Abstract
The Third World Approaches to International Law Review (TWAILR) is intended to furthering the aims of the TWAIL network and to support the decolonisation of the lived realities of the peoples of the Global South and the radical transformation of the international order which governs their lives.
The Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) network was founded in 1996. ‘Third World’ refers to that expansive and usually subordinated socio-political geography seen as ‘non-aligned belonging neither to the ‘free’ nor to the ‘communist’ world. Since the first TWAIL meeting in 1997, the focus of TWAILers has placed on the cross-examined international law agendas, neutrality and universality associated with imperialism. In this rapidly globalizing world, B.S. Chimni mentioned that “the threat of ‘recolonisation’ has continued to haunt the Third World. Facing this reality, a new set of tools had to be developed to address the material and ethical concerns of third world peoples.”
