Book talk by Wolfgang Kaleck

From Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to the international community’s failure to enforce the ICC arrest warrant against Benjamin Netanyahu over alleged war crimes, the foundations of the international order are being called into question. At a time when the human rights project is criticized as toothless or even for providing a pretext for military invasions, Kaleck argues that current global crises, from inequality to ecological collapse and the “age of pandemics,” can be countered by defending international law and reinventing human rights work through feminist, decolonial, and ecological interventions.
