We had planned to debate whether the U.S. should or shouldn't get involved in the Israeli-Iranian conflict. Well, President Trump did, so the debate turned into whether it was the right move and how it might play out both internationally and domestically.

In episode 474 of 'The Iron Fist and the Velvet Glove Podcast,' hosts Trevor and Joe discuss the recent U.S. bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities, analyzing the lack of justification and the broader international response. The episode critiques President Trump's decision to bomb despite intelligence reports indicating no immediate threat, examines the geopolitical implications, and addresses the polarized media narratives. Trevor and Joe offer insights into international law, the influence of lobbyists, and the impact of disinformation. The hosts conclude with humorous anecdotes and listener interactions, highlighting the complex and often hypocritical landscape of international politics.00:00 Introduction and Podcast Welcome00:49 Recent US Military Actions02:41 Trump's Announcement and Social Media Reactions04:37 Historical Comparisons and Hypocrisy05:33 Press Conference and Military Justifications12:06 Polling and Public Opinion16:48 Western Democracies and Global Reactions28:23 Media Influence and Expert Opinions31:33 Government and Lobbyist Influence33:33 State Department and National Allegiances35:32 Diversity and Identity Politics36:47 Democrats and Trump37:21 Epstein and Mossad38:30 Election Truth Alliance39:49 Iran and Regime Change43:59 International Law and Israel48:16 Tulsi Gabbard's Flip Flop51:30 Trump's Justification for Bombing Iran58:31 Humour and Final ThoughtsTo financially support the Podcast you can make:a per-episode donation via Patreon or one-off donation via credit card; orone-off or regular donations via Paypal orif you are into Cryptocurrency you can send Satoshis.

The Unseen History of International Law (Oxford University Press, 2025) locates and describes almost one thousand surviving copies of the first nine editions of Hugo Grotius' De iure belli ac pacis (IBP) published between 1625 and 1650. Meticulously reconstructing the publishing history of these first nine editions and cataloguing copies across hundreds of collections, The Unseen History provides fundamental data for reconstructing the impact of IBP across time and space. The authors, Dr. Mark Somos, Dr. Matthew Cleary, Dr. Pablo Dufour, Dr. Edward Jones Corredera, and Dr. Emanuele Salerno, also examined annotations that thousands of owners and readers have left in IBP copies over four centuries, offering original insights into the development of international law.Grotius' De iure belli ac pacis has been commonly regarded as the foundation of modern international law since its first appearance in 1625. Most major international law scholars have engaged with IBP, often owning and richly annotating their own copies. At key moments - including the demise of the Holy Roman Empire, the fall of Napoleon, and the end of both world wars - IBP was reissued with new commentaries by multinational projects devoted to restarting the international order. Despite the enormous literature on IBP's reception and influence, we cannot fully understand its impact without uncovering the history of IBP as a physical object, with hundreds of thousands of unpublished annotations arguing or agreeing with the text, updating and adapting its contents.Approaching Grotius' seminal work as a physical vehicle of the author's, the publishers', owners', and readers' engagement, The Unseen History radically expands and revises our understanding not only of IBP, but also of the academic discipline and lived practice of modern international law over the last four centuries. In addition to delving into the first nine editions' printing history, descriptive bibliography, and both Grotius' and the publishers' marketing and donation strategies, the book explores Grotius' subsequent impact on pro-slavery and abolitionist litigation as a case study of how the census' original findings can be applied to specific areas of reception. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Several top Iranian commanders have been killed by Israel's large-scale strikes against Iran today. Iran has promised a harsh response and Israel said it was working to intercept about 100 drones launched towards Israeli territory in retaliation. The United States, which was due to hold the latest round of talks with Iran on restricting its nuclear programme on Sunday, said it had had no part in the operation. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel military operation would continue for as many days as it takes. Jon Gericke spoke to Dr Sikwani Ncube, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Public Law at the University of Johannesburg (UJ)

The Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lecture is an annual three-part lecture series given in Cambridge to commemorate the unique contribution to the development of international law of Sir Hersch Lauterpacht. These lectures are given annually by a person of eminence in the field of international law.We will come together to celebrate the life and scholarship of our colleague and friend, Professor Karen Knop (1960-2022). Karen, until her untimely passing, was the Cecil A Wright Chair at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law. A long-time friend of the Lauterpacht Centre, Karen was to have delivered the Centre's 2025 Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures.The 2025 Lectures will take place on 13 and 14 March, over four special sessions, conversing with Karen's extraordinary body of work across the history and theory of international law, gender and feminism studies, and private and foreign relations law. Four former HLM Lecturers will deliver these lectures in conversation with three discussants, all outstanding scholars mentored by Karen.Session IV Discussion and Q&A led by Professor Susan Marks Chair: Professor Antony AnghieProfessor Marks will lead the discussion of the three talks, teasing out cross-cutting themes and the enduring influence of Karen Knop's scholarship across different fields of international law scholarship. Susan Marks is Professor of International Law at the LSE.

Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures 2025: Diversity and Self-Determination in International Law: Continuing Conversations with Karen KnopWe will come together to celebrate the life and scholarship of our colleague and friend, Professor Karen Knop (1960-2022). Karen, until her untimely passing, was the Cecil A Wright Chair at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law. A long-time friend of the Lauterpacht Centre, Karen was to have delivered the Centre's 2025 Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures.Session I - History and TheoryProfessor Martti Koskenniemi in conversation with Dr Megan DonaldsonChair: Professor Surabhi RanganathanProfessor Koskenniemi' s talk, 'Narrating International Society: Management of Pluralism according to Marcel Gauchet & Karen Knop', will first address the emergence of the theme of a “law of an international society” in the 19th century, its use in the 20th century to support a managerial view of international institutions. It will then focus on the challenges that cultural and ideological pluralism poses to received ideas about the role of law in the government of domestic and international society. Dr Donaldson's talk, ‘Gaze, Agency and International Society', reads Karen Knop's early work on self-determination as a repertoire of techniques for thinking collectivities and affiliations against and across states. The multiple and mobile perspectives she brought to bear, and the agency she glimpsed in disparate individuals and communities, pervaded much of her later work too, and remains open to, even generative of, renewed understandings of international society.Martti Koskenniemi is Professor Emeritus of International law at the University of Helsinki. Megan Donaldson is Associate Professor of International Law at University College London.

A long-time friend of the Lauterpacht Centre, Karen was to have delivered the Centre's 2025 Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures.Session III Private and Foreign Relations LawProfessor Anne Peters in conversation with Dr Roxana BanuChair: Professor Campbell McLachlanProfessor Peters's talk, 'Populism, Foreign Relations Law, and global order and justice', will discuss populist foreign relations law, which was Karen Knop's last project, at the university of Helsinki and as a Max Planck fellow. This talk will make the point that ongoing transformations of the concept of law itself, of legal procedures, and of legal substance cut across the ‘levels' of governance. And neither identitarian rhetoric, nor trade wars, nor border-fences will bring back an inter-state, Westphalian (or ‘Eastfalian') order. We are living in conditions of global law (and transnational) law. Populist heads of state both deploy and defy this law (concluding populist treaties or deals such as the German-Turkish refugee agreements; denouncing treaties such as ICSID or the Paris Agreement; using their war powers to escape domestic critique; raising tariffs to please their voter-base, and so on). At the same time, domestic, local and transnational actors (ranging from cities to courts to Indigenous peoples, or philanthro-capitalists) activate all kinds of law to resist populism. Such global lawfare destabilises world order but also has a transformative potential. New legal forms (especially informal agreements), new legal processes (such as public interest litigation before the ICJ) and new legal principles (such as One Health; Rectification/reparation; and the exposure of double standards) are responding to the big challenges for global order and justice: the cultural, the social, and the ecological challenge. Dr Banu's talk, 'Foreign Affairs, Self-Determination and Private International Law', begins with the point that foreign affairs questions are often thought to lie at the very edge of private international law, perhaps in the leftover corners of the historical alignment between private and public international law. Similarly, in part on the assumption that private international law settles conflicts of laws between already established states, there wouldn't appear to be any intuitive connection between nationalist or self-determination movements and the field of private international law.This talk will show that these assumptions are mistaken. By engaging with the historical development of the field from the mid-nineteenth century onwards, the talk will show that private international law has been deeply enmeshed in major geopolitical events generally, and in nationalist and self-determination movements, in particular. This enmeshment is neither accidental, nor exclusively modern. It is the inevitable result of some of private international law's main analytical and conceptual building blocks.

Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures 2025: Diversity and Self-Determination in International Law: Continuing Conversations with Karen KnopWe will come together to celebrate the life and scholarship of our colleague and friend, Professor Karen Knop (1960-2022). Karen, until her untimely passing, was the Cecil A Wright Chair at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law. A long-time friend of the Lauterpacht Centre, Karen was to have delivered the Centre's 2025 Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures.Session I - History and TheoryProfessor Martti Koskenniemi in conversation with Dr Megan DonaldsonChair: Professor Surabhi RanganathanProfessor Koskenniemi' s talk, 'Narrating International Society: Management of Pluralism according to Marcel Gauchet & Karen Knop', will first address the emergence of the theme of a “law of an international society” in the 19th century, its use in the 20th century to support a managerial view of international institutions. It will then focus on the challenges that cultural and ideological pluralism poses to received ideas about the role of law in the government of domestic and international society. Dr Donaldson's talk, ‘Gaze, Agency and International Society', reads Karen Knop's early work on self-determination as a repertoire of techniques for thinking collectivities and affiliations against and across states. The multiple and mobile perspectives she brought to bear, and the agency she glimpsed in disparate individuals and communities, pervaded much of her later work too, and remains open to, even generative of, renewed understandings of international society.Martti Koskenniemi is Professor Emeritus of International law at the University of Helsinki.

A long-time friend of the Lauterpacht Centre, Karen was to have delivered the Centre's 2025 Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures.Session III Private and Foreign Relations LawProfessor Anne Peters in conversation with Dr Roxana BanuChair: Professor Campbell McLachlanProfessor Peters's talk, 'Populism, Foreign Relations Law, and global order and justice', will discuss populist foreign relations law, which was Karen Knop's last project, at the university of Helsinki and as a Max Planck fellow. This talk will make the point that ongoing transformations of the concept of law itself, of legal procedures, and of legal substance cut across the ‘levels' of governance. And neither identitarian rhetoric, nor trade wars, nor border-fences will bring back an inter-state, Westphalian (or ‘Eastfalian') order. We are living in conditions of global law (and transnational) law. Populist heads of state both deploy and defy this law (concluding populist treaties or deals such as the German-Turkish refugee agreements; denouncing treaties such as ICSID or the Paris Agreement; using their war powers to escape domestic critique; raising tariffs to please their voter-base, and so on). At the same time, domestic, local and transnational actors (ranging from cities to courts to Indigenous peoples, or philanthro-capitalists) activate all kinds of law to resist populism. Such global lawfare destabilises world order but also has a transformative potential. New legal forms (especially informal agreements), new legal processes (such as public interest litigation before the ICJ) and new legal principles (such as One Health; Rectification/reparation; and the exposure of double standards) are responding to the big challenges for global order and justice: the cultural, the social, and the ecological challenge. Dr Banu's talk, 'Foreign Affairs, Self-Determination and Private International Law', begins with the point that foreign affairs questions are often thought to lie at the very edge of private international law, perhaps in the leftover corners of the historical alignment between private and public international law. Similarly, in part on the assumption that private international law settles conflicts of laws between already established states, there wouldn't appear to be any intuitive connection between nationalist or self-determination movements and the field of private international law.This talk will show that these assumptions are mistaken. By engaging with the historical development of the field from the mid-nineteenth century onwards, the talk will show that private international law has been deeply enmeshed in major geopolitical events generally, and in nationalist and self-determination movements, in particular. This enmeshment is neither accidental, nor exclusively modern. It is the inevitable result of some of private international law's main analytical and conceptual building blocks.

In this final installment of Absolute Trust Talk's international estate planning series, host Kirsten Howe concludes her conversation with estate planning specialist Janet Brewer, addressing one of the most common cross-border scenarios: U.S. citizens who own property abroad. Janet, with over 30 years of experience serving Silicon Valley's international clientele, explains why simply leaving foreign property to your US trust won't work, since most countries don't recognize trusts at all.   This episode highlights the crucial distinction between countries that recognize trusts (primarily former British colonies) and those that don't, and examines practical solutions, including the Hague Convention on International Wills and strategic "situs wills," which can prevent costly intestate succession. Janet shares how to navigate the complex process of probating wills in multiple countries and introduces listeners to STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners), an invaluable resource for finding qualified international estate planning professionals worldwide. Whether you've inherited a cottage in England, own investment property in India, or have family assets in China, this episode provides essential guidance for protecting your foreign holdings and ensuring your wishes are honored across borders.   Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 2:27 Janet explains the fundamental problem: Most countries don't recognize trusts, making standard US estate planning ineffective for foreign property 3:04 Discover which countries DO recognize trusts: primarily former British colonies like England, while Germany, China, and France do not 3:08 Learn about the Hague Convention on International Wills - a treaty that allows properly formatted wills to be honored across participating countries 5:57 The reality check: Most clients have their primary assets in the US but own that "little pocket of assets" overseas 6:07 Janet walks through the practical challenge of having one original will needed in two different countries 7:03 Strategic will drafting: How to structure wills to handle both US trusts and foreign property distributions effectively 10:07 Why you MUST work with an attorney in the foreign jurisdiction - forced heirship laws and other local requirements can override your US planning 11:10 Meet STEP: The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners - your go-to resource for finding qualified international estate planning professionals 12:53 How STEP membership requirements vary by country, with stricter vetting in the UK compared to more relaxed US standards 13:56 Closing thoughts and appreciation for the three-part international estate planning series

There is outrage over the US vetoing a UN Security Council resolution for Gaza. The resolution calls for a permanent ceasefire and demanded unrestricted aid entry to the Strip.

Send us a textIsrael is fighting two wars: one on the battlefield—and one in the headlines. In this explosive episode, Eylon Levy is joined by Israeli-American OSINT sleuth Eitan Fischberger, who breaks down how Hamas has manipulated the global media narrative through lies, disguises, and infiltration.Fischberger, who rocketed from 2,000 to over 40,000 Twitter followers since October 7, reveals:• How open-source evidence shows Gaza “journalists” moonlighting as Hamas commanders • The Hamas-run media training programs feeding footage to Al Jazeera and CNN • The shocking case of a hospital director exposed as a Hamas colonel • Why the IDF's failure to communicate evidence is costing Israel the information war • Why major news outlets refuse to admit they've been duped by terroristsWatch how one man's keyboard is doing the work of an army—and why the West's naïveté is Hamas's greatest weapon.

Professor Guy Sinclair explains how the UN has, over time, diverged from its original Charter, adapting in response to global shifts—sometimes enhancing its relevance, but at other times straining its legitimacy. Sinclair outlines four key factors driving institutional change: external shocks, internal dynamics, legal mechanisms, and shared narratives. As new technologies like AI and autonomous weapons reshape global threats, he anticipates further evolution in how international organizations operate. We also discuss the strain on the UN's development agenda—especially the Sustainable Development Goals—as geopolitical shocks and donor fatigue undercut progress. Sinclair addresses concerns about the UN's diminished authority in peace and security, citing the growing irrelevance of Security Council authorization. He warns that the increasing role of private and state donors may skew UN priorities, challenging its legitimacy. Finally, we explore whether collective security remains a viable goal and whether reform should be gradual or transformative. Through it all, Sinclair urges a critical but hopeful approach, recognizing the UN's enduring potential amid deep systemic challenges.Learn more on GlobalGovernanceForum.org

What is methane? Methane (CH4) (the primary component of “natural gas”) is the second most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide.Around 60% of global methane emissions come from human activities in three main sectors: energy production (oil, gas, and coal), agriculture (livestock and rice), and waste (landfill and waste water). Energy production accounts for about 35% of anthropogenic methane emissions, agriculture accounts for about 40%, and waste accounts for about 20%. Why is methane leakage prevention important?Methane leaks from fossil fuel production, landfills, and livestock include emissions that are described as “super emitter events,” which have devastating ecological effects. While methane has a much shorter atmospheric lifetime than CO2 (around 12 years compared with one hundred years or more for CO2), it is a significantly more potent greenhouse gas, trapping eighty times more heat than CO2 over a 20 year period, which exacerbates the effects of climate change on our planet. Methane also negatively affects air quality because it is an ingredient in the formation of ground level (tropospheric) ozone, a dangerous air pollutant. Thus, monitoring methane leaks and formulating preventative methods is crucial to preserving the health of both the planet and all those who occupy it.A growing need for methane prevention efforts: how satellites can help us curb methane leaks The United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) has undertaken many initiatives to mitigate methane leaks. In October 2021, UNEP launched the International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO), which catalogs emissions for the three largest methane-emitting sectors in a public database, providing governments and companies access to empirically verified methane emissions. This data can be used to build efficient policies to address large methane leakages. In 2022, the UNEP launched the International Methane Alert and Response System, or MARS through its IMEO program, the first ever satellite-based detection system that notifies governments of major methane leaks from their fossil fuel infrastructure. IMEO breaks down satellite detection in four essential steps:  IMEO uses global mapping satellites to identify very large methane plumes.The emissions information is shared with governments and companies. Important information includes detailed information on their location, size, potential sources, and operators of the relevant facilities.It is up to notified stakeholders to determine how best to respond to the notified emissions.IMEO continues to track methane leakages around the world, repeating the process when large methane plumes are detected. Data and analyses are made public 45 to 75 days post detection on the MARS data portal.There is still more work to be done While developing satellite technology has helped, Dr. Aganaba argues for greater collaboration between different levels of government and greater transparency. While many governments and companies have agreed to methane emission reduction pledges, they are rarely legally binding.  Dr. Aganaba offers the following challenges and solutions. First, we need greater momentum at the federal level to get local and state actors to participate in satellite-based climate data collection. Second, there needs to be a standardization of data monitoring, collection, interpretation, and distribution in order for information to be verified and shared effectively, as this will enable better enforcement methods and compliance. Third, once what Dr. Aganaba refers to as a “national geospatial data infrastructure” is established, the international community must amend the space charters that dictate the current international geospatial data infrastructure. Dr. Aganaba stresses that this legal framework is crucial both to safeguard the environmental integrity of outer space and ensure that the mistakes made on earth are not repeated, both in terms of environmental exploitation and power sharing between developed and developing nations.  Satellite data is not a panacea. Satellites can sometimes mistake clouds or other natural phenomena for methane leaks. These readings are not always reliable as they can be obstructed by clouds, dense forests, or snow, and do not provide information about how much methane is being leaked in a specific location. They do, however, provide a great deal of useful data and much greater transparency.  Who is Dr. Timiebi Aganaba?Dr. Timiebi Aganaba is an assistant professor at the School for the Future of Innovation in Society at Arizona State University, where she founded the ASU Space Governance Lab. She is also the Senior Global Futures Scientist at Global Futures Scientists and Scholars. Dr. Aganaba specializes in international environmental law, international space law and policy, geoengineering, and satellite technology. Further Reading Aganaba-Jeanty, Timiebi & Huggings, Anna.

Earlier this month, reports surfaced alleging that Indian authorities had transported dozens of Rohingya refugees to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and subsequently abandoned them in international waters, in an attempt to deport them to Myanmar. However, on May 16, a Supreme Court Bench comprising Justices Surya Kant and N. Kotiswar Singh declined to pass any interim order to halt the purported deportation. The Court also cast doubt on the credibility of the evidence submitted before it. Meanwhile, the United Nations has launched an inquiry into the incident and has called on the Indian government to cease the inhumane and life-threatening treatment of Rohingya refugees, including their repatriation to perilous conditions in Myanmar. Does India's alleged forced repatriation of Rohingya refugees constitute a violation of international law? Does the deportation of refugees without adherence to due process infringe upon constitutional protections? In the absence of treaty ratification, is India nonetheless bound by the customary international law principle of non-refoulement? What policy reforms are needed to ensure a humane and rights-compliant refugee framework in India?

In this series, we explore other countries' legal systems to become more acquainted with their procedures.In this episode, Host Cecilia Lahaye (Bird & Bird LLP) sits down with Siraj Omar, SC (Siraj Omar LLC) to uncover the unique aspects of Singapore's legal system. Singapore has a common law legal system, rooted in its English tradition. Siraj provides an overview of the various types of court, including the unique and fascinating international commercial court where parties from different locations could ask to have their dispute resolved. Singapore is well-recognized as an international arbitration hub, and Siraj shares why arbitration is such a big part of the Singapore legal system. Join us as we dive into these key differences and explore how Singapore's legal system shapes justice.

When the newspapers are full of horrifying stories, international law sometimes feels impotent. Why is it still important? In what way is the term “genocide” political? Is our international system failing if world powers don't subscribe to it? And why would we need a fifth international crime of “Ecocide”? Philippe Sands is a specialist in international law, with over 40 years of experience in advocating for justice in front of the world's most significant courts, such as the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court and the European Court of Human Rights. Most importantly, Sands does not just practice international law; he tells its story. 

In this 21WIRE LIVE midweek edition, host Patrick Henningsen speaks with guest, international human rights lawyer Arnaud Develay, about about Trump and Israel's war on the International Criminal Court in The Hague - in their dangerous attempt to derail the criminal case against Israeli war criminals PM Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. With an unprecedented attack like this from a western power, what are the ramifications for International Law? Also, we probe Trump's off-the-cuff announcement in Saudi Arabia that Washington will be lifting sanctions on Al-Jolani's regime in Syria. But will it happen, especially after Marco Rubio balked on it, and then predicted a civil war breaking out in Syria?

A UN humanitarian affairs spokesperson in Geneva said the organization has received approval to bring 100 aid trucks into the Gaza Strip. According to him, 'We requested approval for many more trucks. If babies in Gaza do not receive the life-saving equipment they need, they will be in mortal danger.' Reporter Mark Weiss spoke about the legal aspects of providing aid in a time of war with Dr Eran Shamir Borer, Director of the Israel Democracy Institute’s Center for Security and Democracy, and a reserve colonel and former head of the IDF’s International Law department.

Susan M. Akram, Clinical Professor and Director of the International Human Rights Clinic at Boston University School of Law, discusses a significant report she co-authored and published through the University Network for Human Rights. Titled "Apartheid in Israel: An Analysis of Israel's Laws and Policies and the Responsibilities of U.S. Academic and Other Institutions," the report presents a detailed legal analysis demonstrating how Israel's treatment of Palestinians meets the internationally recognized legal definition of apartheid. Building on this conclusion, the report goes further to explore the ethical and legal obligations of academic institutions in the United States when engaging with or supporting a state accused of committing the crime of apartheid. It underscores that, rather than facing punishment, students and others who protest these injustices should be afforded protection under the UN Declaration on the Rights of Human Rights Defenders.

This episode of Speaking Out of Place is being recorded on May 15, 2025, the 77th anniversary of the 1948 Nakba, which began the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their land.

Qatar wants to gift Trump a $400 million jet, and the debate is already on fire—some say it's unethical, others question if it's even constitutional. But what's really going on here? In this episode, I unpack the bigger picture. I believe this move is Trump sending a message to Israel and Netanyahu: America—not Israel—is in control. And frankly, that message is long overdue. Israel has caused more harm than necessary in recent months, and it's time for the U.S. to reassert its authority on the world stage. This isn't just about a jet. It's about power, alliances, and who's really in charge.--https://noblegoldinvestments.com/

In Struggles for the Human: Violent Legality and the Politics of Rights (Duke University Press 2024), Lara Montesinos Coleman blends ethnography, political philosophy, and critical theory to reorient debates on human rights through attention to understandings of legality, ethics, and humanity in anticapitalist and decolonial struggle. Drawing on her extensive involvement with grassroots social movements in Colombia, Coleman observes that mainstream expressions of human rights have become counterparts to capitalist violence, even as this discourse disavows capitalism's deadly implications. She rejects claims that human rights are inherently tied to capitalism, liberalism, or colonialism, instead showing how human rights can be used to combat these forces. Coleman demonstrates that social justice struggles that are rooted in marginalized communities' lived experiences can reframe human rights in order to challenge oppressive power structures and offer a blueprint for constructing alternative political economies. By examining the practice of redefining human rights away from abstract universals and contextualizing them within concrete struggles for justice, Coleman reveals the transformative potential of human rights and invites readers to question and reshape dominant legal and ethical narratives. Lara Montesinos Coleman is Professor of International Law, Ethics and Political Economy at the University of Sussex, where she also teaches on the MA in Human Rights. She is author of Struggles for the Human: Violent Legality and the Politics of Rights, published by Duke University Press in 2024 and shortlisted for the Susan Strange Best Book Prize, awarded for an outstanding book published in any field of International Studies.
