Podcasts about International law

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has filed a new case against Rwanda at the International Court of Justice, accusing Kigali of violating its sovereignty and committing serious breaches of international law. But what does the law actually say? In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, international law scholar and former ICTR and ICC legal officer Dr. Alphonse Muleefu explains the legal issues at the heart of one of Africa's most consequential international disputes. We explore self-defence under international law, state sovereignty, the UN Mapping Report, the concept of "lawfare," and the strengths and weaknesses of both Rwanda's and the DRC's legal arguments. This is a conversation for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the legal dimensions of the conflict in eastern Congo. Sponsors:ShieldTech Hub- www.shieldtechub.com                                             Akagera Medicines- https://www.akageramedicines.com BasiGo Rwanda- https://www.basi-go.com/rwanda Join our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.comProduced by LF Media 

Tonight, in this incendiary investigative edition of Light ‘Em Up!We're burying our nose into the international intrigue, kidnapping and arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.The arrest of Maduro is not the first time the US has captured a sitting head of government in Latin America.In December 1989, the George H.W. Bush administration launched Operation Just Cause, deploying over 24,000 U.S. troops to depose Panama's Manuel Noriega and bring him to the United States to face federal drug-trafficking charges.For the longest time, President Trump has had a “hard on” for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.Maduro is accused by U.S. authorities of being one of the world's largest narco-traffickers, actively working with cartels to smuggle fentanyl-laced cocaine into the U.S. and engaging in narco-terrorism.In March 2020, Maduro was charged in a Southern District of New York federal indictment for:—     narco-terrorism, conspiracy to import cocaine,—     possession of machine guns and destructive devices,—     and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices in violation of Title 21 U.S.C. §§ 960a and 963, and 18 U.S.C. § 924.—     The U.S. Government initially offered a reward offer of up to $15 million for any information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Nicolás Maduro Moros in 2020.  The Biden Administration's Department of State on January 8, 2025, announced raising the reward offer to up to $25 million and ultimately $50 million under Trump 2.0.President Trump's opposition to Maduro was driven by Maduro's alleged authoritarian governance, political corruption, and alleged involvement in large-scale drug trafficking.Trump also frequently criticized Maduro for undermining democratic elections (as he himself has done) and allying with U.S. geopolitical rivals like China, Russia, and Iran.In this episode, we'll shine the antiseptic light of the truth and examine:The allegations that Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Adela Flores de Maduro stand accused of — and have been indicted on.As you know from previous episodes of Light ‘Em Up:Criminal charges are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless found guilty at trial or by plea.—     Straight from the indictment we'll investigate the Trump administration's case and legal arguments …—     We'll examine the legal nuances of the DOJ indictment detailing narco-terrorism and drug trafficking charges,—     As well as the international impacts and law that cover head of state sovereignty, state sovereignty and the “legality” of such a sweeping international action.—     All with an intense focus on the response from the EU, Latin America, China, Russia.Trump says, “The Venezuelan people are “Happy”.  We've learned differently.The fallout from this raid continues to shape international relations, with global leaders split between condemning the breach of sovereignty and supporting the removal of an autocratic regime.Arresting and extraditing your political enemies can serve as a convenient way to get rid of political rivals — but it doesn't make the process clean, easy or lawful.Was this massive use of military force in Caracas a violation of international law, and more specifically Article 2 §4 of The UN Charter?Is Mr. Maduro entitled to immunity as the head of state of a sovereign country?  The U.S. government maintains that he obtained the status through a fraudulent election. General Noriega made a similar claim and lost.Nicolás Maduro declared himself a prisoner of war, a status that the last Latin American leader seized by U.S. forces, Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega, also claimed.What will be the geopolitical impact for Venezuela and what does its future look like in conjunction with President Trump's declaration that the U.S. would “oversee” Venezuela's transition, and the subsequent installation of Maduro's Number 2 … interim president Delcy Rodríguez.These actions will certainly have broader geopolitical and energy implications for the region. The search for the truth and justice begins RIGHT HERE … and RIGHT NOW!Tune in for all the explosive details and our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot!We want to hear from you!Support the show

On today's show, Andrew and Bill begin by parsing the economic data released by the PRC this week, including slower-than-expected growth, the Party's response to the status quo, export-powered growth that is widening trade imbalances, and the questions all of this will raise for foreign policymakers. From there: The Party's findings on Ma Xingrui, questions that remain unanswered, and cadre risk aversion for the next 18 months. Then: PRC messaging around openness in AI, an ongoing U.S. debate over open-source AI models, three chip bills that may end up in the NDAA, and the continued adventures in China policy on Capitol Hill. At the end: Reflections on the 10th anniversary of The Hague ruling on the PRC's territorial claims in the South China Sea, as well as the state of play today.

Has Britain's change of leadership created a genuine opportunity for a new approach to Palestine, or will little change in practice?Britain Palestine Project trustees Sir Vincent Fean and Andrew Whitley assess the implications of the new Labour government under Prime Minister Andy Burnham, examining whether recent statements on Gaza and international law will be matched by meaningful action.The discussion explores practical policy options available to the UK, from sanctions on illegal settlements and financial services to enforcing the International Court of Justice's advisory opinion on the occupation of the Palestinian territories. Vincent and Andrew also consider the political pressures facing the new government, the role of public opinion, and why Britain has both a historic responsibility and an opportunity to provide international leadership.They also discuss:The UK's recognition of the State of Palestine and what should happen next.Why international law must be followed by practical consequences.Trade with Israeli settlements and proposed sanctions.The significance of the proposed E1 settlement expansion.Humanitarian access to Gaza and the role of UNRWA.Whether Britain should continue to follow Washington's lead—or build a coalition with like-minded countries.The importance of Palestinian political unity and forthcoming elections.How upcoming elections in Israel, Palestine and the United States could reshape the political landscape.Despite the gravity of the current situation, Vincent and Andrew end by identifying areas where sustained public pressure, principled diplomacy and international cooperation could still bring meaningful change.Sir Vincent Fean served in the British Diplomatic Service for more than 35 years, including as British Consul-General in Jerusalem (2010–2014). He is a trustee of the Britain Palestine Project and author of A Misunderstood Friendship: Britain and Israel, 1948–2020.Andrew Whitley is a former senior United Nations official with extensive experience across the Middle East, including senior roles with UNRWA and the Office of the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process. He is a trustee of the Britain Palestine Project.Subscribe to the Britain Palestine Project Podcast for expert analysis, interviews and discussions exploring Britain's historic and contemporary role in Palestine.Guests

New research into IVF and donor eggs suggests that older women face a lower chance of fertility treatment working, even when using young donor eggs - with a marked drop-off from around the age of 49. Experts studying more than 1700 women say the findings challenge the idea that donor eggs can fully "reset" the reproductive clock - BUT that they should not put older couples off trying. Researchers believe age-related changes in the womb lining may be the cause. Nuala McGovern is joined by Dr Ippokratis Sarris, who is chair elect of the British Fertility Society, and writer Grace Ackroyd who had a baby at 47 using donor eggs. Have you ever found love in an unexpected place? At a gig? A restaurant?... What about a library? Four couples have found love in the stacks of Anlaby Park Community Library, in Hull. Nuala is joined by one of them, Mandy and Adrian Strickland, who share their story. What do we know about domestic violence in post-conflict societies, and how important is this knowledge for tackling violence against women in Northern Ireland? Do we see the history of conflict in Northern Ireland reflected in patterns of abuse and violence that women face today? Our guests share their views. Monica McWilliams is a long-standing peace activist and Emeritus Professor at the Transitional Justice Institute Ulster University and Aisling Swaine is Professor of Peace, Security and International Law in Uni College Dublin.Trish Patterson, a 41-year-old mother of twins, has just set a new world record for the National Three Peaks challenge, running 425 miles over five days. We talk to her about her extraordinary feat and what motivates her to keep going.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey

Checks on executive power have become fully unbalanced, with boundaries and guardrails overrun daily. Congressional leadership unwilling to challenge a president of their own party and an enabling Court have thus far proven largely uninterested in reining in a president who openly defies constitutional and legal constraints on his power.

Attila Tanzi - State of Necessity in International Law by Audiovisual Library of International Law

The history of Jews in the United States is often told as if they immigrated, gained citizenship, and almost immediately achieved full legal rights. Yet this story fundamentally misses how citizenship rights worked for Jews and countless others who arrived on American shores. In Who Is American? Belonging and the Question of Jewish Citizenship, Lila Corwin Berman draws on case law, statutes, and debates to argue that both the laws of American citizenship and Jews' position in them changed repeatedly across the twentieth century. Courts, policymakers, and the public persistently asked what it meant to be Jewish under the law. Were Jews a race, a nationality, a religion—or some combination of each? The answer carried profound legal consequences. Not only did it determine Jews' citizenship status, but it also affected the rights they could exercise. Just as significantly, the meaning of the categories under law changed over time, affecting Jews' self-understanding, their political ideals, and their relationships to other groups of Americans.Who Is American? tells a history that resonates powerfully with today's high-stakes battles over citizenship and rights. As Berman concludes, citizenship law has always been better at posing questions about the terms of belonging than at providing any ultimate resolution. The tangled story of Jewish citizenship demonstrates the limits of law and explains why the United States continues to fall into new and, often, unsettling debates about who is American. Lila Corwin Berman is the Paul and Sylvia Steinberg Professor of American Jewish History at New York University, where she directs the Goldstein-Goren Center for American Jewish History. She is author of The American Jewish Philanthropic Complex: The History of a Multibillion-Dollar Institution (Princeton) and Metropolitan Jews: Politics, Race, and Religion in Postwar Detroit. Geraldine Gudefin is a modern Jewish historian researching Jewish migrations, family life, and legal pluralism. She is currently a Visiting Scholar at the Centre for Asian Legal Studies at the National University of Singapore, and is completing a book titled An Impossible Divorce? East European Jews and the Limits of Legal Pluralism in France, 1900-1939.

The history of Jews in the United States is often told as if they immigrated, gained citizenship, and almost immediately achieved full legal rights. Yet this story fundamentally misses how citizenship rights worked for Jews and countless others who arrived on American shores. In Who Is American? Belonging and the Question of Jewish Citizenship, Lila Corwin Berman draws on case law, statutes, and debates to argue that both the laws of American citizenship and Jews' position in them changed repeatedly across the twentieth century. Courts, policymakers, and the public persistently asked what it meant to be Jewish under the law. Were Jews a race, a nationality, a religion—or some combination of each? The answer carried profound legal consequences. Not only did it determine Jews' citizenship status, but it also affected the rights they could exercise. Just as significantly, the meaning of the categories under law changed over time, affecting Jews' self-understanding, their political ideals, and their relationships to other groups of Americans.Who Is American? tells a history that resonates powerfully with today's high-stakes battles over citizenship and rights. As Berman concludes, citizenship law has always been better at posing questions about the terms of belonging than at providing any ultimate resolution. The tangled story of Jewish citizenship demonstrates the limits of law and explains why the United States continues to fall into new and, often, unsettling debates about who is American.

Giulio Bartolini - Human Rights and Disasters by Audiovisual Library of International Law

Article 1 of the Outer Space Treaty, signed at the height of the Cold War in 1967, declares that space "shall be the province of all [hu]mankind." That remarkable consensus, with its benefits to science and communication, has held for more than half a century— until now. In this conversation, host Barry Stevens talks with Michael Byers— Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law at UBC and co-author of Who Owns Outer Space? — about how, behind breathless media coverage of rockets landing by themselves and astronauts circling the moon, Donald Trump's reframing of space as a "warfighting domain" and his Golden Dome fantasy are eroding fifty years of restraint and triggering an arms race. With Pentagon-backed companies like Musk's SpaceX, the commons of space is being crowded, enclosed, monetized, and militarized. But as Byers insists, "it is not too late." 

In this episode of the Pioneer Podcast, I focus on our case and right to self-determination. I zoom in on what precisely self-determination is, what international law says about it, what South African law says about it and what the arguments against it are.    You can support our work here - https://www.lexlibertas.org.za/support-us

Paula Gaviria Betancur - The Protection of Internally Displaced Persons and International Law: at the Intersection of Legal Regimes by Audiovisual Library of International Law

Over the weekend Iran launched waves of missiles at Israel, while Israel retaliated against military targets and a petrochemical complex in Iran, as an uneasy two-month truce appeared to break down. Trump had earlier appeared keen to avoid an escalation, telling Bibi not to respond to the first barrage of Iranian missiles. Under the surface, Israel wants to complete the job in Lebanon, but Trump wants all the wars over so he can cover up his failure. We start the ep by Jason explaining these late-breaking developments and then introducing the electoral fight between neo-populism and progressivism in one of Latin America's most geopolitically important countries. As we pivot to the feature topic, we ask what is going on in Colombia's presidential election and will it jeopardise the country's peace agreement which former Disorder guest Jonathan Powell helped negotiate many moons ago? Might we see multiple Latin American countries moving to the neo-populism right helped by Trump - including the return of the Bolsonaro family in Brazil? What are the interests that the Trump administration is pursuing in Latin America? Is it mostly just about critical minerals or is it more of a shared worldview? And how can people in the continent pursue democracy and rights when the US and China are competing to get hold of their critical minerals?  This week Jane meets distinguished human rights lawyer Viviana Krsticevic, executive director of the Center for Justice and International Law, founder of GQual and member of the UN's independent fact-finding mission on human rights in Iran. They discuss how Vivi's childhood in Argentina under the military junta left her with a determination to fight for democracy, gender equality and human rights after seeing the costs of authoritarianism firsthand, and they discuss strategies for advancing freedom and justice despite the current age of political disorder and democratic backsliding. In the Ordering the Disorder segment they discuss, Latin America's role in global politics and how the key aspects of multilateralism are highlighted by the current search for the next UN Secretary General - likely to come from Latin America.

Our latest Anchoring Truths Podcast episode centers on a 2026 case in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, covering New York City. This case presented a fascinating opportunity to discuss the intersection of Natural Law, international law, and contract law. Petersen Energia Inversora v. YPF (2nd Cir. opinion here) concerns how Argentina raised more than a billion dollars from American investors on the New York Stock Exchange with ironclad anti-nationalization guarantees—only to seize YPF in 2012 and, according to the plaintiffs, stiff minority shareholders out of $16 billion.We are thrilled to discuss this case in light of those larger considerations with one of the lawyers for Petersen, our old friend and returning podcast guest Mike Fragoso. Mike is a partner at Torridon Law PLLC and counsel for Petersen Energia Inversora in one of the most important corporate-governance cases in a decade. Before entering private practice, Michael served as Chief Counsel to Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, where he advised on judicial nominations, legislation, and high-stakes oversight. He previously held senior roles on the Senate Judiciary Committee, served as Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department's Office of Legal Policy, clerked for Judge Diane Sykes on the Seventh Circuit, and began his career as a litigator at Kirkland & Ellis. A Notre Dame Law graduate (where he was a student of JWI's co-director Gerry Bradley) and Princeton alum (where he was a student of our friend Robert George), his writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, National Review, and elsewhere. We hope you enjoy the program.Read Fragoso's assessment of the Second Circuit ruling in City Journal.

Eirik Bjorge - The Evolutionary Interpretation of Treaties by Audiovisual Library of International Law

This episode with Linda Santoni is a bit of a milestone for the podcast. Linda is a 2L at the University of Bologna in Italy and the first guest I have ever had from Italy, which, by itself, made this a fun one to record. It also happened to be my final episode recorded from Albany before making the move back to Long Island, so a fitting send-off all around.Linda's path is genuinely unlike anything I have covered before. In Italy, law school is a five-year program that doubles as your bachelor's degree, so she started right out of high school at 19 years old. Before that, in high school, she focused on Humanities Studies, where she some time reading and learned Greek and Latin texts in their original languages. We got into how that discipline actually translates pretty cleanly to legal work, and it might be one of the most interesting connections I have drawn with a guest in a while.What I really enjoyed about this conversation was where it went after the basics. Linda is deep into international law and has already been to Washington, D.C. for the American Society of International Law's annual meeting, where she serves as Vice Chair of the International Development Law Interest Group. She also walked through her experience as an advisor for the Philip Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition, which she initially saw as a failure for not making the speaking team, but turned into one of the most valuable experiences she has had. The whole “failure opening doors you wouldn't have seen otherwise” thing landed.We also got philosophical, which you knew was going to happen the second she mentioned reading Aristotle in Greek. I asked Linda about her take on the American Dream for young lawyers, and her answer about community impact and giving a voice to people who get neglected by the system was genuinely one of the more thoughtful answers I have gotten to that kind of question.Linda's LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/linda-santoniBe sure to check out the Official Sponsors for the Lawyers in the Making Podcast:Rhetoric - Empowers your teaching and training with AI that strengthens learning, protects integrity, and proves authentic understanding, for students and professionals alike, with CICERO.

The U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war. Congress hasn't formally done so since 1942. Brian Finucane, a former State Department lawyer and current senior adviser at the International Crisis Group, joins Matt to make sense of how that happened — and what it means now that the United States is at war with Iran. Brian has spent years arguing, across administrations of both parties, that executive branch war-making has drifted dangerously far from its constitutional moorings. Operation Epic Fury, he contends, is the most consequential test of that argument yet.Subscribe and share to stay ahead in the world of intelligence, global issues, and current affairs.Follow Brian on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/bcfinucane.bsky.socialConnect with Brian on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-finucane-15a5652bPlease share this episode using these linksAudio: https://pod.fo/e/41d13cYouTube: https://youtu.be/TUYI1DqO-CAFurther reading"What the Iran War Reveals About the War Powers Resolution and How Congress Can Act" by Tess Bridgeman & Brian Finucane | Just Security: https://www.justsecurity.org/137977/iran-hostilities-war-powers-restart-clock/"On the State Department Memorandum 'Operation Epic Fury and International Law'" by Brian Finucane | Just Security: https://www.justsecurity.org/137097/state-department-epic-fury-international-law/"An Unserious Justification for an Unnecessary War: Assessing the U.S. 'Article 51' Letter to U.N. on Iran War" by Brian Finucane | Just Security: https://www.justsecurity.org/134290/us-article-51-letter-united-nations/"Senate Votes to Take Up Measure to Force Trump to End Iran War" by Megan Mineiro | The New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/us/politics/senate-iran-war-authorization.html"Bending the Guardrails: U.S. War Powers after 7 October" by Brian Finucane | International Crisis Group: https://www.crisisgroup.org/rpt/united-states/009-bending-guardrails-us-war-powers-after-7-octoberSupport Secrets and SpiesBecome a “Friend of the Podcast” on Patreon for £3/$4: https://www.patreon.com/SecretsAndSpiesBuy merchandise from our shop: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/60934996Buy us a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/secretsandspiesSubscribe to our YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDVB23lrHr3KFeXq4VU36dgFor more information about the podcast, check out our website: https://secretsandspiespodcast.comConnect with us on social media Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/secretsandspies.bsky.socialInstagram: https://instagram.com/secretsandspiesFacebook: https://facebook.com/secretsandspiesSpoutible: https://spoutible.com/SecretsAndSpiesFollow Chris and Matt on Bluesky:https://bsky.app/profile/chriscarrfilm.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/mattfulton.netSecrets and Spies is produced by Films & Podcasts LTD: https://filmsandpodcasts.co.uk/Music by Andrew R.

How has international law been strategically deployed to shape the Palestinian struggle for freedom across a century-long arc, from the Balfour Declaration in 1917 to present-day wars in Gaza.  Join host Sahar Aziz in conversation with Noura Erakat about the promise and risk of international law in the pursuit of Palestinian freedom and the broader relationship between law and liberation. Our discussion examines the concept of "legal work"—the deliberate efforts by powerful actors to bend legal doctrine to their objectives—and how this has transformed international law to advance certain interests over others. We delve into the "sovereign exception" framework that has enabled the creation of exceptional legal categories excluding Palestinians from otherwise applicable protections, from the British Mandate period through Israeli occupation and colonization. Legal strategies have been used to consolidate territorial control, facilitate dispossession, and legitimize military tactics that compromise civilian protections globally, while also exploring moments when weaker actors have leveraged law's emancipatory potential through strategic and tactical ingenuity. Professor Noura Erakat's groundbreaking work demonstrates that the law's current outcomes were never inevitable—that law is politics, and its meaning depends on political intervention by states and people alike. Through original interviews with principals from Israeli-Palestinian negotiations and comprehensive historical analysis, she reveals how Palestinian leaders gained significant legal victories at the UN before eventually exchanging hard-won international recognition for a bilateral peace process that accelerated their dispossession. Her work shows both the profound limitations of international law when serving the powerful and its counterintuitive utility when mobilized in support of political movements seeking liberation. BiographyNoura Erakat is Professor of Africana Studies and Criminal Justice at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. She is the author of Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine (Stanford University Press, 2019), which received the Palestine Book Award and the Bronze Medal for the Independent Publishers Book Award in Current Events/Foreign Affairs. She is a legal scholar with research interests in humanitarian law, human rights law, critical race theory, national security law, and Palestinian Studies. She has published over two dozen academic articles and book chapters, including in the American Journal of International Law, American Quarterly, and the Oxford Bibliographies in International Law. Recommended ReadingNoura Erakat, Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine (Stanford 2019)Rashid Khalidi, The One Hundred Years' War on Palestine (MacMillan 2020)#Israel #Palestine #Gaza #Genocide #ICC #HumanRights #InternationalLawSupport the showSupport the Center for Security, Race and Rights by following us and making a donation:Donate: https://give.rutgersfoundation.org/csrr-support/20046.html Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEbUfYcWGZapBNYvCObiCpp3qtxgH_jFy Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rucsrr Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Threads: https://threads.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/rucsrr Follow us on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/rucsrr
