Joseph Raz was one of the most influential legal and political  philosophers who ever lived, and his passing in May 2022 marked the end  of an epoch. The breadth and depth of his philosophical legacy is  unmatched, and yet, unlike many influential legal philosophers (such as  HLA Hart or Hans Kelsen), Raz left very few writings that deal with  jurisprudential questions of international law. Why is that? And how can  we draw on Raz’s ideas about human rights, the concept of a legal  system, authority, normativity, and so on, to enrich the philosophy of  international law?
