In this seventh episode of the Voices of JHIL podcast, we are talking to Christoph Stumpf about his article “Christian and Islamic Traditions of Public International Law,“ published in JHIL 7(1) (2005), 69–80. Together with Professor Stumpf, we explore Christian and Islamic religion in their functions as foundations to international legal systems, and we trace the process of secularization in law throughout history. Are there similarities between legal and religious interpretation techniques? How is religion still relevant in current international law? Tune in to find out!
