Atty. Ross Tugade, Senior Lecturer at the UP College of Law and Managing Editor of two UP Institute of International Legal Studies journals, has published three scholarly articles on international law and human rights in different international outlets.

Her full-length research article, “Temporal Ruptures in International Human Rights: Authoritarian Populism and a View of Critical Re-engagement from the Philippines,” was published in the European Journal of Legal Studies, a peer-reviewed, Scopus-indexed journal hosted by the European University Institute Law Program. The article is open-access and may be downloaded from EUI’s article repository. 

Her essay “Eroding Impunity: How the Groundwork of the Philippine Human Rights Community Met Shifting Political Tides” was published in Opinio Juris, an international law academic blog operating in association with the International Commission of Jurists. The piece was part of the Symposium on Prosecuting Heads of State for International Crimes series, which also featured UP Law alumna Professor Diane Desierto of the Notre Dame Law School and other international law scholars.

A third scholarly piece, a book chapter on The Philippines, was published as part of the edited volume Multinationals and Human Rights in Asia edited by Jason Ho Ching Cheung and Kazuaki Nishioka. The chapter was included as a case study on the use of civil human rights litigation against corporations in Asia. The edited book was published last April 16, 2026 by Bloomsbury Publishing under its Hart Publishing imprint.
