Populism and international law
There exists a growing literature on a claimed populist anti-elitist backlash, within liberal democracies, against international law and institutions. Yet this literature tends to paint generalised trends and lack context-specific studies on where, and with what effects on multilateral engagement, political leaders have used scapegoating or de-legitimisation of supra-national institutions for national-level political advantage. This article is on…
Regulating transparency on human rights and modern slavery in corporate supply chains
This article examines some of the limits of reporting schemes as a tool for addressing business-related human rights risks and for engaging business in a collaborative effort to improve human rights. Australia’s Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) (MSA) is the latest example globally of a legislative scheme intended to foster corporate action on such risks within businesses’ operations and supply chains. Some such schemes require firms to implement hum…
Business and Human Rights
The ‘business and human rights’ (BHR) field emerged amidst concerns over the adequacy of national legal systems and institutions in addressing human rights impacts of global market integration. BHR relies on governance networks and advocacy that transcend a ‘national’ paradigm. Yet BHR norms and initiatives remain anchored in national governmental entities and processes. BHR thus prompts reflection on the coherence and relevance of ‘domestic inst…
Empty Rituals or Workable Models? Towards a Business and Human Rights Treaty
Within the still-emerging field of business and human rights (‘BHR’), the question of whether a treaty is required in order meaningfully to address BHR ‘governance gaps’ is one that is attracting renewed advocacy, commentary and diplomatic activity. By contrast, when the United Nations (‘UN’) Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (‘UNGPs’) were first adopted in 2011, the balance of opinion amongst duty-bearers appears to have been that …

Too Little, Too Late? International Oversight of Contract Negotiations in Post-conflict Liberia
International actors involved in transitional post-conflict situations often focus their attention on the reconstruction of a state's political apparatus. Even where control of natural resources is central to the conflict, there tends to be less consideration of resource governance issues in transitional periods. This article examines one particular aspect of resource governance – the negotiation and signing of foreign investment contracts – in t…
Transitional Justice
An eventual sustained democratic transition process in Zimbabwe may include a ‘truth and reconciliation’ commission. The need for—and possible form of—any such institution is situated in a number of discussions: the balance of principle and pragmatism that peace deals sometimes require; comparative experiences in other societies and the promise and limits of institutional modelling; the dynamic between global expectations or prescriptions and gro…
Australian-African relations 2002
Various recent developments and events in Africa, including the involvement in 2002 of the Prime Minister of Australia in Commonwealth initiatives in relation to Zimbabwe, have made it timely to review the nature and extent of Australia's relations with African countries. This commentary describes current Australian policies on Africa, including trade relations and aid programs, against the background of the political and economic situation in Af…
