Dr. Loqman Radpey is a research fellow of Scotland’s Edinburgh Centre for International and Global Law (ECIGL). He completed his Ph.D. in Law at the University of Edinburgh in early 2022. His thesis offers a Middle Eastern perspective on the right to self-determination. It represents the first comprehensive historico-legal account of the treatment of Kurdish aspirations to an independent Kurdistan (i.e., statehood) within the international law literature on self-determination over time. Since 2012, he has studied and written extensively on Kurdistan and statehood, self-determination, and the Kurds. Recently, he has been focusing on Eastern Kurdistan, the war in Ukraine, and Scottish independence.
