#EP01: Can International Law Really Constrain State Power?

Can international law truly limit the power of states, or do political realities shape its reach? In this episode, hosted by Kieran Heid and featuring Fahim Abrar Abid, explores the tension between international legal frameworks and state sovereignty. Through discussions on annexation and the challenges of enforcing international law within domestic systems, we unpack how states both shape and restrict legal obligations.

This episode offers a critical look at whether international law can meaningfully constrain state behaviour - or whether states ultimately decide its limits.
