Summary/Abstract

In the present lives in the postcolony are beset by relentless disasters, generating great suffering and loss. How should an international lawyer conduct herself in response? Resisting the urge to construct these times as entirely unprecedented, this article attempts a response by drawing out the conduct of two ancestral Third World international lawyers responding to disasters in their own time. It reveals how disasters never simply occur but are actively produced by particular modes of conduct deployed by international lawyers. From their conduct we learn how to attend to the tasks of justice and responsibility in the aftermath of disaster by being responsive to the suffering and by recognising the disastrous effects of our action. We also learn how attending to the tasks of inheritance is vital for this.

Summary/Abstract

The evolution of the European Union (EU) into a federal political super-state has come to a halt following the rejection of a constitution by two of its founding states. The reasons for the popular discontent are complex. As Adil Hasan Khan and Betwa Sharma recall, it is clear that most citizens of member countries want the Union to ensure economic prosperity and stability but are suspicious of the supranational EU hierarchy's political ambitions and are desirous of keeping their respective sovereignties.
