5 October, 2020

In episode four of the Essex Court Chambers ’10 in 10′ Podcast, Stephen Houseman QC is joined by Alison Macdonald QC and Jackie McArthur to discuss the ongoing Public International Law case of Gambia v Myanmar.

The case is currently ongoing before the International Court of Justice in The Hague, which gave rise to an important provisional measures decision in January this year. Together, Alison and Jackie discuss how more recent developments in the case showcase how international law is adapting to the modern world.
