I know less than zero about international law, but I happened on this opinion granting a preliminary injunction in Armenia v Azerbaijan that I found of interest. 1/

A lot of it is familiar to me as an American lawyer. The factors are almost the same as what we would think about. But the subject matter is so different — is the destruction of cultural patrimony irreparable harm, for example? /2

Have to say I loved this part of the injunction! I wish you could just order people not to be a pain in the butt.

Also thought it was interesting that counsel was a mix of international law profs, US biglaw, and UK Barristers.

So this anti-racial discrimination agreement the suit is based on is pretty interesting, but I have a feeling the United States is not a signatory to this provision
