** This is a free preview of a paid episode. To listen to the full interview sign up at patreon.com/crashcoursepod **Events since October 7th have shown the strengths and weaknesses of international law. On the one hand, differing attitudes to Russia and Israel have shown the West's commitment to international law to be paper thin. On the other, cases brought to the International Court of Justice have given Palestinians a real voice in international affairs. To get a crash course on international law, how its made, who enforces it, and who can ignore it, I spoke to Alonso Gurmendi. Alonso is lecturer in international relations at Kings College London, and an expert on international law.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
