Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal examines critical perspectives on international law, particularly focusing on its historical development, its role in perpetuating inequalities, and its engagement with postcolonialism, emancipation, and economic exploitation. Recent articles explore themes such as global health equity, the oppression of minorities in postcolonial states, the intersection of photography and colonial legacies, critiques of emancipatory theories, the internationalization of American police power, and the fragility of the ban on conquest. Additionally, the journal delves into Rosa Luxemburg's theories in relation to climate catastrophe, seabed mining, and feminism, as well as critiques of the business and human rights paradigm, the role of international law in civil society discourse, and the entanglements of counterterrorism regimes with the Question of Palestine.
