Professor and Associate Dean Milena Sterio was invited to contribute a second blog post on the so-called Wallstrom Affair to the Oxford Human Rights Hub, an academic blog based at the University of Oxford Faculty of Law. The post, entitled “Je Suis Margot Wallstrom,” is available here. Professor Sterio had published a first post on the same topic on Intlawgrrls, which is available here.
In both of these posts, Professor Sterio discusses Swedish Foreign Minister’s (Margot Wallstrom) decision to publicly criticize the Saudi Arabian regime for its human and women’s rights violations, and the diplomatic backlash that this has provoked.
