in the 1960s and have noticed the need for there to be more coherent material on Wiki. I was going to start adding one or two conceptual pages which I know will not have changed that much over the years when I've finished the current set of legal page rewrites. The Conflict material is an almost complete draft save for Trusts. If anyone can add that for me, I would appreciate it since I do not have much time at present. Equally, if you have a most desired list of pages, I will prioritorise accordingly. David91

Laws of War are not entirely synonymous with international humanitarian law. There is IHL that is not related to wars; and there are laws of war that can't really be characterized as humanitarian in nature. From what I can tell, the distinction is a matter of ongoing debate among international lawyers and scholars in the field. --Leifern 13:57, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

{{LawUnref}}

Note - I have created a modification of the {{unreferenced}} template for law articles - {{LawUnref}}, which puts articles into Category:Law-related articles lacking sources. I have substituted this for the regular unref template on some law articles in Category:Articles lacking sources. Please use this as a resource to note law-related articles that require references. Cheers! BD2412 T 15:23, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

It might be useful to compile a list of commonly used references within the project space as a starting point for new articles. I find the judicial atlas a great starting point for articles on EU law and judicial co-operation within the EU. Anyone got any other sources? --TimPope 20:17, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Proposed infobox for treaties

I'll design it later, but for now I propose that it include the following elements:

  • Name of treaty
  • Dates of execution, e.g., drafted, signed, executed, went into effect
  • Contracting parties
  • Mediating parties or organizations
  • Type of treaty, e.g., peace, trade, environmental, etc.
  • International organizations involved, if relevant

Anything else? --Leifern 14:06, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

You might want to add offical languages and depository nation/organization. And for practical reasons, number of signatories might be more useful for large multilateral treaties rather than a full list, e.g. NPT, the UN Charter etc. 180+ countries do take up a lot of space (it could link to a seperate list). Just a thought. ––Cybbe 14:19, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
I just looked at the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea article, and the list of signatory nations didnt look too bad. --Cybbe 14:27, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Here's a first cut: Template:Infobox Treaty. Since the mediating party is less relevant unless it is also the same as the depository party, I took that out. I suggest that as a matter of usage, we either indicate a link to a list, or a description when they are mulilateral treaties. We should probably try this out on a couple of treaties to see how it works. --Leifern 14:41, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
I have implemented it on Convention of Constantinople and Convention of Moss --Leifern 14:59, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Nice, very nice. bd2412 T 16:40, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Great job, Leifern. Yeu Ninje 22:42, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Citation and article titles on ICJ cases

A few cases are on List of International Court of Justice cases. If we are to build up a database of international law cases then perhaps we need some standard for naming and citing cases.

ICJ Cases are conventionally referred to by subject matter as well as by name. For example:

  1. Nicaragua case (Merits)
  2. Case Concerning Military and Paramilitary Activities in and against Nicaragua (Nicaragua v United States of America) (Merits) [1984] ICJ Reports 392.

I suggest that within the text we use the first citation. For example, "in the Nicaragua case (Merits), the ICJ found that the United States was in breach of its obligation under customary international law not to intervene in the affairs of another State." The more detailed second style of citation can be provided in endnotes, as in Sources of international law.

At the moment the case is entitled Nicaragua v. United States, which could potentially be problematic if there were many cases between the two countries. By contrast, LaGrand case (Germany v. USA) (Request for the Indication of Provisional Measures) is simply entitled LaGrand case. Do we need to standardise the article titles? Yeu Ninje 03:21, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

ILO Conventions

Hi. I've started creating the International Labour Organization Conventions (as part of Wikiproject Organized Labour). They're in Category:International Labour Organization Conventions, and I was thinking of adding the cat as a sub-cat of Category:International law. Does that make sense, or am I off base on the relevance of the Conventions. --Bookandcoffee 03:30, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

That makes sense. Thank you for your efforts. David91 03:42, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

UNOmbud

Could someone take a look at UNOmbud? It is described as an international organization but there's only 50 hits for the term on Google and they all point back to Wikipedia. Does this organization actually exist? Perhaps it's a typo? Someone with more expertise than I, please check it out. Pimlottc 21:35, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Bricker Amendment

For some time I have been working on revisions to the Bricker Amendment article. I finally posted it and have a PR at Wikipedia:Peer review/Bricker Amendment/archive1. I'd welcome comments. I know all those references may seem extravagant, but I'm hoping to get it as an FA and those voters want lots of footnotes. PedanticallySpeaking 16:23, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Westphalian sovereignty and Contingent sovereignty needs attention

  • These articles were apparently created as part of a cover history for User:Liliana Dioguardi, who has been suspected to be in the employ of a Kremlin propaganda effort - specifically in her creation and maintenance of the International Council for Democratic Institutions and State Sovereignty article in support of the public legitimacy of that organization. The prominent international news and business magazine The Economist magazine has reported that this organization is likely a front for a Kremlin-sponsored disinformation effort, and has specifically identified the ICDISS article and User:Liliana Dioguardi as part of this effort. See these articles[1][2] and the ICDISS article talk page[3].
  • While these articles seem to be legitimate subjects, Dioguardi is responsible for all, or almost all their content - this makes these articles suspect for NPOV reasons.. I urge Wikipedians with a political theory/history/international relations/international law background to help build these articles beyond their sad "cover story" beginnings. Bwithh 05:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

The very article of your namesake!

I think the article on international law could use some work. It reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 07:26, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Diplomatic incidents

Category:Diplomatic incidents has very recently come into being, and has a mere two articles located within it. As an active member of WikiProject Military history, and someone interested in politics and diplomacy in general, I have for some time wondered about better categorization of those events which, though not military in nature, have crucial effects upon diplomacy. There are already complex trees of categories for terrorism, state terrorism, assassinations, and the history of foreign relations of many separate countries, but I still think it may prove useful, and pertinent, to create, and populate a complex of categories for diplomatic incidents, and particularly for events which, even when not directly "military" or "diplomatic" in nature, have profound effects upon those spheres. (Some examples include the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, the USS Maine, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, the kidnapping of several Israeli soldiers last year, and the Namamugi Incident, just to name a few.) Thoughts, ideas, suggestions? How might we best label these articles so as to indicate their roles in spurring greater diplomatic or military events? Thank you. LordAmeth 17:38, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Additionally, do concepts in diplomacy which may only be customary fall under this Project? Most of the articles on these topics are in poor shape, and they would certainly benefit from the sustained standardization and attention of a WikiProject. -Fsotrain09 04:50, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm afraid I'm not a member of this Project, and was just looking for some help and guidance. I, personally, would very strongly second your notion that customary law be covered, as it's an important element of international relations and diplomacy, and widens out "international law" to a much broader set of concepts. Just because something is outside of the Western concept of formal treaties, embassies, etc, doesn't mean that it's not an interesting, important, and valid form of international law. LordAmeth 09:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Uti possidetis and Uti Possidetis Juris

I am not a lawyer, and I hope I have found a proper place for a request. After discovering the two articles Uti possidetis and Uti Possidetis Juris, reading talk and checking links and interwikis, I tagged them for merger and also merged them later.

Citation template for ICTY documents?

Does a citation template for documents of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia already exist somewhere? If so, can someone advise me where to find it? If not, would an editor who is knowledgeable in these things be willing to create one or assist me in creating one? The most-referenced articles should be indictments and decisions, but some may want to use transcripts and other documents as well. The ICTY web site might be helpful in this endeavor.

United States Constitution and source documents for modern constitutions

There's been a request for expansion at Talk:United_States_Constitution#Amerocentrism_and_the_absence_of_any_discussion_of_the_document.27s_international_impact, focusing on the lack of coverage in that article of the United States Constitution's role as a internationally-relevant historical document. If anyone here is familiar with the subject matter, we'd greatly appreciate being pointed to accessible sources concerning its role, the impact of its immediate precursors in the American revolution and its sales pitch on the drafting process undergone by other nations. Got anything? MrZaiustalk 16:29, 9 February 2009 (UTC) PS: The same sort of topic, if pertinent, might also provide a way to expand United Nations Charter with more prose related to the document's history and impact. As it is, the little stub contains almost no encyclopedic text. On a related note, even Magna Carta's section is in dire need of attention, although the topic has at least been breached there.

Articles that WikiProject: International Law template has been added too

I've editted and consolidated the last three sections I've added, regarding ex post facto law, crimes against humanity, and Christopher Weearmantry, into a single for a list of articles as added. I haven't seen much activity on the main page for the project except for people adding themselves into the project and I still don't see a more appropriate place to list new additions for consideration by project members (or for them to note it doesn't belong here.

For now, do as I've done. List the article name you added the template to, give an explanation, if you feel the need and sign right on that line.

Wikipedia still lacks an International Legal Theory page. The subsection in Public International Law is a good historical overview but does not include the most recent approaches. Approaches to International Law deals with the newer critical theories cryptically: it would be unclear for a reader unfamiliar with the topic; it glosses over the various nuances within the various approaches; and does not even identify the main proponents of each approach. Perhaps the solution would be to create a new page on International Legal theory, covering both the classical theories and the critical ones, and separate pages for each theory giving greater details on their methods and explanatory models. --Bonifacius 07:37, 15 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by BonifaciusVIII (talk • contribs)

International Law WikiProject Banner

It appears to me that the "International Law" banner does not include the following:

  • "Class" Rating.
  • "Importance" Rating.

Is it suppose to appear like this or is it a mistake by the creator of the banner? Adamdaley (talk) 02:09, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

I can't find article assessment pages for it, so I'm guessing it doesn't have it. I could set that up for you if you want. However, I think that everything relivant to international law is also going to be relivant to international relations, so I would recommend that this project do its assessments via a parameter in the banner of WP:WikiProject International relations, like how the WP:WikiProject United Nations does now (see the banner on Talk:UNESCO for an example). —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 23:44, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Merge of Mandate Palestine into British Mandate for Palestine

In 2010, the article "Mandate Palestine" was forked out of "British Mandate for Palestine" article(member of wikiproject international relations), becoming an identical article since. Due to the almost complete overlap (technically both articles describe a former Mandatory geopolitical entity of Palestine under British rule, which has only one article in other languages) and ongoing confusion (some insisted that "British Mandate for Palestine" is more the name of a 1922 document and not a country), i propose to merge Mandate Palestine into British Mandate for Palestine, and make an additional article named British Mandate for Palestine (document) to prevent confusion between the document and the geopolitical entity.

Founders of Institut de Droit International

I have added this project's banner to the following pages: Pasquale Stanislao Mancini, Emile de Laveleye, Tobias Michael Carel Asser, James Lorimer, Gustave Moynier, Jean Gaspar Bluntschli, Charles Calvo, Gustave Rolin-Jaequemyns, and David Dudley Field. These are all listed as founders of the Institut de Droit International. Two other founders, Wladimir Besobrassof and Augusto Pierantoni, do not yet have articles as yet. All of the articles that do exist are either stub or start class. Some include information on the subject's involement/place in international law. Some do not, but I added the banner in the belief that the founders of the institut should be reviewed by this project for that reason alone, and because they almost certainly had separate accomplishments in the field. I knew nothing of any of these subjects until I read the article on the institut, anyone with knowledge or the ability to obtain it, please review the articles. IMHO (talk) 22:17, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

It's been a while since the original post, and I only had time to skim, but I certainly agree the article subject falls under this WP as well as IR and UN.

Please reply on my talk page.

Thanks, Skunkmaster 15:52, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Took a long time to reply, but when I checked, there was only an IR banner. I have set the law tag in the banner to yes so that it is now an IR/IL banner. At the very least, diplomatic immunity falls squarley within this WP. However, what is properyl withing diplomacy has been a subject of IL scholars. Strangely, there is a main article on diplomatic immunity that had an IR banner, but again didn't have the law tag set. I set that banner to IR/IL as well and set importance to high (if someone else thinks tops, I won't disagree). IMHO (talk) 20:09, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Organ trade article

Hello! I'm a Rice University undergraduate in the Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities program. I am proposing to add the current Organ trade article to the WikiProject International Law because I believe the issue of organ trade, specifically illegal organ trading, has a growing importance in international law due to globalization. Organ trafficking now happens across and within nations, so to analyze and tackle this issue from an international law perspective would help address the issue. I plan to expand the current article to include some of the global measures already taken against organ trafficking while including proposed solutions by scholars. Specifically, I am focusing on actions taken by the World Health Organization (WHO) and responses to the Declaration of Istanbul on Organ Trafficking and Transplant Tourism, which calls for major legislative frameworks in each country to tackle organ trafficking. I would love to hear any comments/suggestions on this topic, and look forward to working with everyone soon!

Daniellam91 (talk) 08:45, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

I just read your post here and taken a brief look at the page Organ trade. I agree that it is of interest to this Wikiproject and that it falls within its scope. Even without the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Dignity of the Human Being with regard to the Application of Biology and Medicine entering into force (I am relying on that wikipage being correct), it is clearly and issue and discussed as a topic of international law. I will be adding the IR/UN/IL banner to the talk page. Also, just on a quick Google search, I came across some articles that you may find useful- Organ and Human Trafficking Intersect at Policy Innovations and a Library of Congress article titled Council of Europe / United Nations: Organ Trafficking Treaty Proposed. Both of these came up in a simple "treaty organ trafficking" on Google.

The Rwandan Genocide

Hello, I plan to expand the article on the Rwandan Genocide. My plan to improve the article consists of the following:

  • Adding a Gacaca Court section
  • Editing the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) section
  • Editing the War Rape section (and renaming it as Gender Targeted Crimes Against Humanity)

Improving the Rwandan Genocide article plays an important part to this WikiProject especially since the future of the Rwanda lies on the justice system and decisions from international organizations- particularly the United Nations. In the year of 2012, the Gacaca Courts were closed (BBC News article) and the United Nations announced that the ICTR will close by the end of 2014 (UN Centre News article). Although the Rwandan Genocide page is detailed and has many links to related pages, it does not have a section for the Gacaca Court, which played a major part in the justice system after the genocide. I also do not understand why the article does not go over the closing of the Gacaca Courts and planned closing of the ICTR in detail. I plan to read reports from the ICTR and the UN related to the subject matter and read scholarly articles on the ICTR and the Gacaca Courts.

As for the "War Rape" section, there is a concern in the Talk page over the section being overwhelmed by just one source. I plan to add two scholarly articles that could provide a balance. (Article 1) (Article 2). I think collecting relevant information from the two articles will help to improve the section. Also, I think that changing the title of this section, "War Rape," to "Gender Targeted Crimes Against Humanity" would be better in explaining the subject. I feel like the title is too broad in relation to the Rwandan Genocide. The term "war rape," as the word "war" suggests, refers to such crimes during war. War and genocide are not the same, and so, I think that the title should be changed. I also plan to find evidence of how international law carries out its role in handling gender targeted crimes against humanity.

Overall, I plan to add the article in where I feel it lacks the most. In expanding the article, I plan to use scholarly articles to find relevant information that will contribute to my plan and overall to this WikiProject.

I would greatly appreciate feedback to further improve my plan for the Rwandan Genocide article. Please post a message to me on my Talk page. Thank you! MinjKim (talk) 09:35, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

I just read your post here and taken a brief look at the pages you list, with a slightly more reading on the Gacaca courts. Very interesting subject. And well within the scope of this Wikiproject both for their jurisidiction over IL crimes and issues over whether the courts themselves violate IL. I left a post on areas that should be expanded, just from the glance I took, in the Talk Page.
I've added this WP's banner to the Gacaca court page and War rape page, and updated from the old banner in the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda page. I can see how the Gacaca court article may have been missed, but it's sad that we missed the War rape article. Aside from my questions/suggestions in the Gacaca court page, I'd suggest not changing the war rape page name yet. I admit to little knowledge in this area, but at least from the IL perspective, if the noted discussion is under the title war rape, the article name shouldn't be changed. If there is some discussion about changing the focus/name, but it's not yet beyond a minority discussion, add a section on that within war rape.

Contribution by wikipedians knowledgeable about international law would be useful at 2012 Italian shooting talk page.

Due to events development, international law is becoming a crucial issue for 2012 Italian shooting in the Arabian Sea article, which relates to the Enrica Lexie incident. On relevant talk page a handful of editors are debating on subjects most of them know very little about, such as Maritime law, Sovereign immunity, etc.
As a consequence, some inputs by somebody more knowledgeable on such subjects would certainly help a lot.
Thanks in advance LNCSRG (talk) 18:27, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

I just now read your post. I have modified the WP:International Relations banner on the relevant talk page to include International Law. It looks like there's at least some sources dealing with the issue from an IL perspective already, though I'm not clear about self-"posts" from "The View from Above", even if it is maintained by the Denver Journal of International Law. I don't know that I can add much myself, but hopefully someone can.

I was afraid of that. In my spare time, I am trying to improve articles on older subjects and don't keep up to well with current events. May I suggest Wikipedia:WikiProject International relations? They are still listed as active. I know at least one of their members has been contributing to Wikipedia in general recently, and he had previously shown some interest in WP:IL, and, at any rate, the diplomatic aspects of the issue are as involved as the legal matters, and WP:IR certainly deals with the former.

Proposal for New Wiki Article Titled "The Prosecution of Gender-Targeted Crimes"

Hello, after editing the "War Rape" section of the "Rwandan Genocide" article and renaming it as "Gender-Targeted Crimes," I have decided to expand beyond the Rwandan situation of gender-targeted crimes and look at the justice system of such crimes in the international and domestic (as in U.S.) perspectives. The class that I am doing the Wikipedia projects for has re-emphasized the importance and graveness of gender-targeted crimes and the lack of necessary action in carrying out the prosecution for these crimes.

To provide evidence of the graveness of the gender-targeted crimes, I have included some statements and the sources below:

  • Between 200,000 and 500,000 women are estimated to have been raped during the Rwandan Genocide. (Elbe, Stefan. 2002. "HIV/AIDs and the Changing Landscape of War in Africa." International Security, 27(2): 159-177), and it took the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), which was created to manage trials of the crimes committed, 3 years to proceed its first rape indictment (Haddad, Heidi. 2011. “Mobilizing the Will to Prosecute: Crimes of Rape at the Yugoslav and Rwandan Tribunals.” Human Rights Review. 12(1): 109-132.)
  • In the U.S. 700,000 rapes are estimated to occur every year, but the actual number of cases may be up to fifty times the reported cases (Seager 2008).
  • Marital rape is not recognized as a crime in most countries (Seager, Joni. 2008. The Penguin Atlas of Women in the World. 4th ed. New York: Penguin Books. ).
  • Although the Violence Against Women Act, which was passed in 1994, began providing services for women facing violence, but there are limits on gender-targeted crimes reaching the Supreme Court and many of the violence cases are left for the state governments to oversee (Resnick, Judith. 2001. "Categorical Federalism: Jurisdiction, Gender, and the Globe." The Yale Law Journal. 111(3): 619-680. ).

The evidence above suggests that there is a great lack of prosecuting the crimes. Not even in the U.S. is there a efficient, working system. To solve this problem, the obvious thing to do is to find justice for the violence- to improve and reform the prosecution of the crimes. It's an issue that all nations need to focus attention to.

For the new article, which will be titled, "The Prosecution of Gender-Targeted Crimes," I plan to have information on the types of gender-targeted crimes (such as rape and domestic violence), the International Aspect (tribunals, the International Criminal Court), Domestic Aspect (United States), and Suggested Solution section. This is just a basic plan for now as I plan to develop a detailed outline when I do more research and get advice.

I have found scholarly articles that provide background information on the prosecution of the gender-targeted crimes. From a brief overview of the articles, it seems that much more needs to be done in regards to improving the prosecution system. I plan to read the articles in detail to gather more information.

I worry that the article may sound like an essay and less of an encyclopedia entry. Does anybody have some advice on avoiding that problem? Additionally, I would love to have feedback on my proposal for the new article. Any advice that would help improve the plan for my new entry would be much appreciated! Thank you.

Corfu Channel Case

Hi all, I'm in the process of rewriting and expanding the article on the Corfu Channel Case, which was the ICJ's first case. I was wondering if someone more versed than I would care to take a look, maybe make some recommendations or otherwise help bring it stylistically in line with other IL articles. Expansion has gone well so far (according to the DYK checker up to about 3780 words from 125 words since the end of June), but I could use some outside input. Particularly the section on the case history feels like a mess. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 22:22, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Only an initial impression, but much has been added and to the good it seems. I changed a little in the lead/lede. One thing was verb tense. I noticed there a lot of present tense where past tense should probably be used. Again, only a short glimpse so far, but the impression I get is that this is a law making case from a law making court, which is never the case. The tone in that are may need to be adjusted. LOVE the addition of pictures, the organization box (maybe don't need to link names twice and we so desperately need to get an article on de Visscher up) and use of quotes (can't say anything about the specific quotes chosen yet, but the format looks nice). Your work has gone well beyond making the article worth while as a stand alone (compared to it's status at the beginning of this year). IMHO (talk) 03:35, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the comments! I'm definitely trying to figure a good way to approach the issue of the court's authority. Might the problem you're describing stem from some of the more active language being used in the article? That the court awarded damages, that it held a particular conclusion? As to the quotations... I agree, they don't add a lot and can be trimmed back, though I enjoy some of them (the Gardiner quote about the move from the Security Council to the ICJ and the ABA Journal quotation). My goal is to get this to be our first ICJ case FA (or at least the second ICJ case GA). —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 06:58, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
p.s., Charles de Visscher is now an article. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 13:53, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
I'll have to check the de Visscher article at some point. To explain, no, the court does award damages and I have seen the usage in the article, but holding a conclusion can work. I commented more toward the Common Law practice of precedent. The ICJ does not make law. If it recognizes it, it is based on the evidence of 1) treaty, 2) custom, 3) general principles of the laws of civilized nations. Generally, the laws it recognizes do continue to be recognized, but, to repeat, it never makes law. As to the quotes, I actually liked the look of them. There may be a lot, but the format was still nice. I was just remarking that I had not actually read them, along with the whole of the opinions to determine if they were the best ones to place there. As you may be able to see, I'm only on infrequently and sadly, this WP has not been very active in years. It's good you got peer review started though and, again, that you put this much effort to improve the article in the first place. IMHO (talk) 19:52, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

I have requested a formal peer review for this article. Please see the peer review page. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 11:00, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Notability of treaties

There is a discussion of notabilities of treaties and other international agreements going on at Wikipedia talk:Notability (law)#Treaties and other international agreements.
