Professor Bismuth publishes article on NSA case in LeMonde.fr

Wednesday, 30 October 2013

bismuth_regis_100x120.jpgProfessor 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.

quote leftIn addition to the many benefits of studying international relations in a highly specialized program, located in a dynamic city that fosters learning the discipline, my overall experience at AGS has been enhanced by an outstanding administrative staff that is diligent, professional and, above all, friendly. Their tireless efforts are key in making the experience of AGS students positive. I have done my best to thank them with good French desserts and bad American humor!quote right
