International Network on Transnational Legal and Political Theory

The International Network on Transnational Legal and Political Theory (‘the Network’), was co-founded by Maks Del Mar, Nicole Roughan, Massimo Renzo and Bas van der Vossen in 2013. The aim of the Network is to encourage and facilitate international discussion and collaboration amongst researchers working in transnational legal and political theory.

The Network plans to host meetings every two years, each time in a different continent.

The inaugural meeting of the Network was held Queen Mary University of London on the 7 November 2013. The 2nd  meeting was held at the National University of Singapore on 7 February 2015. The 3rd meeting formed a special workshop at the IVR in Washington, DC, July 2016, and the 4th meeting hosted by the University of Cartagena from 24-27 August 2016. A 5th meeting took place on 1 December 2016 at the University of Edinburgh.

A 6th meeting will take place from 7-8 May 2017 at Bar-Ilan University, Tel Aviv.

The Network’s co-convenors are Maks Del Mar and Nicole Roughan. If you are interested in joining the Network, or in hosting a meeting, please email either m.delmar@qmul.ac.uk or nicole.roughan@nus.edu.sg.

Art and International Justice Initiative 

The Initiative is a hub connecting academics, legal practitioners, students and others wishing to explore the potential of art as a tool to promote or increase understanding of international justice.

The purpose of the Initiative is to engage various forms of art to uncover its potential:

• to promote better understanding of the legal provisions that have universal application;
• to design a more effective reparations system addressing systemic human rights violations;
• to link aspirational purposes of international justice, such as reconciliation, with the actual outcomes;
• to build bridges between law and emotions using the medium of art; and
• to serve as an educational tool in disseminating the values of international law.
