Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract On 27 June 2023, Iran sued Canada in the International Court of Justice, alleging that the exception for state supporters of terrorism in Canada’s State Immunity Act violates customary international law. This article argues that Canada’s terrorism exception is consistent with customary international law. Although it is commonly assumed that state-supported terrorism is acta jure imperii and that a general and consistent practice of states accompanied by opinio juris is required to create an exception to state immunity, in fact, neither assumption is correct.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
