  • Clear, informative and entertaining

    This is an excellent podcast hosted by a team of outstanding international law scholars. It’s beautifully produced, informative, and highly engaging. While clear & succinct summaries of legal doctrine are foregrounded, they are presented with humour and critically analysed in their political & economic context. The sprinklings of progressive critique and occasional strong language are icing on the cake. Perfect listening material for international law scholars, students and anyone who takes an i... more

  • How is this podcast free?

    Genuine experts in their field talking about stuff they know REALLY well in a way which is interesting and accessible to non-experts. And speaking frankly and openly about sensitive and important issues in a way we don’t often hear.

    Warm and passionate presenter and guest.

    Essential listening for people interested in the law behind the conflict in Gaza. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

  • Really great pod

    Really interesting and explained in a way that’s so easily understood.

    As someone with an LLM looking for opportunities in the international legal space it’s also great to hear from academics on how they got started.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

71. Prosecuting Aggression: Building a Special Tribunal for Ukraine
Q: What are the major benefits and risks of the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression?
The main benefit is delivering direct justice for the gravest crime of aggression and deterring future acts, while a key risk is the perception that justice could be compromised for political settlements; the guests emphasize the tribunal's role in reinforcing the UN Charter and the international rules-based order.
71. Prosecuting Aggression: Building a Special Tribunal for Ukraine
Q: What's your drink?
Mykola chooses a White Muscat from Sevastopol, and Mark mentions a gin and tonic with a cigar, highlighting a relaxed, informal atmosphere that contrasts with the gravity of the topic.
69. Evidence Before International Courts: Facts, Proof, and Procedure
Q: What explains the ICJ's reactive, party-driven approach to fact-finding today, and has it changed since the book was written?
The ICJ remains largely reactive because it relies on the parties to drive the fact-finding process, with the court providing limited proactive direction and sometimes refraining from appointing experts; however, there have been reforms and a tighter practice in recent years, including court-appointed experts in some cases and a greater willingness to scrutinize evidence in high-profile matters like Gambia and Myanmar.
68. The Right to Protest: Law, Resistance, and Regulation
Q: Maria, what is your drink of choice for this morning?
I'm drinking water, given the 10 a.m. timing, but I also enjoy coffee and a Gemé red wine when appropriate, which reflects a lighter, personal touch at the start of the conversation.
67. UN Special Rapporteurs and Procedures: Independent Voices in an Uncertain World
Q: What is your ultimate comfort food?
Both hosts shared lighthearted answers about simple, comforting meals like burgers and chips or a family curry, used to close on a lighter note after heavy discussions.
