The Individual in International Law, 2024

The chapter argues that it cannot because the logic of capitalism is embedded in its very form, making it impossible for international law to overcome its history of complicity in violence and dispossession. Whether, however, there are still ways in which individuals can use international law (specifically international human rights law) in struggles which are anti-capitalist and emancipatory is considered. This is explored in reference to the work of environmental activists in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The chapter concludes that while there may be some utility in using human rights to articulate radical demands in institutional settings, law cannot and should not be at the centre of emancipatory movements.

Research Handbook on Global Governance , 2025

First, I set out a materialist account of global governance. I propose that proliferation of national, transnational and international rules, regulations and institutions, reflects the increased juridification of social relations in the era of globalisation. According to this account, global governance is the form that international law takes in neoliberalism. Second, drawing on commodity-form theory of international law, I argue that since violence is inherent in the form of law, it is also inherent in global governance. Finally, I propose that this centrality of violence to the project of global governance is both concealed and neutralised through discursive work of both international legal scholarship and international legal institutions.

Public interest in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and its proceedings is at a level perhaps never seen before; so too in the International Criminal Court (ICC), its Prosecutor at once urged to act and condemned for inaction, his recent request to judges for the issuing of arrest warrants both celebrated and damned. International law has emerged as the global vernacular of both condemnation and legitimation; few commentators today speak of Gaza or Palestine without invoking the language of il/legality. What are we to make of this groundswell of interest in and resort to international law? What is the significance of the current series of ICJ proceedings and popular engagements with them? How should we think about the clamorous championing of The Hague and its institutions as the harbingers of justice? The editors of the London Review of International Law invited our advisory editors and others in the academic community of critical scholars to reflect on these questions.
