A pesar de investigaciones previas sobre derechos humanos, pocos estudios han analizado las consecuencias humanitarias de estas interrupciones en tiempos de guerra. Este estudio analiza cómo los apagones de internet afectan la supervivencia y los derechos de los civiles bajo el derecho internacional. Su objetivo es evaluar el impacto de las interrupciones deliberadas de internet en civiles y abogar por reconocer el acceso a internet como un derecho fundamental durante conflictos. Utilizando un enfoque de estudio de caso cualitativo, examina marcos legales, informes de ONG y cobertura mediática para evaluar los efectos de los cortes en las guerras mencionadas. Los hallazgos revelan que los apagones de internet perturban gravemente las alertas de emergencia, la asistencia médica y la coordinación humanitaria, afectando desproporcionadamente a civiles y violando principios del derecho internacional humanitario. Este artículo aboga por incluir explícitamente el acceso a internet en instrumentos legales para fortalecer la responsabilidad estatal y proteger la dignidad humana.]]>2026-01-30T00:00:00+00:00Jamshid Zargarihttps://tribunainternacional.uchile.cl/index.php/RTI2026-01-30T00:00:00+00:00Revista Tribuna Internacionaltag:vifa-recht.de,2026-01-29:/278070Restitution of Stolen Foreign Cultural Property: Choice of Law & JusticeChinese Journal of Transnational Law, Ahead of Print.

Abstract
Unilateral sanctions, means of their enforcement and over-compliance are broadly used today. At the same time, their status is highly dubious under international law. Traditionally the issue of unilateral sanctions is only addressed from the perspective of the law of international responsibility by seeking to assess whether unilateral sanctions can be qualified as countermeasures and proclaiming the right of States to decide on penalties for domestically unacceptable activities. This approach results in the expanding practices of imposing secondary sanctions, civil, administrative or criminal penalties for circumvention of unilateral sanctions regimes. High risk and severeness of penalties for circumvention of unilateral sanctions, uncertainty and multiplicity of sanctions regimes, adoption of non-binding documents, application of pressure campaigns result in growing fear and over-compliance from different actors. It affects inter alia fulfillment of the obligation of due diligence by States and businesses to ensure that neither international obligations nor human rights are violated by the State organs and private actors under the jurisdiction or control of the sanctioning or third States.]]>2025-12-22T00:00:00+00:00http://academic.oup.com/chinesejil2025-12-22T00:00:00+00:00Chinese Journal of Internationaltag:vifa-recht.de,2025-12-13:/274267Authoritarian populism, neoliberalism, and The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis BonaparteAbstractThis article explores how the relationship between right wing populism, the state and the gl...]]>

Since then, the Trump administration’s position on Ukraine has continued to vacillate, and its new tariff policy has been expanded to cover all US trading partners, causing significant uncertainty in markets and supply chains. The US has bombed Iranian nuclear sites and continues to support the Israeli genocide in Gaza by supplying of weapons and providing diplomatic cover (as does the UK and Germany). Trump has withdrawn the US from the Paris Agreements (again), the Human Rights Council and the World Health Organisation and has cut 83 per cent of USAID foreign programmes.22 Both Elon Musk (early on a key figure within the second Trump administration) and Steve Bannon (a leading figure in the MAGA movement) have performed Hitler-style salutes at public events (Musk doing so at Trump’s inauguration). Meanwhile in his address to Congress on 4 March 2025, President Trump said that ‘it has been stated by many that the first month of our presidency … is the most successful in the history of our nation … what makes it even more impressive is that, do you know who number two is, George Washington.’33]]>2025-09-23T00:00:00+00:00http://academic.oup.com/lril2025-09-23T00:00:00+00:00London Review of International Lawtag:vifa-recht.de,2025-12-13:/274269International law, populism and Palestine: an interview with Nahed SamourIn this interview, Dr Richard Joyce and Professor Sundhya Pahuja are joined by German-Palestinian in...]]>In this interview, Dr Richard Joyce and Professor Sundhya Pahuja are joined by German-Palestinian international legal scholar, Dr Nahed Samour, currently based at Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands.11 Dr Samour has studied law and Islamic studies at the universities of Bonn, Birzeit/Ramallah, London (SOAS), Berlin (Humboldt University), Harvard and Damascus and clerked at the Court of Appeals in Berlin.

Abstract
This paper examines law taking the genre form of legislation while hosting the themes, ideologies, and relationships of a genre aligned with populism: melodramatic political discourse. The US’s International Religious Freedom Act shows how US domestic populism becomes globalised and authorised through domestic legislation asserting self-scripted planetary jurisdiction.]]>2025-08-28T00:00:00+00:00http://academic.oup.com/lril2025-08-28T00:00:00+00:00London Review of International Lawtag:vifa-recht.de,2025-12-13:/274271Pinballs, religion, and the family: explaining the growth of rightwing transnational activism with a new theory of strategic interactionAbstractThis article explains the growth of rightwing transnational family-centric networks.

Abstract
This article explains the growth of rightwing transnational family-centric networks. Emerging in the late 1990s, these networks have increased in size and visibility, even appearing before international organisations such as the UN. Building on the scholarship on transcalar transnational activism, I present a theory that explains the dynamics of network growth by analogy with pinball—using techniques that I call shooting, bouncing, and ramping—to champion a pre-political, heteronormative conception of the ‘natural family’ when acting and reacting to political developments in cities, states, universities, the press, and international organisations. In pinballing, rightwing networks strategically deploy their conception of family values to strengthen alliances, increase visibility, and change policy.]]>2025-08-26T00:00:00+00:00http://academic.oup.com/lril2025-08-26T00:00:00+00:00London Review of International Lawtag:vifa-recht.de,2025-12-13:/274272Counterterrorism and the Question of Palestine: contemporary delegitimisation, historical erasure and the redundancy of international humanitarian lawAbstractThe role that Israel’s occupation of Palestine, and Palestinian resistance to that occupatio...]]>
Abstract
The role that Israel’s occupation of Palestine, and Palestinian resistance to that occupation, have played in shaping counterterrorism regimes in the West has become even more apparent in recent years. One example of this is the recent wave of criminalisation, through counterterrorism laws, of pro-Palestine solidarities in the UK. This reflection takes these recent trends as an opportunity to critically examine the entanglements (historic and contemporary, discursive and material) between terrorism, counterterrorism and the Question of Palestine. It suggests that the current preoccupation of the UK’s counterterrorism regime with pro-Palestine activism can be explained by reference to, and is itself a manifestation of, the centrality of the Question of Palestine to the historical evolution and eventual metastasising of the global counterterrorism regime.]]>2025-08-20T00:00:00+00:00http://academic.oup.com/lril2025-08-20T00:00:00+00:00London Review of International Lawtag:vifa-recht.de,2025-12-13:/274273Taking the colonial legacy seriously: transitional justice, decolonisation and the postcolonial stateAbstractThe history of colonialism remains a peripheral issue within transitional justice.

Abstract
The history of colonialism remains a peripheral issue within transitional justice. However, in recent years a postcolonial critique of the field has emerged. This article contends that the critique, contra its emphasis on epistemology and the politics of knowledge, must engage with the postcolonial state if its normative endeavours are not to ring hollow.]]>2025-08-08T00:00:00+00:00http://academic.oup.com/lril2025-08-08T00:00:00+00:00London Review of International Lawtag:vifa-recht.de,2025-12-13:/274274The global attack on academic freedom: the limits and potentials of international lawAbstractThis reflective essay explores the global drift toward populism and antidemocratic governanc...]]>
Abstract
This reflective essay explores the global drift toward populism and antidemocratic governance that, among other things, has escalated attacks on higher education and academic freedom. These attacks tend to target faculty and students in law schools, the social sciences and humanities who are critical of growing oppression and the dismantling of citizen’s civil and political rights. The harsh backlash by conservative forces throughout 2024 to university protests of the Israel-Gaza war is a recent expression of the global attack on critical thinking. To counter this global trend, I turn to international law and explore the effectiveness of enshrined rights to freedom of expression and education. I then turn to new transnational efforts by lawyers, activists and civil society organisations in the global south, particularly within the Americas, to push back against extremist attacks on universities. What these innovative non-state efforts underscore is the need for rethinking the basic building blocks of the international human rights regime that are grounded in nation-state sovereignty and individual rights. The long-term implications of this rethinking—and well beyond the scope of this essay—is the need to reflect on the value of decolonising the framework of international law regarding human rights and what innovative praxis this may engender.]]>2025-07-25T00:00:00+00:00http://academic.oup.com/lril2025-07-25T00:00:00+00:00London Review of International Lawtag:vifa-recht.de,2025-12-13:/274275‘We will not allow the boat to be rocked’: colour revolutions, civil society, and international lawAbstract‘Colour revolutions’ are arguably the leitmotif of right-wing populist leaders when justifyi...]]>
Abstract
‘Colour revolutions’ are arguably the leitmotif of right-wing populist leaders when justifying domestic legislation introduced to curtail or eradicate civil society from domestic arenas—‘the closing space of civil society’. In the West, these revolutions are perceived as non-violent, initiated, and led by local civil society. Contrary to this, populist leaders define them as foreign-funded changes of legitimate governments. Their narratives frame civil society (conducting revolutions) as foreign, elite, and working against the will of the people. International law is not a neutral bystander but an active participant in these processes. The international community relies on the right to freedom of association to defend space for civil society and populists on the principle of non-intervention to protect their sovereignty. These uses and consequential effects on international law reveal the idea of civil society lying behind the rules. This article argues that international law is constituted by and constitutive of a particular idea of civil society imagined as a free space, a third sector, and primarily composed of NGOs. This idea plays into the populist narrative of a foreign, elite civil society working against the will of the people with the aim of forging change of legitimate governments.]]>2025-07-18T00:00:00+00:00http://academic.oup.com/lril2025-07-18T00:00:00+00:00London Review of International Lawtag:vifa-recht.de,2025-12-13:/274276Anglo-Indian, Anglo-Turkish, Anglo-Chinese?

Abstract
In the late eighteenth century, courts developed the concept of an ‘Anglo-Indian domicile’ to categorise individuals of European descent who resided in India. Although domiciled in India, such persons were subject to English law as members of a broader community of European British subjects. Other forms of ‘hyphenated’ domicile were articulated in the late nineteenth century in places where Britain exercised extraterritorial jurisdiction, including the ‘Anglo-Turkish domicile’ in the Ottoman empire and the ‘Anglo-Chinese domicile’ in China. In this article, I explore how the balance between physical residence in territory and membership of a broader community inherent in the concept of the hyphenated domicile was critical to the project of imperial ordering.]]>2025-07-11T00:00:00+00:00http://academic.oup.com/lril2025-07-11T00:00:00+00:00London Review of International Lawtag:vifa-recht.de,2025-12-13:/274277‘We, the peoples of the Earth’: ALBA, populism and the making of an alternative international lawAbstractThis article explores the populist approach to international law of the Bolivarian Alliance ...]]>
Abstract
This article explores the populist approach to international law of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of our America (ALBA). Over the past decade, there has been a proliferation of scholarship depicting populist politics as hostile to international law. Yet, across the global South, there are examples of leaders promoting regional unity, creating multilateral alliances, and engaging with international law, all while advancing a populist discourse based around an idea of ‘the people’. We argue that ALBA is one such example. Focusing on its activities as a fluid coalition in international institutions between 2009 and 2019, we demonstrate how ALBA developed a unique technique of international legal engagement and contestation, based around claims to represent ‘the people’ (or ‘peoples’) of the earth. In this way, ALBA shows how the adoption of a populist register can provide an alternative way of both belonging to, and resisting, the international legal order.]]>2025-05-12T00:00:00+00:00http://academic.oup.com/lril2025-05-12T00:00:00+00:00London Review of International Lawtag:vifa-recht.de,2025-12-13:/274253Restitution of Objects Unethically Acquired During the Colonial Era: The Intersections of Public and Private International LawChinese Journal of Transnational Law, Ahead of Print.
