Voices of JHIL
Welcome to the Voices of JHIL! Join us, as we celebrate 25 years of the Journal of the History of International Law (JHIL). In this podcast, we reflect on our multi-faceted research published by JHIL. Exploring the past and the recent development of international law, JHIL has provided valuable insights into the potential but also the challenges of the field. In over 25 episodes, we highlight one selected article for each volume and get to know the scholar behind the work.

“Tracing the Earliest Recorded Concepts of International Law. The Early Dynastic Period in Southern Mesopotamia” by Amnon Altman, in conversation with Seth Richardson
In Episode 6, we will be talking to Seth Richardson about Amnon Altman’s article “Tracing the Earliest Recorded Concepts of International Law. The Early Dynastic Period in Southern Mesopotamia”, published in JHIL 6(2) (2004), 153 -172. Join us, as we talk to Seth about the role of law in early Mesopotamia, the Code of Hammurabi and why international relations, and by extension international law, might not be the most appropriate but a rather unconventional way to understand early interstate relations.
