I have been helped greatly by the research assistance of Ana Guzman and conversations with colleagues Clark Freshman and Bernard Oxman. Errors and omissions, however, are mine.

16 Interestingly, arguments in favor of relaxed “standing“ in international settings run against the grain of the now well-established body of skeptical writing about standing within United States law—writing critical of relaxed standing, see, e.g., Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555 (1992); of conventional modes of framing the standing inquiry, see, e.g., Richard Stewart, The Reformation of American Administrative Law, 88 Harv. L. Rev. 1667 (1975); or of the usefulness of the concept as such, see, e.g., Steven Winter, The Metaphor of Standing and the Problem of Self-Governance, 40 Stan. L. Rev. 1371 (1988).

17 Of course, considerations like standing may be pertinent in considering the proper form of international adjudicative procedures as such. See, e.g., Dinah Shelton, The Participation of Nongovernmental Organizations in International Judicial Proceedings, 88 AJIL 611 (1994).
