It is with great joy NYILR presents the last blog post of the year! Thank you to all of our hard working senior staff members for their dedication this year! The fantastic work of our senior staff members have kept NYILR on the cutting edge of pervasive topics in the international law community and helped students, scholars, practioners, and all people stay up to date on the most relevant issues in international law. With that being said, NYILR’s final blog post of the year comes at a perfect time. During law school finals season, most law students are at their most stressed and need to ensure they are prioritizing their health and well-being. Very aptly, this blog post is titled: “The International Guidelines For Wellbeing In Legal Education: A Holistic Attack Against Mental Health Issues in the Legal Profession” by Shania Vincent. It can be found on nyilr.com under the NYILR Blog! Here are some notes from the author to understand the significance of this current event in international law: “These guidelines stem from a 2021 report from the International Bar Association’s (IBA) Wellbeing Taskforce which explained how attorneys’ wellbeing is being impacted by their work. The IBA released these guidelines to help combat the jarring statistics from the report. The guidelines target law students in a holistic way to help the new generation of attorneys combat mental health issues by initially dissecting the mental health stigma in the legal field. Mental health is of the utmost importance in the legal field and with 41% of respondents in the survey saying they would not discuss their mental health issues with their employer out of fear of damaging their career, conversations about mental health is critical. As such, these guidelines are critical and present a step in the right direction for tackling the mental health crisis within the legal profession.”

Oh where has the time gone! Only two blog posts left! With our recent symposium being on the intersection between Climate Change and Human’s Rights issues, it’s only fitting to highlight a major component of that discussion! This blog post is titled: “The 2024 Climate and Clean Air Conference: A Great Showing of Collective Reaolve” by Camille Castle. It can be found on nyilr.com under the NYILR Blog! Here are some notes from the author to understand the significance of this current event in international law: “The 2024 Climate and Clean Air Conference brings together global leaders, scientists, and policymakers to address some of the urgent environmental threats we face as a global community. As climate change continues to be an increasingly salient challenge in our lives, to our environment, and the various ecosystems that exist worldwide, this conference continues to act as a crucial platform for collaboration and implementing solutions. As a writer, delving into the history, the substance, and the outcomes of this conference offered me a profound opportunity to engage with what I believe is one of the most crucial issues of my generation. The research, policy initiatives, and technological advancements discussed at the conference can help equip readers with the knowledge needed to inform and inspire others about the critical importance of environmental sustainability. Writing about the conference allowed me to contribute to raising awareness, promoting informed discourse, and advocating for tangible action towards a cleaner and healthier planet. Not only for my generation, but for future generations as well.”

Last week, the New York International Law Review (NYILR) held its 2024 Spring Symposium, International Law and the Fight of Our Lives: Responding to Climate Change and Protecting Human Rights. And with that, my tenure as Editor-in-Chief of NYILR came to a close. I cannot begin to express how thankful I am to have had the opportunity to lead this journal all year, but here it goes. Thank you to my predecessor, Jacob Wetter, and the previous Editorial Board of NYILR for entrusting me with a position I couldn't even foresee for myself a year ago. Thank you to my fellow Editorial Board members and all the Staff Members of NYILR. Everyone's hard work and talent inspired me to be the leader you all deserved. And thank you Professor Peggy McGuinness for all you do as NYILR's Faculty Advisor. I have learned so much under your guidance. I will take these lessons with me throughout my career. Congratulations to all of NYILR for a successful year! It's been an absolute honor serving as your 2023-2024 Editor-in-Chief.

Perfect for Earth Day: When a fabulous former student working for climate justice meets current students working for climate justice, great things happen! New York International Law Review.
On Friday, NYILR was thrilled to host our first symposium since before COVID! The symposium on “International Law and the Fight of Our Lives: Responding to Climate Change and Protecting Human Rights” was a riveting discussion on an intersectionality of two topics of law in Climate Change and Human Rights. The discussion was framed around legal strategies to achieve climate goals, ensure climate Justice for vulnerable groups, and explore the link between climate change and human rights. We would like to thank all of our speakers for attending the symposium and giving such amazing presentations on various topics on the intersectionality of Climate Change and Human Rights: Kathleen Schmid Rebecca Bratspies Christopher Dekki Paolo Galizzi Ulysses Smith Vivek Bhatt Malcolm Dalesa Dr. Maria Antonia Tigre Catherine Tinker NYILR would also like to thank Peggy McGuinness and Christopher J. Borgen for moderating the panels during the day and keeping a free flowing and active discussion amongst panelists and attendees of the symposium.

On Thursday, NYILR was happy to have our symposium reception dinner on the night before the amazing day of speakers presenting on the intersectionality of climate change and human rights. Dinner, drinks, and celebration were in order as a lot of hard work was put into this year’s symposium, the school year is coming to an end, and the changing of the guard between the outgoing and incoming editorial board is occurring. Also, NYILR was happy to present some internal awards to certain outstanding students on the journal. The awards and recipients are as follows: Highest Bluebook Score: Lena Vella Notable Note: Isaiah Williams Notable Blogpost: Samia Shell Exceptional Initiative: Schaina Petithomme Outstanding Mentor: Alexander Gonzalez NYILR Values Award: Faith B. After the awards were handed out key note speaker, Gonzalo Zeballos, a partner at BakerHostetler, specializing in cross-border litigation, addressed a room full of eager listeners and gave an amazing speech. What an amazing event before the symposium and thank you to the speakers and journal members who attended the event.

As the semester is coming to a close we only have three blog posts left! What an amazing year for NYILR blog posts it’s been! This blog post is titled: “The Doha Conference: UN Conference Concerning the Peace and Safety of Afghanistan” by Emily Trumble. It can be found on nyilr.com under the NYILR Blog! Here are some notes from the author to understand the significance of this current event in international law: “On February 18th, 2024, the United Nations led a meeting in Doha to discuss the ongoing humanitarian and human rights crisis happening in Afghanistan. Despite attempts from the UN, the Taliban refused to attend. The conference marked one instance of the global effort to try and intervene to alleviate the human rights violations that are continuing to occur in the nation.”
