We are living through an environmental crisis and increasing pressure on human rights. Poverty and exploitation drive environmental harm, while climate change threatens all — hitting the most vulnerable hardest. Yet international law offers tools and inspiration.
In this opening episode, Leonel Lisboa — human rights lawyer and educator — introduces Modern Echoes of International Justice, a 10-episode series on how the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has shaped sustainability, business, and human rights. Episode 1 sets the stage: why the ICJ matters, and how its cases equip all of us — lawyers or not — with tools to defend human dignity and the planet we share.
