Call for contributions
We invite contributions examining the evolving role of international institutions and entities-broadly understood to include intergovernmental organizations, non-State actors and multinational corporations-in exercising power, shaping governance, and influencing international legal frameworks.
UN Security Council sanctions, imposing targeted measures on individuals and entities but raising serious concerns over due process and human rights protection, as well as UN-administered peacekeeping missions and territorial administration (such as in Kosovo and East Timor), highlight the complex legal accountability of international organizations. Moreover, multilateral development bank-financed projects significantly affect the human rights of local populations and indigenous communities, while INTERPOL's information processing has raised legal concerns regarding due process and the potential for politically motivated abuses. These entities wield vast power, often with limited mechanisms for checks and balances. At the same time, the rising number of cases against international organizations before domestic and regional courts calls into question their jurisdictional immunity. Public-private partnerships involving private actors and international institutions further blur accountability, as non-state actors assume quasi-governmental roles in global governance. Additionally, multinational corporations play an increasingly significant role in global governance, particularly in areas such as climate change, environmental governance, data privacy, space exploration, public health, and vaccine distribution.
We seek to foster discussions on the interaction between international institutions and legal frameworks, including international humanitarian law, human rights law, international criminal law, transitional justice, and refugee law. As international institutions expand their authority, their decisions increasingly intersect with these legal frameworks, raising pressing questions about compliance, legitimacy, and enforcement. The role of international organizations in post-conflict transitional justice, the obligations of international organizations and multinational corporations under human rights law, and the application of international humanitarian law in peacekeeping operations highlight the legal complexities at play. Similarly, the evolving role and responsibilities of international institutions in refugee protection and migration governance, underscore the need for further examination.
