José E. Alvarez, the Herbert and Rose Rubin Professor of International Law at New York University Law School and the faculty director of its US-Asia Law Institute, is a former President of the American Society of International Law and co-editor-in-chief of the American Journal of International Law. Prof. Alvarez is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Institut de Droit International, and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences.  He was awarded the American Society of International Law’s highest honor, the Manley Hudson Medal, in 2024.  His 7 books and more than 170 other publications address diverse aspects of international law and theory, including the norm-setting powers of international organizations (particularly those of the UN system), international criminal sanctions and other forms of accountability in the wake of mass atrocity, the challenges and prospects of the international investment regime, and the functions of international courts.  His most recent book, Women’s Property Rights Under CEDAW (co-authored with Judith Bauder) (OUP) argues that the CEDAW Committee’s interpretations of various rights contained in the Convention Against All Forms of Discrimination Against Women are potentially transformative, constitute a radical break from how property is protected under the international investment regime, and should inspire further research on comparative property rights jurisprudence.  He has been teaching a course on international organizations since he started teaching as an adjunct professor at Georgetown Law School in 1983.   For further information, including a full list of publications see https://its.law.nyu.edu/facultyprofiles/index.cfm?fuseaction=profile.overview&personid=30514.
