Sienho Yee’s research interests are in public international
law (PIL), especially the jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice
(ICJ) and the structural questions of the international legal system. His articles have appeared in fine journals (List of publications) such as American
Journal of International Law, Columbia Law Review, European Journal of International
Law, German Yearbook of International Law, International and Comparative Law
Quarterly (ICLQ), and Max Planck Yearbook of United Nations Law, and some
have been used as reading materials in august universities and cited in good
casebooks, and cited, reviewed, abstracted, debated in good journals and used
in international litigation. His paper, “A Proposal to Reformulate Article 23
of the ILC Draft Statute for an International Criminal Court”, 19 Hastings
International & Comparative Law Review (1996), 529 (on the relationship
between the United Nations Security Council and the International Criminal
Court), has been considered by some to have contributed to “the origination of
the principle employed in” an important provision, Article 16, of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal
Court. Another paper, The Interpretation of “Treaties in Force” in
Article 35(2) of the Statute of the ICJ, 47
ICLQ (1998), 884 was reproduced by Germany
as Annex 31 to its Preliminary Objections filed in the Legality of Use of Force (Serbia and Montenegro v. Germany) case
before the International Court of Justice and discussed in that filing (pp. iv;
28) and was described as an “excellent
study” [sic] in Italy’s filing (pp. 11-12), and then was quoted in Judge Elaraby’s 8 separate
opinions
(Example 1; ICJ Reports 2004，pp. 262, 508, 653, 798, 944,
1093, 1240, 1385) in the related cases. His arguments were discussed several
times in
open court on 9 May 2006 in another related case at the ICJ (all
references). He contributed two papers on Article 40 (how to start a case) and
Article 45 (the President’s control over proceedings) of the ICJ Statute to the
book The Statute of the International
Court of Justice: A Commentary (Oxford University Press 2006). In a paper published in April
2001 he proposed the concept of the “international law of
co-progressiveness“ and coined this phrase to capture the spirit of the
current stage of international law development following the law of
co-existence and the law of co-operation. His paper on this concept has
been used as teaching materials internationally, featured in Xinhua
Digests and Renmin
University Reprints.
Innsbruck University invited him to give a special
lecture on the concept.
In 2004, Martinus Nijhoff
published his “collected works”: Towards an International Law of
Co-progressiveness, which is found in good company in fine syllabi. He
has also been invited to participate
in other world projects such as the Max
Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law and International Law in Domestic Courts.
His educational and professional qualifications include his Juris Doctor degree in 1993 from Columbia
Univ. Law School (Columbia Law Review student author) and membership in
the Bar of New York State (1994) and the Bar of the US Supreme Court (2004).
He was also a student in some other interesting places.
His experiences include being: (1) Editor-in-chief, Chinese Journal of International Law (Oxford) & Advisory
Board Member and formerly editor, International Law in
Domestic Courts (Oxford); (2) University
Professor and Chief Expert (full time since 08/2008), Wuhan University Institute
of International Law, Wuhan, China; (3) Project Chief Expert,

of the ILA Study Group on UN Reforms; and former Chair (2001-04),
ILA American Branch Committee on International Dispute Settlement; (5) former

Chamber, UN Int’l Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and to (b) Judge
Robert E. Cowen, US Court of Appeals, 3d Cir.; (6) former counsel, IMF Legal Dept; (7) associate, Sullivan & Cromwell, New York; (8) formerly, Professor of
International Law and Director of the Silk Road Institute of International Law,
Xi’an Jiaotong University, China; associate professor
of law at the University of Colorado School of Law; also as teacher of
international law in other interesting places.
He has given presentations/lectures at interesting
places including the “Very Hot Palace” at St Petersburg,
Russia during its 300th anniversary celebrations (Forum prorogatum
returns to the International Court of Justice) and the Old Library, All
Souls College, Oxford (on Opinio
Juris).
