International Protection, Disasters and Climate Change
This paper starts by situating international protection as but one legal response to the situation of people outside their countries due to disasters (section 2). Instead, migration law will often be the primary framework for resolving mobility issues in this context. Nonetheless, for persons who do face a risk of harm, international protection law may potentially apply. The paper sets out guidance, for international protection purposes, on how t…
Vernacularising human dignity in human rights education
In this article we interrogate the potential value of 'human dignity' as a tool for vernacularisation in the context of human rights education (HRE), drawing on legal higher education in Cambodia as a case study. To do so, we first outline the role of human dignity in human rights education, flagging that while the concept has been identified as a principle, goal, and tool of HRE, there has been little reflection on its diverse and contested mean…
Comparative international law
This article demonstrates what comparative international law (CIL) can contribute to the field of international migration law (IML). It is not an exhaustive overview of the value of a CIL approach; rather, through indicating some of the possibilities of CIL, it provokes thought as to how CIL could enhance IML enquiry. Before turning to the migration context, the key tenets of CIL are outlined. Then, I argue, using examples drawn from my ongoing r…
State-empowered entities as sites of progress for international anti-trafficking law and policy
Since the adoption of the Palermo Protocol in 2000, international anti-trafficking law and policy have developed significantly. While both States and non-state actors have had a role to play in such development, this article focuses on the contribution of what (Sivakumaran, 2017 ) labels as “state-empowered entities” (SEEs), actors that are “empowered” by states' and thus cannot be seen as “truly non-state in character.” Indeed, a range of SEEs, …

Living with cryptoglandular anal fistula
The impact of cryptoglandular anal fistula extends beyond the physical symptoms of pain and discharge, requires significant readjustment, and often negatively impacts psycho-social wellbeing. These aspects of disease should receive greater attention in future assessment of treatment and quality of life
Abortion law reform in Latin America
Latin America's transition to democracy in the 1970s and 1980s was accompanied by the increased political participation of women, who demanded not only equal rights, but also insisted that addressing women's specific interests was key to establishing a truly representative democracy. Many in the Latin American women's movement saw the right to safe, legal abortion as fundamental. To date, their demand for this has gone largely unfulfilled, except…
