Book Pre-Launch: Emancipating International Law: Confronting the Violence of Racialised Boundaries (OUP, 2025)

Emancipating International Law: Confronting the Violence of Racialised Boundaries (OUP, 2025), edited by Mohsen al Attar and Claire Smith, critically examines the entanglements of race, racism, and international law. Across twenty-four chapters, authored by scholars from across the world, reveals how racial hierarchies and white supremacy are embedded within the discipline’s doctrines, institutions, and frameworks. In its own way, each contribution challenges the orthodoxy of international legal scholarship and offers insights for dismantling systemic oppression.
