About the Author
Umut Özsu is a scholar of international law and global history, with a focus on the intersections of decolonization, human rights, and Third World solidarity. His research illuminates the legal frameworks that shaped the end of colonial empires, exploring how international norms were both tools of liberation and instruments of control. Drawing on archival sources from Africa, Asia, and beyond, Özsu's work challenges conventional narratives of postwar internationalism, revealing the tensions between self-determination and geopolitical strategy. A professor at Carleton University, he bridges legal theory and historical analysis to offer fresh insights into the Global South's role in reshaping global order. His contributions continue to influence debates on sovereignty, race, and justice in an interconnected world.
