Abstract

Navigating the Backlash against Global Law and Institutions Peter G Danchin,* Jeremy Farrall,** Jolyon Ford ,*** Shruti Rana,+ Imogen Saunders++ and Daan Verhoeven+++ 1 Introduction This article considers the recent “backlash” against global norms and insti- tutions fuelled by various contemporary political developments within and between states. Understanding the shape, significance and drivers of this phenomenon better is a p-re requisite to developing and analysing possible responses by Australia and other states. The current global legal order was established after World WII ar and is underpinned by the Charter of the United Nations (‘UN Charter’),1 international law in general, and the growing collec- tion of multilateral international legal instruments by which states agree to conduct their international relations. The sweep of the global legal order is broad, encompassing norms and institutions that seek to foster international cooperation across a range of spheres, including development, the environ- ment, finance, health, human rights, science, security, and trade. The United States (‘US’) has historically been considered the leader and guarantor of the post -1945 legal order, playing host to its most important institutions .
