He is also an adjunct professor in the Sydney Democracy Network at Sydney University; an affiliate of the Sydney Environment Institute; an associate of the Sydney Policy Lab at Sydney University and an honorary fellow of the Law Faculty at UWA.  A few weeks ago we published a conversation I had with David back in 2020, at the height the pandemic lockdowns. The world had seemingly turned on its axis, but in David's view was already spinning prior to covid19 sweeping the planet. As David last month began a new conversation with Greenpeace people and supporters, a monthly letter with love, I thought it was timely to chat again and check in with him post pandemic, but still very much in urgent crisis. David is a widely published writer, including three books, The Coal Truth, Contesting Native Title and the The Native Title Market, his insights into the climate emergency have been published in The Guardian, The Griffiths Review, Independent Australian and The Quarterly Essay. A frequent and highly regarded keynote speaker, David uses his platform to take audiences on a journey; through the wonder and awe of the natural world, the powers that threaten it and his profound belief in the human capacity for good.  David also wrote a wonderful essay for the book, Living with the Anthropocene, a powerful anthology of writing from some leading writers, thinkers and doers.     Growing Your Business and Impact Talk to us today about how we can grow your capacity to level up your business and impact with our fully trained and managed outsourced marketing solutions - delivered by our digital heroes armed with good strategy, the latest tech and big smiles.  Learn more at humansofpurpose.com Promotional Partnerships Like what we are serving up on Humans of Purpose?

American singer, Katy Perry, recently had a court win in a long-running trademark dispute with Australian fashion designer, Katie Perry. The singer successfully appealed a 2023 Federal Court decision, resulting in the fashion designer having her trademark cancelled, and being ordered to pay costs. Producer Athena spoke to Associate Professor at the University of Auckland's Faculty of Law, Rob Batty, about what gave rise to the case, how trademark law was applied, and what the recent decision might mean for smaller names.

First it was the International Court of Justice. South Africa brought a charge of genocide against Israel to be heard and decided in that august forum. That case has been in abeyance since the initial hearing on preliminary issues held in January, 2024. Soon after we began hearing about the International Criminal Court – which has the jurisdiction to hold individuals to account for genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and aggression. In May, ICC Chief Prosecutor, Karim Khan, K.C., appeared before a panel of ICC judges to ask that they issue arrest warrants for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and then Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant, for having engaged in crimes against humanity by promoting conditions conducive to mass starvation - targeting the people living in the Gaza Strip. These alleged crimes were purported to have dated back to October 8, 2023, a day on which Hamas terrorists continued their mass slaughter of Israeli civilians in the southern part of the country where they had invaded. Israel was in the second day of an existential war. The suggestion that its leaders were plotting mass starvation of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is beyond absurd. But apparently the ICC judges agreed with Mr. Khan and arrest warrants were issued on November 21. In this episode we speak with Israeli professor and international law expert, Yuval Shany. We get into all the issues and questions I expect many listeners have: Can the ICC do this? Why did it issue the warrants? And – what happens next? Within hours of the arrest warrants being issued there was a furious reaction from Israel as well as the United States – both on the part of President Biden and President-elect Trump. Whatever one's criticism of Israel may be, this step by the ICC calls into question whether the institution is operating in the interest of the highest ideals of justice or at the behest of nefarious political interests.

Lecture summary: The United Nations Charter order (UNCO) and the co-evolved liberal international order (LIO) are contested with a heretofore unknown force. The steep rise in contestations in the realm of public politics rather than the courtroom demonstrates a shift from normal contestation as a source of legitimacy and ordering towards deep contestation as a political challenge of foundational elements of liberal order. Today, not only in the Global South but also across Europe and North America, sceptics of globalization on the political left and nationalist-populists on the political right are challenging the fundamental pillars of the LIO (i.e., democracy, economic openness, and multilateralism). The process is paired by growing contestations of international law that is codified in the UN Charter including contestation of core norms of the UNCO (i.e., non-intervention, human rights, and sovereignty). While the effect of deep contestation is unknowable, we do know however that normal contestation is the essence of everyday politics. The clash of interests, norms, and ideas is entirely normal. Yet, contestation can also be degenerative, moving political outcomes away from desired ends through ad hoc and perhaps inconsistent compromises. As core norms of the LIO and UNCO have become deeply contested, we require a better understanding about the expected effects. Access to contestation as the right to speak and participate in political decisions is a necessary condition for normative legitimacy and mutual recognition of the norms that govern us. Achieving this condition involves struggles about norm(ative) meaning-in-use which take place on distinct sites of global order. This raises a question about time, substance, and norm(ative) change in global order more generally and, more specifically, which elements of international order ought to be retained. The lecture posits that the observed qualitative shift from constitutive everyday contestations towards potentially degenerative political contestation calls for a methodological stocktake of how contestations work with regard to global re/ordering, i.e. whose practices count and whose norms ought to count in that process?Professor Antje Wiener FAcSS, MAE, holds the Chair of Political Science, especially Global Governance at the University of Hamburg where she is a member of the Faculty of Business and Social Sciences as well as the Law Faculty. She is an elected By-Fellow of Hughes Hall University of Cambridge, a Fellow of the UK's Academy of Social Sciences, and a Member of the Academia Europea. Her research and teaching centres on International Relations theory, especially norms research and contestation theory.

Current research projects include ‘Contested Climate Justice in Sensitive Regions' at the Cluster of Excellence Climate, Climatic Change and Society (CLICCS) as well as ‘Doing Theory – From Where and What For? A Backpackers' Guide to Knowledge Production' at the Centre for Sustainable Society Research (CSS) among others.

Huge numbers of people are in the streets, reservists are resigning, the stock market is tanking, and Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes assembled an all-star panel to talk about it.Natan Sachs is the Director of the Center for Middle East Policy and a Senior Fellow in the Foreign Policy Program at the Brookings Institution. Amichai Cohen teaches international law and national security law at the Ono Academic College in Israel. And Yuval Shany is the Hersch Lauterpacht Chair in International Law and former Dean of the Law Faculty of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Cohen and Shany are the authors of a string of in-depth articles about the Israeli judicial revolution and the protests they have engendered (see their Lawfare articles here, here, here, here, here, and here). The four of them talked about what the substance of this new law is, what's coming next, whether this is the end of the reform sequence or just the first slice of salami, and about the incredible reaction we have seen from Israeli civil society and from opposition parties.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Learning is a central pursuit of the education system. It is essential that educators understand key elements of the science of human learning and how to apply them in the classroom. In this podcast episode, Michael Johnston is joined by Lloyd Gutteridge, author and senior lecturer at Auckland University of Technology in the Business, Economics and Law Faculty. They discussed the importance of prior knowledge in learning and the risks of too much edutainment in teaching. They also discussed gaps in the New Zealand curriculum and the science of learning, including cognitive load theory.

In today's episode we are continuing our holiday season special on entertainment and IHL. Dr Lauren Sanders is speaking again with Professor Shiri Krebs, but this time about targeting and the movies.  In particular they are talking about her paper, Drone-Cinema, Data Practices, and the Narrative of IHL, and how representations of the use of drones in movies (such as the 2015 movie, 'Eye in the Sky'), gets IHL wrong, and how it is being used (or misused) to educate people about ethical decision making in armed conflict and how IHL applies in targeting decisions. Spoiler alert: contains plot details of 'Eye in the Sky'.Professor Krebs draws upon Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) and post-humanist feminism literature to critically evaluate how drone visuals shape and influence military practices; using  popular culture products, such as drone cinema, to critique military processes of knowledge production and the Western-militarist ethos of objectivity.Shiri is a Professor at Deakin University's Law Faculty, as well as the Co-lead of the Law and Policy Theme in the Australian Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre (CSCRC).  In 2022 she was elected as the Lieber Society on the Laws of Armed Conflict Chair (with the American Society of International Law), and she is an affiliated scholar at Stanford University's Centre for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC). Professor Krebs has written and published broadly on algorithmic bias and drone data vulnerabilities, data privacy, and human-machine interaction in technology-assisted legal decision-making, at the intersection of law, science and technology. She teaches the outcomes of her work in many fora – including to governments and militaries.Special thanks to Rosie Cavdarski for editing.Additional resources:Shiri Krebs,'Drone-Cinema, Data Practices, and the Narrative of IHL' , Zeitschrift fur Auslandisches Offentliches Recht und Volkerrecht, Vol 82, 2022Shiri Krebs, ‘Law Wars: Experimental Data on the Impact of Legal Labels on Wartime Event Beliefs', (2020) 11 Harvard National Security Journal 106Shiri Krebs, ‘Predictive Technologies and Opaque Epistemology in Counter-Terrorism Decision-Making' in 9/11 and the Rise of Global Anti-Terrorism Law (K.

Lecture summary: The lecture will explore the extent to which key normative and institutional responses to the challenges raised by the digital age are compatible with, or interact with, changes in key features of the existing international human rights law (IHRL) framework. Furthermore, it will be claimed that the IHRL framework is already changing, partly due to its interaction with digital human rights. This moving normative landscape creates new opportunities for promoting human rights in the digital age, but might also raise new concerns about the political acceptability of IHRL.Professor Yuval Shany is the Hersch Lauterpacht Chair in International Law and former Dean of the Law Faculty of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

11 August, 2022 - Marco Botta is part-time Professor at the European University Institute (EUI), where he is the coordinator of the Florence Competition Programme (FCP) and ENTraNCE for Judges. In addition, he is Affiliated Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition (MPI) in Munich (Germany). Finally, he is Adjunct Professor at the Law Faculty of the University of Vienna (Austria), where he teaches EU, competition and State aid law. Prof. Botta's most recent work (forthcoming) discusses the ‘revival' of exploitative abuses in Europe. In particular, it analyses the legal test and recent enforcement trends concerning excessive and discriminatory pricing, as well as unfair trading conditions under Art. 102 TFEU. In digital markets, this revival of exploitative abuses has mostly concerned unfair trading conditions. In Prof. Botta's opinion, peculiarities of digital markets (i.e. close to zero marginal costs, winner takes all dynamics and zero-price markets) make hard for a competition agency to assess an excessive pricing case under United Brands test and the benchmarking approach.

In this episode Dr Lauren Sanders speaks with Associate Professor Shiri Krebs about cognitive biases inherent in targeting operations and what that means for compliance with the laws of armed conflict. The increased reliance on intelligence feeds from various remote sensors, and the fusion of these sensor feeds to make targeting decisions provides opportunity to entrench cultural and cognitive biases in armed conflict. Equally, the labels and interpretations ascribed to these sensor feeds impact the after action reviews, or fact finding or investigative processes that follow an engagement that results in civilian casualties. There have been many studies undertaken that demonstrate that data coming from machines is changes when it is interpreted by humans, and interpreted from that human's cognitive and cultural frame, but what is the impact of this kind of bias in the context of targeting operations and compliance with LOAC? Shiri is an Associate Professor T Deakin University's Law Faculty, as well as the Co-lead of the Law and Policy Theme in the Australian Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre (CSCRC).  In 2022 she was elected Chair of the Lieber Society on the Laws of Armed Conflict Chair (with the American Society of International Law), and she is an affiliated scholar at Stanford University's Centre for International Security and cooperation (CISAC).

Retired Justice Stephen Breyer is getting a different title: professor. Harvard said that Breyer, who retired from the Supreme Court June 30, is re-joining its law school faculty. Breyer is a graduate of the law school and first joined the Harvard faculty in 1967. He continued to teach at Harvard after he became a federal appeals court judge in 1980 until former President Bill Clinton nominated him to the Supreme Court in 1994. Harvard said in a statement that Breyer will “teach seminars and reading groups, continue to write books and produce scholarship, and participate in the intellectual life of the school and in the broader Harvard community.” Breyer, 83, does not yet have any classes listed in Harvard's online course catalog. However, the school said his appointment as Byrne Professor of Administrative Law and Process would be effective immediately. Breyer is a longtime expert in administrative law, the law surrounding government agencies, and co-authored a textbook on the subject. Harvard's announcement included a statement from Breyer. “I am very pleased to return to Harvard to teach there and to write," he said. "Among other things, I will likely try to explain why I believe it important that the next generations of those associated with the law engage in work, and take approaches to law, that help the great American constitutional experiment work effectively for the American people.” Breyer has not said what else he might do in retirement. A 1937 law allows retired Supreme Court justices to continue to hear and decide cases on lower federal courts, a practice called “sitting by designation.” Breyer has not said if that is something he will do.

The Dean of the University of Ghana's Law Faculty, Professor Raymond Atuguba, has asked for the controversial Electronic Transaction Levy (E-levy) Bill to be passed. Although he described the tax policy with unprintable words, he noted that funds generated from the said levy will save the country from looming economic threats. “We need to pass the ‘damn farah f*%king' [sic], E-levy Bill, immediately and implement it effectively,” the Professor stated.

The answers to land expropriation is contained in the Constitution, according to Professor Thuli Madonsela. She describes the supreme law of the land as a "Christmas gift – there is just so much inside it". "The reason we haven't moved forward on land is not because of the Constitution, it is despite the Constitution," she said. Madonsela was responding to a question, which criticised whether the Constitution dealt with restitution and its benefactors, at the Social Justice Summit on Tuesday. "Politicians failed to change the existing land system. But you are raising an important question - when you protect rights, it's true that the key beneficiaries of rights are people who already have the rights, already have the benefits. Because for them, what happens is then rights are violated when the state acts," Madonsela continued. "But if nobody does anything, your rights are fine .. But, in a country like ours, where we had a monopoly game, where people were excluded, it is different from [other countries' situations]. "We're talking about people who were kicked out of the game for quite some time, while the game proceeded. And the game has not been reset. So when you say everyone's rights are protected, there's a very difficult space we have to negotiate around how do we redistribute. That you can't do by law. You need to engage with people's hearts, so that people can understand why. In September, the ad hoc committee on Section 25 adopted a bill to amend the Constitution to allow expropriation without compensation, with only African National Congress (ANC) MPs voting in its favour, News24 previously reported. The bill will be considered by the National Assembly for adoption after the municipal elections. It is considered unlikely that the ANC would muster the required two-thirds majority to pass it - the Democratic Alliance has been opposed to the amendment since the inception of the process, and the Economic Freedom Fighters made it clear they would not support an amendment that did not place all land in state custody. Madonsela said it was not true the Constitution didn't "recognise the unjust past". "The Constitution is like a Christmas gift - there's just is so much inside it. And a lot of people just look at the top, and then they throw it away because they don't find the gift that they want. A lot of these gifts are wrapped; you've got to open it and unwrap it. So I do think that it does have provisions, even the land question, Section 25. It has the answers there." The summit - arranged by Madonsela, who is the Law Trust Chair in Social Justice at the Law Faculty of Stellenbosch University -comprised two days of deliberations on the topic. Delegates from around the world gathered for the discussion, under the auspices of the Musa Plan for Social Justice, or Social Justice M-Plan, which was adopted by a multi-stakeholder summit in 2019. Convened by the former Public Protector and the Council of Social Justice Champions, it aimed to review progress achieved in the implementation of the Social Justice M-Plan broadly, while specifically focusing on fostering economic parity. Madonsela maintained that social justice wasn't "the core of the rule of law". "Nobody should be above the law. Everyone should be equally protected by the law, and equal protection of the law does not mean undifferentiated treatment," she said. She used the example a friend, who was in China in the 1980s, who went in search of underwear, where "all of the shops were saying one size fits all". "She couldn't find underwear. That's what is called formal equality. Our Constitution entrenches. substantive equality. There are two components of substantive equality that we must take with us: it is the duty to embrace difference and the duty to redress disadvantage. "Equality is same treatment when required." Quoting a Constitutional Court judgment, she said: "Inequality is about treatment with equal consideration." You treat me the same way as you treat so...

This week on Womanity-Women in Unity Dr. Amaleya Goneos-Malka talks to Prof. Ntombizozuko (Zozo) Dyani-Mhango, who is a professor in the Department of Jurisprudence, Faculty of Law, University of Pretoria and inaugural fellow of the Pan African Scientific Research Council. Prof. Dyani-Mhango describes three critical functions in  her portfolio: teaching, research and academic citizenship. She highlights her research on international criminal justice in Africa, where she considers African Union member states' obligations for international crimes, the power struggles between the African Union and international criminal court, and South Africa's obligations to hold perpetrators accountable. We acknowledge the tremendous role that women play in peace, justice and security. We note the need for more women to be more involved in negotiations and occupy leadership positions. Considering the South African context and COVID-19 we unpack some of the challenges faced by students learning online, such as: lack of data, adequate privacy to attend class, and the ability to engage. In light of this point we debate if access to the Internet should be a human right. Prof. Dyani-Mhango shares aspects of the Pan African Scientific Research Council as an institution to bring together African researchers and Africa focussed research. We discuss the lack of women at the top of academic hierarchies and the foundations that female academics are laying to make the journey easier for upcoming women in their fields. Tune in for more…

The concept of the individual self - a being that is autonomous, rational and largely without vulnerability - shapes current legal frameworks, the power dynamics between individuals, and limits the opportunities of many people who are marginalised to flourish in their own conception of the good life. In his latest book, Professor Jonathan Herring argues for a radical reconceptualisation of the self. One based not on individual rights, but instead which focuses on promoting and protecting caring relationships between people. He argues that the law has the potential to play a powerful role in shaping a relational concept of self, and that this is what it should do. Instead of discriminating against vulnerability, the law should celebrate the universal vulnerabilities of all. Rather than disadvantaging carers, the law has the power to recognise our mutual interdependence and interconnectedness; this will bring about a more equitable society for all, one in which the value and dignity of all variations of what it is to be human can be recognised and celebrated.  In Law and the Relational Self (Cambridge UP, 2019) Herring provides a comprehensive theoretical framework of the relational self which he applies in real-life practical situations: he examines domestic abuse, medical law, family law and criminal law. In each of these examples the Herring makes a convincing case for replacing the concept of the individual self with that of the relational self, and shows the power of law in doing so.   This is an important book and should change the way that legal scholars, practitioners and all individuals think about themselves and how the law works. It offers potential for a new way of being, and a world where the things that really matter are protected in law.  Jonathan Herring is a fellow in Law at Exeter College, and a professor of Law in the Law Faculty at the University of Oxford. At the time that this interview was recorded he had over 250 publications, including 107 books on topics spanning family law, medical law, criminal law and legal issues surrounding care and old age.

About the lecture: Polish parliamentary elections were held in of October 2015. Since that time, the political situation in the country has changed significantly. The Polish voting constituency gave unprecedented support to the conservative "Law and Justice" party, allowing it to govern unchallenged. In the course of the months that followed, imprecise and oversimplified assertions about the situation in Poland were disseminated by the media, and in several cases, such misinformation appeared in documents issued by international institutions. The Ordo Iuris' report "State of Democracy, Human Rights and the Rule of Law in Poland - Recent Developments" provides reliable data allowing for a better-informed public debate. The Report provides the first fact-based, comprehensive and substantive legal analysis of the reforms introduced by the new government. This event was sponsored by IWP's Kosciuszko Chair of Polish Studies, and took place at The Institute of World Politics on September 16, 2016. About the speakers: Joanna Banasiuk, Ph.D. received her doctoral degree in law at the Faculty of Law of the University of Białystok, where she works as an assistant professor.
