Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Summer 05: International Law Without a Global Cop
Q: In a major crisis, does international law actually stop powerful countries or do they just do whatever they want?
The law doesn't physically stop militaries, but it constrains action by creating powerful normative and political incentives; states must justify actions using legal language and can face sanctions or sanctions-style scrutiny if they deviate from established norms.
Summer 05: International Law Without a Global Cop
Q: If there's no global codebook, where do you actually look to prove what the law is?
As a scholar, I start with treaties as the primary source; if none exist, I rely on customary international law, requiring proven state practice and a sense of opinio juris to show that states feel legally compelled to act a certain way.
Summer Intro: Why World War 3 Hasn't Happend
Q: Do people actually use R2P in the real world, or is it just academic theory?
R2P has real-world application as seen in Myanmar in 2021, where citizens and international actors pressed for intervention, though actual action depends on UN Security Council approval and geopolitical interests.
Summer Intro: Why World War 3 Hasn't Happend
Q: If states hold absolute sovereignty, isn't the UN essentially powerless to enforce human rights?
The UN is not a global government and cannot physically intervene without violating Westphalian sovereignty; thus, enforcement depends on political will and mechanisms like R2P rather than a standing army, unless security council approvals are obtained.
Summer Intro: Why World War 3 Hasn't Happend
Q: How did the horrors of World War II actually change the rules for individual humans?
The Holocaust and the scale of atrocities shattered the illusion that sovereign authority could be morally absolute, leading to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, which enshrined inherent human rights beyond citizenship or state.”
