Interrogating international law and scholarship for the missing narratives on religious misogyny in South Asia
No full textInternational Human Rights Law, with its linear approach, addressed discrimination through the prohibition of its practice based on certain identified and mutually exclusive criteria. Such an approach resulted in masking the intersectional discrimination occurring from subjecting rights under one identified criteria to another, either within the same instrument or in related instruments. It also allows member-States to adopt reservations or use limitation clauses in a manner that often leaves the rights of little value to a section of the population. Given the preoccupation with looking at an emancipatory role for international law and democratising spaces, international law scholarship has made a minimal address to this intersectional aspect of discrimination in the context of gender. This research explores the absence of specific guidance from international law and its scholarship streams of TWAIL and FtAIL to understand the ways in which the intersectional discrimination flowing from religion works in the space of women’s rights and the possible methodology to address it
Politics of the temporary: migrant life in urban Malaysia
Get PDFIn this project, I look at an aspect of contemporary migration that has been largely sidelined and marginalized in mainstream debates, policy circles and research work – what happens to ‘host societies’ in the developing South that experience a rapid increase in numbers and diversity of urban populations owing to temporary migration. What are the implications of ‘temporariness’ on people’s everyday lives, practices, experiences, social environments and the urban spaces they inhabit? How does the presence and work of diverse groups of ‘temporary migrants’ alter and re-shape social, cultural and political dynamics of societies that have already been experiencing massive transformations and developments? What new forms, new practices, new networks, new hierarchies, new inequalities, and new strategies emerge in these contexts that might provide important knowledge from a transnational sociological perspective and critical studies standpoint? In order to address these broad questions, I looked at the experience of temporary labor migration in Malaysia, following a period of field research in the country. My concern that the agency of migrants is increasingly being looked at almost exclusively through an economistic, top-down lens dominated by development has prompted me to seek out the alternative experiences, conditions and practices that the Migration Development Nexus obscures and renders invisible. I sought to do this by looking at how 'temporariness' appears from below - from the perspectives of migrants, non-citizens and other inhabitants of an actual urban center in a fast-developing country of the Global South.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2017-12-01The student, Parthiban Muniandy, accepted the attached license on 2015-10-06 at 09:12.The student, Parthiban Muniandy, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2015-10-06 at 09:18.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2015-10-07 at 16:08.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #8708 on 2016-03-08 at 11:05:08Made available in DSpace on 2016-03-08T17:21:44Z (GMT).

Dissenting state immunity - ICJ'S tryst with the 'sovereign immunity' myth
No full textThe concept of state immunity has been through a severe process of development in the recent past. State immunity initially accorded to the states in recognition of their sovereign character, and the concept later underwent a series of fine-tuning to reach where it is today. In line with the modern-day relevance of the subject matter, the world court asked to decide upon the case concerning the jurisdictional immunities of a state (Germany V. Italy; Greece Intervening) in the year 2012. The court was put to some severe test in matters relating to norms conflict, the hierarchical character of obligations in International law, the evolving nature of the jus gentium about the rights of the State V. Individual. The court significantly falls short of its mandate in this case wherein the dissenting judges took up the responsibility in explaining the lex ferenda regarding the concept of state immunity and its practical limitations
