As a complement to the Facebook page of ICJ IUSMUN we are opening this blog. Taking advantage of the bigger space, we are develloping bigger articles about a selected member, current or past on the ICJ, members of the International Law Comission, Secretary Generals and people and organizations who have left their footprint on the UN and the International Comunity. We, as students of law and international relations will analize its consequences, trying with limited capacties but great effort. Every week, from now on and until november (when IUSMUN comes to date) we are looking to the live and work of a judge at the ICJ and a member of the ILC and incidentally will approach organizations and individuals relevant or part to the UN. We will also include our opinion on the latest news and of historical events.
We hope you will like this blog, and if you have any dissenting opinion, commentary, critic, or just want to say something on any trend, make us know, send us a message or an email, if you would like to have someone analized on our weekly sections or as an extraodinary topic we will consider it.
If you are interested in participating in the ICJ simulation at IUSMUN or at any other of our comitees, go check www.derecho.unam.mx/iusmun or communicate with us, we will be very glad.
