On 15 April 2002, Marwan Barghouti, a high profile Member of the Palestinian Parliament and a close aide of the late Palestinian leader, Yasir Arafat, was arrested and transferred to Israel for ...trial. On 14 August 2002, he was charged with multiple counts of crimes including acts of terrorism, murder and conspiracy to murder. In the Courtroom in Tel-Aviv, Barghouti was being tried for acts of terrorism, but in the court of public opinion, Israel was using the trial to slander and discredit the Palestinian leadership as a bunch of ‘murderous gangs,’ and ‘enemies of all mankind.’ On his part, Barghouti uses the judicial space to go beyond the surface problem of law and legality to the deeper question of occupation – a problem that is at the depth but also all across the normative structure of Israel’s legal order. Through re-signification, the accused becomes the accuser, putting the state of Israel and the occupation on trial. In this article, I consider the ways in which the accused and the accuser repurpose the legal material to produce and disseminate ideas, concepts, and images productive to their respective politics. Attending to the ways in which discourses of occupation, resistance, and terrorism were synchronized with the legal form, the article reflects on how the narratives move from the legal to the political, from the personal to the social, from the local to the global, and from the theological to the political, creating the conditions of possibility for meaning and understanding.

Online communication continues to pose challenges for the law and the administration of justice. One such challenge concerns its propensity to give rise to small defamation claims between ordinary ...people given the often-enormous costs of litigating defamation claims before the ordinary courts. This article promotes a reform agenda directed to meeting this challenge by (1) demonstrating the need for a proportionate means for resolving small defamation claims, having regard to access to justice considerations and other wider concerns; (2) establishing reasonable grounds for seriously considering deploying the traditional small-claims-proportionate response - small claims jurisdictions - for this purpose notwithstanding contraindications including the infamous complexity of defamation law; and (3) advancing a research pathway for the proportionate treatment of small defamation claims to guide decision-making and innovation. This article also advocates for consideration of this important issue in the 'national reform process' launched in 2018 for Australian defamation law.

The Constitutional Court of Lesotho in the case of Peta v Minister of Law, Constitutional Affairs and Human Rights struck down the provisions of the Penal Code relating to criminal defamation on the ...basis that they violate the right to freedom of expression as envisaged in section 14 of the Constitution. The purpose of this article is to analyse the ramifications of the abolition. The article contends that while the boldness of the Constitutional Court is lauded, the commitment of Lesotho to join the global abolitionist movement is doubtful as the vestige of scandalum magnatum remains on the statute books. As such, the country may have to undergo a comprehensive review of the laws hampering the full realisation of freedom of expression, including the Constitution itself. After analysing the key cases on criminal defamation and other ‘insult crimes’, the article recommends that all ‘insult criminal laws’ be repealed. The cases studied show that these crimes invariably have been used selectively to protect the ‘good image’ of people with political status, not ordinary citizens. The article analyses the development of criminal defamation in Lesotho and its ‘partial’ abolition through the Peta case, and discusses how Lesotho's judicial abolition of criminal defamation features in the broader global wave of abolition.
