Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 40: Palestinian Legal Frontiers: SC Res 2803 and beyond
Q: How does the Trump Peace Plan relate to existing UN frameworks?
It lacks a reaffirmation of previous principles outlined in past resolutions, potentially reframing the discourse on Palestinian rights and statehood.
Episode 34: In the Family: Family Tropes in International Law
Q: How can the metaphor of the family help us think differently about international law?
Marks emphasizes that reflecting on the family as a metaphor can expose power dynamics and challenge normative structures in international law.
Episode 34: In the Family: Family Tropes in International Law
Q: Why did you write this piece?
Susan Marks explains that the idea of the world as a family isn't unique to one culture and addresses how this representation can obscure divisions in society.
Episode 32: No Country for Women: Lawyering for Gender Justice in Afghanistan
Q: What about the recent decisions made by international courts regarding the Taliban?
Several countries have recently taken steps against the Taliban to hold them accountable for violations of the CEDAW Convention, signaling international recognition of women's rights.
Episode 32: No Country for Women: Lawyering for Gender Justice in Afghanistan
Q: Karima, could you explain what exactly does gender apartheid mean?
