Dear All,

I recently published a paper in the Netherlands International Law Review on the largely neglected thus far Limited Public Interest Objection. The paper focuses on the standard of general principles of international law on public order and morality and how it has been applied by the Expert Panels. The analysis discusses whether and, if yes, how international law standards can be used to conceptualise and balance competing interests in the DNS, such as the availability of information online and economic considerations, on the one hand, and the accommodation of public interests concerns, on the other.
 
It might be of interest to you within the broader issue of the ICANN's relationship with (global) public interest considerations.

Please find the paper attached.
