In this seventh episode of the Voices of JHIL podcast, we are talking to Christoph Stumpf about his article “Christian and Islamic Traditions of Public International Law,“ published in JHIL 7(1) (2005), 69–80. Together with Professor Stumpf, we explore Christian and Islamic religion in their functions as foundations to international legal systems, and we trace the process of secularization in law throughout history. Are there similarities between legal and religious interpretation techniques? How is religion still relevant in current international law? Tune in to find out!

In Episode 6, we will be talking to Seth Richardson about Amnon Altman’s article “Tracing the Earliest Recorded Concepts of International Law. The Early Dynastic Period in Southern Mesopotamia”, published in JHIL 6(2) (2004), 153 -172. Join us, as we talk to Seth about the role of law in early Mesopotamia, the Code of Hammurabi and why international relations, and by extension international law, might not be the most appropriate but a rather unconventional way to understand early interstate relations.

In the fifth episode of Voices of JHIL, we are talking to Prabhakar Singh about Ram P. Anand’s article “Family of "Civilized" States and Japan; A Story of Humiliation, Assimilation, Defiance and Confrontation,” published in JHIL 5(1) (2003), 1-75. What did it take to become recognized as a “civilized” state in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries? And which role did international law play in this process for the Japanese empire? Is there something like an “Asian” perspective on the history of international law? These and many other burning questions are discussed in our exciting interview with Professor Singh.
