Abstract
Knowledge production is never neutral, and academia – much like international laws and institutions among other social structures – is a key conduit for the efficient operations of power. Israel’s longstanding occupation and settler colonialism in Palestine challenges mainstream accounts of the international laws of jurisdiction, whereas Chimni’s TWAIL analysis better accounts for and predicts the imperial operations of such laws and points to fruitful evolution towards fairness and justice.10 I elaborate by considering firstly the exercise of jurisdiction during occupation and settler colonialism, and secondly the exercise of universal jurisdiction by states. I conclude with some thoughts on jurisdiction when exercised by international organizations.
