Summary: The structure and implementation of EU free movement rules result in a diminished quality of rights and protections for individuals with caring responsibilities. As a result, women exercising their free movement rights in another EU member state face increased risks of legal and physical precarity, poverty, destitution, and exploitation. The connection between the gender care gap and EU free movement rules has not been recognized by policy makers and civil society, leading to a lack of strategy for addressing gender equality in this regard.

Summary: This paper examines the capacity to act in counter-hegemonic human rights approaches, focusing on non-liberal subjectivities like the incarcerated person who are often assumed to be lacking in autonomy. It suggests the concept of 'after rights' as a new perspective in critiquing liberal human rights, and proposes the use of anti-carceral praxis to highlight anti-colonial action and surpass the limitations of liberal conceptualizations.

Summary: The worsening conditions caused by the COVID-19 crisis have had a significant impact on rural and agricultural communities in Latin America. Interestingly, this happened at a time when the rights of these communities were recognized in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Peasants (UNDROP). Unlike most universal human rights instruments, UNDROP focuses on a social class rather than gender, age, ethnicity, or other categories. This shift towards class as a social category may provide opportunities for legal mobilization, such as promoting class solidarity and addressing issues related to gender, access to land and seeds, and food sovereignty in rural areas. However, the formation of historic blocs is a contentious issue, as seen in the Lhaka Honhat Association Case.

Summary: The reform process for ISDS at UNCITRAL is reaching its climax, with the emergence of a new international court for resolving investor-state disputes, known as ISDS 2.0, as a key feature. This court, which should include an appellate tribunal, aims to produce consistent case law, addressing a common complaint about the inconsistency in 'ISDS 1.0' case law. However, the article highlights the need for caution in pushing for consistent case law, drawing parallels with the breakdown of the WTO dispute settlement system. The article proposes the adoption of a formal doctrine of precedent as a solution, emphasizing states' control over investment-treaty obligations.
