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. Their new book, Green Transitional Justice, is available here: https://www.routledge.com/Green-Transitional-Justice/Killean-Dempster/p/book/9781032206202.

Liz Snell: Casework and Law Reform through Community Legal Centres
How can community legal centres best support those in need? How can their activist role lead to progressive law reform, improving the criminal legal system so that it works more effectively? How can we elevate the voices of victim survivors? In this episode, Sydney Law School’s Social Justice Advisory Board co-chairs, Rachel Killean and Ben Mostyn, speak with our current practitioner-in-residence, Liz Snell, about legal assistance as a fundamental human right, about community legal centres’ role in the adoption of NSW’s new coercive control legislation, and about practicing social justice in everyday circumstances.
Liz Snell is interested in researching and better understanding the mechanisms required to ensure and support successful implementation of recommendations in inquiries with a focus on inquiries responding to gender-based violence. Liz has worked as the Law Reform and Policy Co-ordinator at Women's Legal Service for over a decade. Women's Legal Service is a specialist community legal centre run by and for women that aims to achieve access to justice and a just legal system for women in NSW.
