Abstract/Description:

My work over the past several decades has grappled with the limitations of equality. This struggle has resulted in the development of a legal paradigm that brings vulnerability and dependency, as well as social institutions and relationships, together into an analysis of state responsibility that goes well beyond concern with formal equality and impermissible discrimination.
