This Research Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) with chapters exploring different facets of TWAIL scholarship. It covers major doctrines and topics of international law, as well as TWAIL perspectives on central historical and theoretical debates.
Expert authors present key insights into various themes that intersect with international law including economics, post-colonialism, religion, development, treaties, and human rights. The Research Handbook underscores the cornerstone concepts of TWAIL and examines their relationship with intellectual traditions such as Marxism and feminism. Contributing authors outline TWAILβs perspectives on core areas of international law such as customary international law, treaties and human rights, as well as important contemporary issues, including debt, climate change, and public health. Ultimately, the Research Handbook showcases an expanded and enriched vision of international law, assessing how alternate methodologies can lead to a fairer legal system.

Quote card which reads: "Corporate concentration in multiple aspects of food systems is part of the problem driving inequitable outcomes, and representatives of many of these corporations were active at the Summit."
Did last month's #UNFSS conference focus too much on investment for food, and not enough on rights and accountability?

The deliberate starvation of Gaza was predicted 18 months ago by the top UN expert on the right to food. This is not unexpected, our political leaders knew this what they were backing
