  • I have been waiting for this kind of podcast

    for a long time. There was definitely a vacuum that needed to be filled to cater to those interested or working in public international law.

    This podcast succeeds in filling this gap; I am even inclined to call it cutting-edge. It is engaging, well produced and has the easy-listening "podcast-feel" that many podcasts on more technical matters lack - at least for someone with a background in international law.

    I hope new episodes will be released more frequently though, I would certainly listen... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 47: Meeting the Moment: ICC Sanctions and the Future of International Adjudication
Q: How can and should international courts, the ICC, but also other tribunals meet this moment and brace for the future?
The guests call for state support and institutional resilience, alongside engagement from civil society, banks, domestic courts and constitutional systems. They stress that international courts are part of a broader rule-of-law system.
Episode 47: Meeting the Moment: ICC Sanctions and the Future of International Adjudication
Q: As former ASP President and as someone who still participates in the ASP meetings, how distinctive is this moment for the ICC?
Christian Wenaweser says the ICC has faced political challenges before, but this moment is different because there is an explicit attempt to dismantle the institution.
Episode 46: Protection of Civilians: Crisis, Commentary and Compliance
Q: How should we make sense of the value and importance of zooming in to look closely at IHL rules, given the broader pattern of civilian suffering?
Jain says detailed interpretation and a systemic view of civilian harm should inform each other, while Khan distinguishes legal gaps, interpretive or fact-finding problems, and failures to comply. Commentaries may clarify rules and address readings that undermine their protective purpose, but cannot remedy deliberate disregard of clear obligations.
Episode 46: Protection of Civilians: Crisis, Commentary and Compliance
Q: Could you explain what you meant by saying that starvation in contemporary armed conflicts arises through patterned forms of aggregated deprivation across the basic systems people require to survive?
Khan distinguishes systematic patterns of conduct from the systemic nature of civilian survival. Food, water, health care and other necessities rely on connected infrastructure and services, including electricity, transport, banking and telecommunications. Disruptions across these systems can combine to deprive civilians even when food or other essential items remain physically available.
Episode 43: Sudan—Does international law have anything to say?
Q: Should peace come before justice, or should accountability be pursued concurrently?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer; the guests argue for a nuanced approach that centers victims and uses a mix of mechanisms, while acknowledging that sustained peace enhances the likelihood of meaningful justice.
