  • GLJ Special: Environmental Rights Between Constitutional Law and Local Context: Reflections on a Moving Target

    GLJ Special: Environmental Rights Between Constitutional Law and Local Context: Reflections on a Moving Target
    Sep 1 2023
    In this video, Abduletif Idris explains how the members of the Environmental Rights in Cultural Context research group at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology combine legal studies and anthropology to tackle the concept of environmental rights. Drawing on empirical evidence from case studies in Ethiopia, Mongolia, and Ecuador, the researchers see how constitutionally enshrined environmental rights are moving targets that often fail to live up to their promise.

  • GLJ Special: Lost in Translation? The Promises and Challenges of Integrating Empirical Knowledge on Migrants′ Vulnerabil

    GLJ Special: Lost in Translation? The Promises and Challenges of Integrating Empirical Knowledge on Migrants′ Vulnerabil
    Sep 1 2023
    Luc Leboeuf is the coordinator of the EU-funded VULNER project, which examines the application of the concept of vulnerability in the adjudication of asylum cases. There is still no common legal understanding of “vulnerability”; it takes on different meanings in different contexts, and is becoming a tool of selection and exclusion as it evolves as a legal instrument. In this short, Leboeuf focuses on the methodological framework that he and the VULNER consortium developed to study how asylum seekers actually experience the way “vulnerability” is applied to their specific cases. The methodology combines doctrinal legal analysis based of ECtHR case law with an ethnographic approach to how the concept is being implemented by public servants in their daily practices of dealing with asylum seekers.

  • GLJ Short: Sex Must Be Voluntary: Sexual Communication and the New Definition of Rape in Sweden (GLJ 22:5)

    GLJ Short: Sex Must Be Voluntary: Sexual Communication and the New Definition of Rape in Sweden (GLJ 22:5)
    Aug 24 2021
    “Sex must be voluntary; if it’s not, it’s a crime,” reads the Swedish government’s ad campaign. The new Swedish rape law is all about communicating consent – “listen, ask, and tune in so that you’re sure what others really want,” the ad continues. Feminists have long campaigned against rape laws that require active resistance from the victim, even where lack of consent is clear. But is rape really just about a failure of communication? What about power and patriarchy? And what about the grey zones that show up in empirical studies on sex communication? Linnea Wegerstad looks at how the new law has been applied so far, whether it really brings the clarity it promises, and what needs to happen outside of the law for it to work. Her article “Sex Must Be Voluntary: Sexual Communication and the New Definition of Rape in Sweden“ appeared in the Special Issue “Sexual Violence and Criminal Justice in the 21st Century” in GLJ vol. 22:5 in August 2021. Interview by GLJ editor Nora Markard, editing by Marlene Stiller.
