JIB/JAB - Ep. 43: Dill & Hakimi: The Attacks on Iran-Implications for International Law
A conversation with Monica Hakimi of Columbia Law School and Janina Dill of the University of Oxford on crisis facing the international legal order, as exacerbated by the unlawful US-Israeli war against Iran. The conversation begins with the jus ad bellum analysis of the attacks, before turning to explore whether and why the UN Charter system on the use of force is collapsing, and why states have failed to sufficiently defend it. The discussion examines what may emerge to replace the current system, and whether it would satisfy the essential requirements for the rule of law, and what states might do to develop new authority structures and institutions to preserve the most important aspects of the system. Finally, the discussion turns to explore what international lawyers and scholars should be doing in a moment when unlawfulness has given way to open lawlessness. Dill and Hakimi offer complementary but distinct perspectives on the structural causes of the system's fragility, the evolving role of legal scholarship, and the urgent need for states to take ownership of international law through forward-leaning legal positions and new coalitions.

JIB/JAB - Episode 42 - Monica Hakimi: Understanding the Current Crisis in International Law
A conversation with Monica Hakimi of Columbia Law School about how best to understand and respond to the current transformation of the international legal order. We explore some of Monica's recent theoretical work on how to better understand the operation of international law, as a necessary step to being able to comprehend both why and how the international legal order is in transformation, and thus how best to recognize the opportunities that may allow us to better respond to the crisis. This takes into a discussion of practical ways international lawyers, scholars, and jurists might best respond to specific aspects of the crisis, including the weakening of both the jus ad bellum and IHL regimes. A fascinating and necessary conversation! For links to bios and all materials referenced, check our website at: https://jibjabpodcast.com

JIB/JAB - Ep. 41 - Finucane on the US Killing of Drug Smugglers
Conversation with Brian Finucane of The International Crisis Group and former legal advisor in the U.S. Dept. of State, on the legality of the US military strikes against alleged drug smugglers in the Southern Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. We discuss whether either self-defense under jus ad bellum, or international humanitarian law applicable to armed conflict, apply to these strikes, and if not, whether there is any possible justification or defense for these killings under either international human rights law or domestic U.S. criminal law. We also discuss possible military intervention in Venezuela, and put the strikes into the broader context of the ongoing assault against the international rule of law.
