In an earlier video: Lesson 18: Responsibility to Protect, we explore the concept of #R2P. Here are a few takeaways:
1. R2P is more than just a legal construct; it embodies a resolute political commitment to protect human rights and humanitarian values.
2. There have been efforts by states, regional bodies, treaty bodies, organs of the United Nations, and the @UN to work towards this commitment. Examples include;
- 2020 SG's Report A/74/964-S2020/501, highlighting women's role in R2P implementation through conflict resolution, peace processes, justice, and accountability.
- @_AfricanUnion African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights' Resolution 117 (XXXXII) 07) on strengthening R2P in Africa through the establishment of UNAMID and peacekeeping forces in Somalia.

“It is never easy to capture who I am in a few words. I wear many hats, and to different people, I represent different things.”
....this feature interview forced me to stop, reflect, and articulate the past few years of my doctoral journey at @uocommonlaw and how I came to be here.
Gratitude to all who continue to pour into me and make this journey meaningful and enjoyable.

It was a packed 48 hours @MaxAnthropology in Halle (Saale), #Germany – the historic salt city – at the generous invitation of Prof. Anuscheh Farahat, Katharina Eber and @AngelicaCocoma, with conversations that added new flavour to so many questions on transnational labour mobility.

What started as a late-breaking panel at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the American Society of International Law has now been published.
My essay, “Musings on ‘Internationality’: Cultural Particularities in Democratic Discourse in Africa,” has just been published in the American Journal of International Law AJIL Unbound as part of the Symposium on Africa’s International Law of Democracy.
In the piece, I:
🔸foreground Pan-Africanism as a normative project that both challenges and enriches global understandings of democratic governance;
🔸 develop a distinction between a law of democracy—emerging organically from local practices, historical struggles, and normative pluralism—and a law on democracy—often projected from dominant political centers through treaties, conditions, and monitoring mechanisms; and
🔸explore how these two registers can sometimes reinforce each other, but also generate frictions when “universalized” standards collide with locally grounded forms of legitimacy.

….here I do a cultural realist reading of @kemiadetiba 's To Kill a Monkey, situating international legal claims within the story’s social cues and incentives....
Toronto owes me nothing. 🖤
I left Toronto with a full heart... ideas sharpened, spirit steadied, while surrounded by friends and kin.
Engaging at the TWAIL conference was uplifting…thanks to Profs. @obioraokaforc and @Essenbi for the invitation.
