We live in a world of States. With the exception of the high seas, outer space, and Antarctica, the entirety of our currently inhabitable environment falls within the jurisdiction of one State or another. States are some of the most powerful entities on our planet in terms of their social, environmental, and economic influence. For […]
Read MoreWith all the recent interest in the International Criminal Court – can it prosecute Putin? Will it intervene in the Hamas-Israeli War?

She also says, ‘it’s not hate speech to say males can’t be women’. But this […]
Read MoreThe passage of the Chinese Civil Code in 2021 was a monumental event both for China and the international community. Yet, it is a daunting task to present a scientific account of the Code to a readership in both worlds. It is difficult for private law experts in the West to truly understand Chinese law […]
Read MoreIn 2001, Chinese legislators introduced public welfare trusts to encourage the public to participate in charitable endeavours, drawing on the experiences of Japan and South Korea. However, despite being in existence for twenty years, the success rate of public welfare trusts in China has been low, with only twenty trusts being established. To address this […]
