Sahar Soltani

Sahar Soltani is a Canadian author, independent scholar, and strategic intelligence architect whose work examines power, conscience, moral responsibility, law, and the structures through which societies and institutions justify what they permit. Her writing spans political philosophy, jurisprudence, international law, geopolitical analysis, animal protection, faith, and the study of human judgment.

Her scholarly papers, available through PhilArchive, Zenodo, SSRN, examine subjects including sovereign responsibility, political authority, institutional failure, cultural defences of cruelty, the structure of international law, and the moral status of defenseless sentient beings. Her original conceptual work includes Lex Custodiae and the International Law Fallacy trilogy which holds that decisive power over a defenseless being creates responsibility rather than moral entitlement. She has also submitted observations in proceedings before the International Criminal Court (Case No. ICC-01/21), addressing jurisdictional consistency, complementarity, and the structural application of international law.

Animal protection has become a major part of her work, particularly the treatment of dogs and cats within systems of trafficking, slaughter, commercial exploitation, and institutional neglect. She also writes on Scripture, spiritual truth, history, and questions obscured by inherited assumptions.

Across her books and papers, her method is consistent: examine the evidence beneath accepted narratives, distinguish what is inherited from what can actually be established, and follow the argument wherever it leads. She reveals what has been hidden and obscured.
