My article recovers transit as a structural principle of international law. Transit in this sense refers to the right of foreign persons, goods, and conveyances to cross sovereign territory when convenient or necessary to an international voyage.
Transit is what keeps straits open to navigation even where the bordering states claim sovereignty in their waters. Every major international infrastructure is protected by transit rights, save for one: the Internet.

I'm so grateful for the support of so many friends with this article, including @chup.blakereid.org @margotkaminski.bsky.social @anupamchander.bsky.social @lauradolbow.bsky.social @mailynfidler.bsky.social @tnarecha.bsky.social @ganeshsitaraman.bsky.social @zahrsaid.bsky.social & more!
Current "digital sovereignty" discourse holds that states can do as they please with internet infrastructure on their territory. I argue for extending transit principles to the Internet's infrastructure, with the strongest protections for core networks.

I'm very happy to announce the publication of my new article, "The Internet and the Lost Law of Transit," in @yalelawjournal.bsky.social. Check it out here: yalelawjournal.org/article/the-...
In his Article, @vivekdotca.bsky.social surveys four centuries of transit law, which requires states to permit passage across their territory. He distills transit law’s principles and makes the case for extending them to digital infrastructure and the internet.
