"Shadow Fleets," Sanctions & Western Media's International Law-ification of Arbitrary US Dictates
About this episode
The episode discusses the legitimization of unilateral sanctions against enemy states through media and legal narratives.
In this episode, we explore how arbitrary—often unilateral—sanctions against Enemy States are given the halo of international legal legitimacy with a combination of lies, slippery language and brainless court stenography. With guest Maryam Jamshidi, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Colorado School of Law.
