Uncovering Global South Narratives in ITLOS Advisory Proceedings on Climate Change

This book explores how Global South states shape narratives on climate change in international courts and tribunals. Specifically, it examines Global South narratives advanced before the ITLOS advisory proceedings on climate change, which provide a platform for states to frame their political positions and influence legal discourse on global issues.
Through the lens of international law and politics, this study investigates how narratives—rooted in historical experiences and contemporary vulnerabilities—serve as tools for articulating and influencing legal outcomes. While recognizing the diversity of voices within the Global South, the book explores whether a shared history of colonialism and varying degrees of climate vulnerability play a significant role in forming cohesive narratives in the ITLOS advisory proceedings on climate change.
