#MargallaDialogue2024|#IPRI #DrMakaneMbengue, "There are multiple shades of selective compliance, and the first of these is, according to me, international law ala carte: the picking and choosing by countries of what they believe is applicable international law. I have observed something that I call differentiation based international law, which is when certain states are given immunity for selectively applying international law. Immunity was never supposed to be granted for this purpose." youtube.com/live/Nb_0FMuF9…

#MargallaDialogue2024|#IPRI #DrMakaneMbengue, "Self judging approach or international law: Powerful countries are unilaterally determining the content of international law- sidelining any other international entity’s interpretation. Power based international legal system, and mind you not rule based. Powerful states in the global north consider that they are their sole judges of the time and the space of the international law." youtube.com/live/Nb_0FMuF9…

#MargallaDialogue2024|#IPRI @AhmerSoofi, "We are sensing an alternative legal framework coming through organisations like SCO, BRICS, being led by countries like Russia and China and other like-minded nations." youtube.com/live/Nb_0FMuF9…

#MargallaDialogue2024|#IPRI @AhmerSoofi, "An example of an area of law which was pushed towards development by the global South despite opposition from western powers such as the US is the law of the sea, which was negotiated despite the US being very against it. The creation of the ICC was also opposed by the West, but developing countries advocated for it, and now the ICC is an intl judicial body." youtube.com/live/Nb_0FMuF9…

Global implications of selective compliance: •structural: loss of faith in the international law distortion of international customary law: risk of contaminating the global south with the kind of selective compliance that is taking place in the global north.

As an example of selective compliance, in matters of human rights, countries may champion human rights on the global stage, yet fail to uphold these principles domestically. @MahamNaweed

#MargallaDialogue2024|#IPRI Chair International Law @MahamNaweed, "As an example of selective compliance, in matters of human rights, countries may champion human rights on the global stage, yet fail to uphold these principles domestically This hypocrisy fosters cynicism and disengagement from international norms, making accountability an issue. The ongoing genocide in Palestine and Israel’s complete disregard of international law and international courts is a testament to the gravity of the issue under discussion today. Similarly, the Russia-Ukraine war and the massive human rights abuses in indian illegally occupied jammu and kashmir have also exposed the discrepancies in international law when it comes to matters of compliance." youtube.com/live/Nb_0FMuF9…
