Biography
Mohammad Shahabuddin is a Professor of International Law and Human Rights at the University of Birmingham, UK.
“Mohammad Shahabuddin […] is a Professor of International Law and Human Rights at the University of Birmingham and, remarkably, all twenty-nine contributors of the book are originally from Bangladesh – being both established legal academics and early researchers in their particular field of law; thus, the book is unique in that it presents a clear picture of a Global-South State approach to international law.”
-- Hassan Al IMRAN. Asian Journal of International Law, Volume 12, Issue 1. January 2022, pp. 181 - 182.
“[…] the significance of publication of this book, which in my opinion the most important one is – I see it as 'branding of Bangladesh' in international law discourse at global intellectual system. The book has added a new voice (the Bangladeshi voice) to the TWAIL and Global South discourse, an area of international law which in this part of the region for a long time is dominated by scholars from our next-door neighbor. By doing so it also pushes that idea of 'soft power' in international law discourse of the Bangladeshi legal scholarship at global intellectual system. An enthusiast might even call it a 'defining moment' for Bangladeshi legal academia. I hope and believe this book might be the 'first ever of such kind' but it will certainly not be the last one. […] Professor Shahabuddin is one of those rare Bangladeshi émigré scholars who went the extra mile to make sure that 'he' matters for Bangladesh. […] To know more about those stories of 'suffering, solidarity, resilience, resistance, and success' and about the storytellers —— my dear readers, please read the book.”
