After a hiatus, we return with another reading group session in our ‘Whose International Law is it Anyways’ series. This time around, we discuss B.S. Chimni’s text, ‘The Geopolitics of Refugee Studies: A view from the South’.
Through Chimni, we ask questions such as: What is the relationship between international law and politics? How does international law see refugees and refugee-generating events? How, if at all, does the global North exercise control over international law and international institutions? And how can we re-imagine international law and what would a ‘new new approach’ to international law look like?
This discussion series is open to all—academics, activists, and all of us in between.
Date: 26 June 2024
Time: 17:00 CET, via zoom.
Link to the text will be sent upon registration.
