about the author...

Hello and welcome - I'm Ammarah! I am a law and international relations student with a longstanding passion for social justice, and a deep interest in Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law.

behind the blog.

Motivated by a profound commitment to catalysing global change, I embarked on the establishment of my International Humanitarian Law blog and podcast. The objective is to shed light on nuanced aspects of IHL that demand heightened global attention, presenting the information in a way that is not only relevant but also accessible on an international scale. The aim is to illuminate legalities and situations within IHL that may be overlooked by mainstream media or have yet to see significant action.

In crafting The Legal Contemporary (TLC), my central mission is to cultivate an online community of informed global citizens, driven by a shared passion for effecting collective change on a global scale.
