  • Rights, Transfers, and Transnational Law: Exploring Football's Legal and Regulatory Landscape
    In this episode, we reflect on international sports law and the governance of football. Joined by Dr. Antoine Duval, we discuss the complexities of the football transfer system, particularly considering historical shifts following two landmark judgements: the Bosman (European Court of Justice, 1995) and the Diarra (Court of Justice of the European Union, 2024) rulings.   How have these landmark rulings offered the possibility for the football transfer system to shift in favour of players? What even is a football transfer? And, more broadly, what legal and ethical issues arise around the ‘world's game' and football mega events like the upcoming 2034 FIFA Men’s World Cup, which will be hosted by Saudi Arabia? In this episode, we discuss all of this and more.  Guest:   Dr Antoine Duval, Senior Researcher in International Law, TMC Asser Institute  Host and Editor:  Flora Bensadon, Research Trainee, TMC Asser Institute   Editor:  Dr Carl Lewis, Researcher in Public International Law, TMC Asser Institute    Further reading:  A Duval, 'Football at a Crossroads' (2024) Verfassungsblog   Bosman ruling (Case C415/93): Union royal belge des sociétés de football association ASBL, Royal club liégeois SA v Jean March Bosman and others and Union des associations européennes de football (UEFA) v Jean-Marc Bosman.  Diarra ruling (Case C-650/22): Fédération internationale de football association (FIFA) v BZ.   For further information, news and readings on questions of transnational sports law please visit the Asser International Sports Law Centre webpage.

  • The Rules of Modern Warfare and Ancient Traditions
    In this episode, we reflect on how Dharmic traditions, such as Buddhism and Hinduism, engaged with principles of humanity in warfare long before the codification of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) with the Geneva Conventions. Joined by Dr. Robert Heinsch, Dr. Raj Balkaran, and Dr. Christina Kilby, we consider key IHL concepts such as collateral damage and proportionality, while reflecting on what ancient philosophies, theologies and laws can teach us about ethical warfare today. By reflecting on various historical roots and traditions of humanitarian principles, the episode seeks to encourage engagement with the evolution and applications of the laws of armed conflict. What role do the principles of humanity, distinction and proportionality play in the law of armed conflict? How does the element of storytelling in the Sanskrit epics contribute to the dissemination of ethical values? How has religion influenced International Humanitarian Law, specifically the implementation of humanitarian principles?  Guests:    Dr. Robert Heinsch, Associate Professor in International Law at Leiden University  Dr. Raj Balkaran, Scholar of Sanskrit Narrative Literature, Public Intellectual, Online Educator  Dr. Christina Kilby, Associate Professor of Religion at James Madison University    Editors:   Host - Dr Carl Lewis, Researcher in Public International Law, TMC Asser Institute   Co-host - Wamika Sachdev, Intern, Asser Institute   Flora Bensadon, Intern, Asser Institute

  • Gaza and the International Legal Community(?): South Africa v Israel at the ICJ
    The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has now provided two orders of provisional measures in the Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (South Africa v. Israel) case, following the further deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Gaza since the 26th of January 2024. But what are provisional measures? What does it mean to invoke a breach of an obligation owed to the ‘international community’? What implications follow from these proceedings beyond the peace palace? And in what sense could it be argued that the ICJ may be denying reality? In this episode, we discuss all of this and more.   Guests: Dr León Castellanos-Jankiewicz, Senior Researcher in International Law at the TMC Asser Institute Dr Shahd Hammouri, Lecturer in Law at the University of Kent Dr Giulia Pinzauti, Assistant Professor in International Law at Leiden University Dr Sarah Thin, Assistant Professor in International and European Law at Radboud University   Host: Dr Carl Lewis, Researcher in Public International Law, TMC Asser Institute

  • Why so serious? The importance of (fictional) maps in international law
    Why do states take maps so seriously? What role do they play in the international legal order? And how do international courts take them into consideration? We discuss all of this and more, with an eye to the ongoing Arbitral Award of 3 October 1899 (Guyana v. Venezuela) case at the International Court of Justice.  Guests:  Dr Yusra Suedi, Lecturer in International Law at the University of Manchester.  Dr Brendan Plant, Hopkins–Parry Fellow and Director of Studies in Law at Downing College, University of Cambridge.  Prof Krista Wiegand, Professor in International Relations at the University of Tennessee,   Mr William Worster, Senior Lecturer at The Hague University of Applied Sciences    Hosts:  Dr Carl Lewis, Researcher in Public International Law, TMC Asser Institute  Ms Miranda Lalla, Student in the Advanced LLM in Public International Law, Leiden University and Intern, TMC Asser Institute    Related Works:   Bendel J and Suedi Y, Public Interest Litigation in International Law (Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group 2024).   Plant B, ‘Arbitral Award of Oct. 3, 1899 (Guy.
