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.

Lisa Burton Crawford: Complex Legislation, Accessibility and the Rule of Law
Did you know there are currently over 18,000 pieces of legislation in Australia? Do you think you could easily explain what they all say? How did legislation become so voluminous and complex, and what does this mean for the rule of law and the rights of the individual?
In this episode, LLB students Grace Lagan and Jamey Wang chat to Professor Lisa Burton Crawford about these issues and more, as explored in her recent publication, “The Problem of Complex Legislation”, which this episode is based on. The article can be accessed at: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/legal-theory/article/problem-of-complex-legislation/670046444760B57B0FAE844D6E6ECFBD?utm_campaign=shareaholic&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=bookmark.
Prof. Lisa Burton Crawford is a Professor of Public and Constitutional Law at the University of Sydney Law School. Professor Crawford's expertise spans constitutional law, administrative law, statutory interpretation and legal theory, with a research focus on the intersection between these areas of doctrine.
