Abstract
From an international law point of view, the covid-19 pandemic could be described as a 'disaster' which has led to various calls especially from the UN system for harmonized international cooperation and global solidarity. This article focuses on the meaning of 'solidarity' in the context of international human rights, and elaborates on the implications of solidarity on the international law of humanitarian assistance in the current situation of the coronavirus outbreak.

I argue that international social work education is constructed using nationalist assumptions that define and limit practices of social care to nation-state boundaries. This is particularly true of the profession as it is practiced in (neo)liberal welfare states of the global north. Using citizenship theory I interrogate interpretations of liberal citizenship to illuminate and analyze its relationship to nationalist definitions of social work practice. I posit an alternative notion of citizenship that defines citizenship more broadly in terms of participation and belonging irrespective of nation-state boundaries and acknowledges the transnational realities of people, social issues and socio-economic hierarchies.

This paper provides an empirical analysis of the role of intergovernmental relations on a country's effort to enforce the objectives of an international environmental agreement on an open access resource. Intergovernmental interaction allows signatory countries to observe compliance behavior of other signees and to punish non-compliance by applying bi- and multilateral sanctions. We use a cross-sectional dataset that contains country level information about compliance with the 1995 UN Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. Our identi cation strategy combines a spatial autoregressive model with spatial autoregressive disturbances and an instrumental variable approach. We find a strong positive effect of other countries' compliance on the individual country's compliance score. These results suggest that repeated interactions among participants might not only play a role in enforcing the obligations of an agreement at the community level but also have an impact at the international level.
