my review of lutz oette's brilliant monograph (scribbled down during a baby's naps last spring) is out: doi.org/10.1017/S002...

My PhD thesis, Human Rights as Sources of Penality, is now available online! It explores how human rights foster and justify penality. I'm revising it for a book with OUP, but the thesis offers a preview. Feedback welcome! etheses.lse.ac.uk/4474/ @uoy-yorklawschool.bsky.social @cahr-york.bsky.social

On 8th April, I'll be speaking at VERNAC TALKS by DIGNITY Vernacular Accountability Project. My talk, Restoring Harmony, explores how Nasa Indigenous justice in Colombia offers a restorative and collective model for human rights accountability. DM me for the Zoom link. @cahr-york.bsky.social

What a joy to read this generous and thought-provoking review of my book by the fantastic @erguncakal.bsky.social in @ejiltalk! I’m deeply thankful for his close reading and meaningful reflections. Read here (open access): academic.oup.com/ejil/advance...
