Very happy to announce another article is out this week 🎉! This paper took some time to get from my PhD to here, but I'm so happy it has now found a home in SSLA: doi.org/10.1017/S027.... Special thanks to my supervisors and co-authors @samhellmuth.bsky.social and Leah Roberts.

Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers. Share this and speak up for your freedoms.
