How can the damage inflicted by Israel on Palestine’s natural environment be framed as a violation of international law? When responding to conflict, how can nature be properly valued in the delivery of transitional justice? What, then, could "green transitional justice” mean for Palestine and its natural environment?
In this final episode of Just Cause’s third season, LLB student Eamonn Murphy speaks with Dr Rachel Killean and Dr Lauren Dempster about their new book, Green Transitional Justice, and their ecocentric approach to transitional justice that seeks to properly redress harms to nature. We consider how green transitional justice functions at large, and how it needs to be driven by Indigenous and grassroots voices, before ending with a discussion of how we might practically apply the principles of green transitional justice with respect to Palestine in the context of Israel’s ongoing military assault.
Dr Rachel Killean is a Senior Lecturer and the current Associate Dean for Student Life in Sydney Law School. Dr Lauren Dempster is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Law and Fellow of the Senator George J. Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice.

Arlie Loughnan: Pleading Self-Defence as a Victim Survivor
Self-defence has a complicated role in the prosecution of victim-survivors of domestic violence who use force against their abusers. In this episode, LLB student, Indigo Crosweller, chats with Professor Arlie Loughnan about how defence practitioners might approach a victim-survivor client and the accessibility of the defence of self-defence. The full report, upon which this episode is based, can be found on the website for the Centre for Women’s Justice Research on their ‘Self-Defence briefings’ page here: https://www.centreforwomensjustice.org.uk/selfdefence-briefings.
Dr Arlie Loughnan is Professor of Criminal Law and Criminal Law Theory at the University of Sydney Law School. Her research concerns criminal law, legal theory and legal history. Arlie's particular interests are constructions of criminal responsibility and non-responsibility, the interaction of legal and expert medical knowledges and the historical development of the criminal law.
