Helyehs statement 1/4
March 12, 2025 Suspended for Pro-Palestine Speech: My Statement on Yale Law School's Embrace of Al-Generated Smears My name is Helyeh Doutaghi. I am a scholar of international law and geopolitical economy. My research engages with Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL), postcolonial critiques of law, and the global political economy of sanctions. I have specifically examined the mechanisms and consequences of economic warfare on Iran, as well as the forms of knowledge produced in International Humanitarian Law (IHL) to obscure and shield U.S. military operations from accountability. On October 1, 2023, I was appointed Deputy Director of the Law and Political Economy (LPE) Project and joined the team. I also held the position of Associate Research Scholar at Yale Law School (YLS), a non-tenured faculty role without teaching responsibilities. On the morning of March 3rd, I was notified of an online report about me. An obscure Al-powered right-wing Zionist platform called "Jewish Onliner" published a report falsely accusing me of being a "terrorist". Rather than defend me, the Yale Law School moved within less than 24 hours of learning about the report to place me on leave.
