Dr Ralph Wilde has been awarded the Best Paper in International Law Prize of the International Studies Association, the US-based global membership organization for International Relations scholars. 

One prize is awarded annually for ‘outstanding contributions to the field of international law.’ Dr Wilde was awarded it for the paper he gave at the ISA Annual Conference in 2021, a work in progress on the extraterritorial application of human rights and international adjudication, which will be submitted for publication later this year. 

This forms part of Dr Wilde’s ongoing ‘human rights beyond borders’ project that was awarded a Research Frontier Grant by the European Research Council.  It reflects a recognition of his work by his peers in the discipline of International Relations, complementing the prizes he was previously awarded in the discipline of International Law (the Certificate of Merit of the American Society of International Law) and Law generally in the UK (the Leverhulme Trust Philip Leverhulme Prize).  The most recent publication from Dr Wilde’s project is “Diplomatic asylum and extraterritorial non-refoulement: the foundational contribution of the Latin American region to extraterritorial human rights obligations.”
