IAIS Podcast

In this IAIS podcast, George Galloway examines a disturbing pattern in global politics from the forcible removal of Venezuela’s president to mounting pressure over Greenland, where Denmark has warned that coercion could fracture NATO itself. Hosted by Dr Abdul Latiff, this episode explores the question “After Venezuela, Greenland — Which Country Next?”and probes whether these moments are isolated shocks or signals of a deeper rupture in the rules-based world order. At stake are not only borders and alliances, but the very meaning of sovereignty and the credibility of international law. Through the stark metaphor of the boat, the episode exposes an old imperial habit dressed in modern language: arrival mistaken for entitlement, power confused with legitimacy. #IAISPodcast #ABoatIsNoSubstituteForLand #GeorgeGalloway #GlobalPolitics #RulesBasedOrder #Sovereignty #InternationalLaw #Geopolitics #Empire #Venezuela #Greenland

IAIS Podcast | Today Venezuela, Tomorrow maybe YOU! What does it mean when the rules-based order storms into Caracas at dawn, bombs strategic targets, and whisks a sitting president and his wife to a U.S. courtroom, accusing him, as he insists, of being kidnapped? In this explosive episode of the IAIS Podcast, host Dr. Abdul Latiff sits with Dr. Azzam Tamimi to unravel the tangled threads connecting Gaza, Iran, and now Venezuela , all under the same global logic of power draped in the language of “rules” and “law”. From Gaza’s unending flames to Tehran’s perpetual tension and Caracas’s live international crisis, they argue that today’s “rules-based order” often feels less like neutral arbitration and more like neo-colonial force projection. But buried in crisis is transformation: as Western hegemony frays, there’s a deeper, quieter strength emerging among those once constrained from Palestine to Tehran and now Venezuela. 🎙️ Tune in for raw reality, sharp analysis, and a daring look at a world where the old order shakes… and new possibilities stir. #IAISPodcast #Venezuela #Gaza #Iran #RulesBasedOrder #USImperialism #Geopolitics #GlobalShift

SUDAN IS DYING IN SILENCE IAIS Malaysia presents a focused and timely conversation on the deepening crisis in Sudan.

Hassan Abdel Salam Omer, Ambassador of Sudan to Malaysia, in an informed discussion on the latest developments in the country’s ongoing genocide.

FALLOUT OF THE DOHA ATTACK Mediation, Alliances & Future Pathways What does the Doha attack mean for the region and the world? 🌍 In this episode, we unpack its far-reaching impact—how mediation efforts are shifting, alliances are being tested, and what the future pathways might look like for global peace and diplomacy. 🎧 Host: Dr Abdul Latiff (Head of Research & Publication, IAIS) 🎙️ Guest: Dr Mohammed Al-Hashimi (Director, Qatar Leadership Academy/Centre) #DohaAttack #Geopolitics #Mediation #IAIS #Podcast #PeaceBuilding #GlobalAffairs #MiddleEast #Diplomacy #globalmuslimaffairs #islamicinternationalrelations

Host: Wan Nain, Research Fellow, IAIS Guest Speaker: Michelle Shamini, Travel Ban IDF In this gripping episode, we unpack Malaysia’s bold proposal to bar entry to individuals implicated in genocide against Palestinians — from Israeli soldiers to foreign mercenaries. Known as the Travel Ban IDF initiative, this citizen-driven movement calls for justice without borders, where war criminals lose more than just their reputation — they lose access to the world. We explore the legal, moral, and strategic backbone of the proposal, grounded in Malaysia’s commitment to human rights, the Geneva Conventions, and MADANI values. With global pressure mounting and digital footprints exposing perpetrators, the message is clear: genocide will follow you. Justice is catching flights now — and it’s landing in Malaysia. #travelbanidf #noentryforgenociders #warcriminals #israel #globalmuslimaffairs #iais #islamicinternationalrelations #iaispodcast

PALESTIN DI ERA MADANI: SIMBOL ATAU STRATEGI? Host: Dr. Abdul Latiff Mohd Ibrahim (Ketua Bahagian Kajian, IAIS Malaysia) Speaker: Dr. Maszlee Malik (Pengerusi, IAIS Malaysia) Sejak memegang tampuk kepimpinan negara, Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim tampil sebagai antara pemimpin Muslim dunia yang paling vokal memperjuangkan isu Palestin bukan sekadar dengan kata-kata, tetapi melalui dasar, diplomasi dan solidariti terbuka. Dalam episod ini, Dr. Maszlee Malik menghuraikan bagaimana pendekatan DSAI terhadap Palestin — dalam semangat Malaysia MADANI — mencerminkan satu anjakan dari sokongan bersifat simbolik kepada strategi yang lebih menyeluruh dan berani di peringkat antarabangsa. Dibawakan oleh Dr. Abdul Latiff Mohd Ibrahim, podcast ini mengajak kita menilai semula erti solidariti bukan sekadar sebagai slogan, tetapi sebagai prinsip negara. Isu Palestin hari ini bukan sahaja mencerminkan perjuangan sebuah bangsa yang tertindas, tetapi turut membongkar kemunafikan nilai kemanusiaan yang kononnya dijunjung oleh kuasa Barat. #iais #iran #palestin #dsai #globalmuslimaffairs #gaza #malaysia #madani #maszleemalik #iaispodcast

One of the most pressing issues at the moment with regards to Gaza is the future of Gazans given the scale of death and destruction that has been brought upon the Palestinians of Gaza by the genocidal Zionist Israeli regime. It becomes more acute following the “outburst” by US President Trump in January this year that the Gazans be “cleaned out” so that a Riviera of the Mediterranean may be constructed in its place. Of course, the responses were as expected - one of total rejection by the nations that were supposed to be the recipients of the Gazan population. But, was Trump’s outburst just one of the usual kinds? To discuss this development—alongside broader issues concerning Palestine, including the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas—Dr Abdul Latiff, Head of Research Division at IAIS Malaysia, talked with Dr Muslim Imran, Director of the Asia Middle East Center for Research and Dialogue. Together, they delve into the deeper underpinnings of Trump’s foreign policy and the Zionist Israeli agenda to entrench its permanent colonisation of Palestine. #trump #gaza #globalmuslimaffairs #globalmuslimissues #podcast #iais #israel

This potential is rooted in a longstanding historical engagement, high mutual trust, and robust cultural diplomacy between the two nations. However, Malaysia currently lacks a clear policy for addressing conflicts in Muslim countries such as Sudan, Yemen, and Libya. This policy brief aims to contribute to developing a strategic framework, particularly for Sudan, to help broker peace and rebuild nations.
