The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty’s Gordian Knot
This article analyses whether Articles I and II of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) permit nuclear sharing. It argues—contrary to previous research—that the ordinary meaning of Articles I and II, the NPT’s travaux préparatoires and subsequent agreements and practice point to a deep ambiguity as to whether nuclear sharing is permitted under these Articles. It then suggests that, while Articles I and II NPT offer little help in determinin…
Decline in Processing Speed Tells Only Half the Story
Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) may experience cognitive difficulties, including slowed processing speed. Thus, we investigated if processing speed changes over time. From 1992–2001, 103 participants with SCD aged 3–16 years (n ≤ 8.99 = 45; n ≥ 9.00 = 58) completed cognitive assessments. MRI was available for 54 participants. Between 1992–2002, 58 participants consented to one or two further assessments. A repeated measures regression usi…
Law, War and Letter Writing
When (some) international crises arise, it has become common for lawyers to respond by penning open letters that call out violations of international law and call on governments, international organizations or civil society to take a suite of actions. In this article, we argue that the prevalence of international law open letter writing means that open letters can now be viewed as a genre of international legal practice. Consequently, there is a …
Pain-Related Injustice Appraisals, Sickle Cell Stigma, and Racialized Discrimination in the Youth with Sickle Cell Disease
Executive Function and Processing Speed in Children Living with Sickle Cell Anemia
Executive function and processing speed difficulties are observed in children living with sickle cell anemia (SCA). The influence of processing speed on executive function is not well understood. We recruited 59 children living with SCA and 24 matched controls aged 8-18 years between 2010 and 2016 from clinics in the UK. Children completed tests in processing speed and cognitive flexibility, subdomains of executive function. MRI scans were conduc…
The Construction of Global Hierarchies through Disarmament Law
This article explores how the Great Powers have employed different forms of disarmament law as tools of governance for constructing and reinforcing global hierarchies since the end of the nineteenth century. I argue that some of the laws have affected entities’ statehood, some have impacted states’ sovereignty, some have worked to symbolically lower the status of states in the eyes of the international community, and some have been infused with c…
You were bombed and now you have to pay for it
One of the central components of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) is its victim assistance and environmental remediation provisions (known collectively as the Treaty’s ‘positive obligations’). While there is much to celebrate about efforts to remedy the damage caused by nuclear weapons, the way the TPNW distributes responsibility for this work is troubling. Under the Treaty, the primary responsibility for fulfilling the pos…
Psychologists as leaders in equitable science
Psychologists have an ethical responsibility to advance health equity and can play a significant role in improving health care experiences for families racialized as Black, including those with sickle cell disease (SCD), a group of genetic blood disorders primarily affecting communities of color. Parents of children with SCD report experiences of stigma and discrimination due to racism in the health care system. The current commentary describes t…
Racism Exposure and Trauma Accumulation Perpetuate Pain Inequities—advocating for Change (Restorative)
Experiences of racism occur across a continuum from denial of services to more subtle forms of discrimination and exact a significant toll. These multilevel systems of oppression accumulate as chronic stressors that cause psychological injury conceptualized as racism-based traumatic stress (RBTS). RBTS has overlapping symptoms with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with the added burden that threats are constantly present. Chronic pain is a pu…
The influence of perceived racial bias and health-related stigma on quality of life among children with sickle cell disease
Objectives: Individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD) experience significant health problems that may result in unpredictable pain episodes and frequent healthcare utilization. Disparities in clinical care may contribute to health-related stigma and racial bias for this majority African-American/Black population. There is less known about the influence of health-related stigma and racial bias on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of chil…
Religious Autonomy and Labour Law
This article examines the way in which the legal systems in two jurisdictions resolve the tension between the protection of the religious autonomy rights of religious employers and the labour law rights of their employees. In the United States, both the courts and the legislatures have been grappling with the issues raised by religious employment for many years. The European Court of Human Rights, by contrast, has only recently begun to see cases…
