This is the first book to explore the concept of 'Grotian Moments'.
Named for Hugo Grotius, whose masterpiece De jure belli ac pacis
helped marshal in the modern system of international law, Grotian
Moments are transformative developments that generate the unique
conditions for accelerated formation of customary international
law. In periods of fundamental change, whether by technological
advances, the commission of new forms of crimes against humanity,
or the development of new means of warfare or terrorism, customary
international law may form much more rapidly and with less state
practice than is normally the case to keep up with the pace of
developments. The book examines the historic underpinnings of the
Grotian Moment concept, provides a theoretical framework for
testing its existence and application, and analyzes six case
studies of potential Grotian Moments: Nuremberg, the continental
shelf, space law, the Yugoslavia Tribunal's Tadic decision, the
1999 NATO intervention in Serbia and the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
