In the tenth episode of the Voices of JHIL Podcast, we are joined by Kate Parlett, who is a barrister at Twenty Essex in London and specializes in public international law and international arbitration. Together we discuss her 2008 article, “The PCIJ’s Opinion in Jurisdiction of the Courts of Danzig. Individual Rights under Treaties,” published in JHIL 10(1) 2008, 119–145. Analyzing the advisory opinion given by the PCIJ in the Jurisdiction of the Courts of Danzig in 1928, Parlett explores some of the conflicting interpretations it has brought to the fore. Join in as we debate the ways in which the international legal system engages with the rights and obligations of individuals and how it adapts in response to specific issues.

In Episode 9 of the Voices of JHIL podcast, we once again turn to history to discuss timely and pressing questions. This time, Scott Andrew Keefer joins us to discuss his article “Building the Palace of Peace: The Hague Conference of 1907 and Arms Control before the World War,” published in JHIL 9(1) (2007), 35–81, which explores the international legal dynamics of the naval arms race of the early 20th century. From a comparative historical analysis of the multilateral failure of the 1907 Hague Conference and the bilateral success of the 1902 Argentine-Chilean Naval Armament Treaty, we move on to broader questions regarding international law’s capacity to respond to global security issues.

In Episode 8 of the Voices of JHIL podcast, we are talking to political scientist Peter Niesen about Bruno Arcidiacono’s 2006 article, “‘Non par la guerre, à la manière des sauvages’: Kant et l'avènement de l'état de droit entre les nations,” published in JHIL 8(1) (2006), 39–89. Together with Professor Niesen, we explore Immanuel Kant’s conceptualisation of international law. How have scholars of international law interpreted his ideas? And which methodological pitfalls do we encounter when we attempt to interpret historical philosophical texts in search of guidance for contemporary issues? Tune in to find out!
