AsianSIL 101: (Episode 6) Internal Self-Determination in International Law: History, Theory, and Practice

Tuesday, October 4, 2022 • Duration 28:23

In this episode, Prof Mohammad Shahabuddin (University of Birmingham, UK) speaks with Dr Kalana Senaratne (University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka) on the latter's new book titled 'Internal Self-Determination in International Law: History, Theory, and Practice' (Cambridge University Press). In this book, Kalana invites the readers to rethink the history, theory and practice of internal self-determination in a complex world. Kalana shows that it is a principle of great, but varied, potential. Internal self-determination promises democratic freedoms and autonomy to peoples; but it also represents an idea which is not historically new, and is ultimately a principle which can be promoted for different and conflicting purposes. Written in a clear and accessible style, this book will be of interest to international lawyers, state-officials, minority groups, and students of law and politics.

AsianSIL 101: (Episode 5) The Workings of Human Rights, Law and Justice: A Journey from Nepal to Nobel Nominee

Sunday, May 22, 2022 • Duration 22:04

Dr Ilaria Zavoli (University of Leeds) speaks with Prof Surya Subedi QC (University of Leeds) about his new book, 'The Workings of Human Rights, Law and Justice: A Journey from Nepal to Nobel Nominee' (Routledge). Drawing on the personal experience of a leading international jurist, this book provides insights into the workings of international law and human rights from a global perspective that transcends the traditional divide between the West and the East, and the Global South and Global North. The work follows the author’s remarkable journey from a simple village in Nepal to becoming an international jurist acclaimed for his innovative academic and influential practical legal work and nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. It offers insights into the powers bearing on international policymaking, the dynamics of human rights negotiations with governments, and the effects of their outcomes on the lives of their citizens. While much has been written on international human rights law, this inspirational memoir casts a new light on the working of human rights, law, and justice through the eyes of a leading actor'.

AsianSIL 101: (Episode 4) We, the Robots

Monday, September 27, 2021 • Duration 36:54

Dr Maiko Meguro (University of Amsterdam) speaks with Dean Simon Chesterman (National University of Singapore) about his new book, 'We, the Robots' (Cambridge University Press). Should we regulate artificial intelligence? Can we? From self-driving cars and high-speed trading to algorithmic decision-making, the way we live, work, and play is increasingly dependent on AI systems that operate with diminishing human intervention. These fast, autonomous, and opaque machines offer great benefits – and pose significant risks. This book examines how our laws are dealing with AI, as well as what additional rules and institutions are needed – including the role that AI might play in regulating itself. Drawing on diverse technologies and examples from around the world, the book offers lessons on how to manage risk, draw red lines, and preserve the legitimacy of public authority. Though the prospect of AI pushing beyond the limits of the law may seem remote, these measures are useful now – and will be essential if it ever does.

AsianSIL 101: (Episode 3) Capitalism as Civilisation: A History of International Law

Tuesday, August 31, 2021 • Duration 35:17

Dr Ali Hammoudi (Postdoctoral Fellow, National University of Singapore) talks to Dr Ntina Tzouvala (Senior Lecturer, Australian National University) about her newly published book on 'Capitalism as Civilisation: A History of International' (Cambridge University Press, 2020). Ntina's book is highly praised as timely intervention in the history and theory of international law. Her book explores the dynamics between capitalism, international law, and imperialism. She argues that the standard of civilisation in international law should be approached as a historically contingent structure which reflects the contradictions inherent in a capitalist modernity. The same standard of civilisation has been used to legitimize imperialism, and further the capitalist mode of production. She illustrates how the standard of civilisation emerged in the 19th century and how it persisted throughout the history of international law from the mandate system to the present day with the so-called war on terror.
