Colonialism's Lasting Mark on International Environmental Law

Olivia continues to explore the topic of “the legal imagination” with Professor Carmen Gonzalez, world-renowned expert in international environmental law, human rights and the environment, environmental justice, and food security.

Professor Gonzalez explains how “international law is the history of colonialism” and demonstrates how a new legal framework can challenge the doctrines of international law and their consequences on the environment.
