The letter by these UK Law Lords some of whom are lawyers/legal academics is honestly embarrassing.

“De strijd voor de bevrijding van Palestina is de strijd tegen een wereld waarin het geweld dat we in Gaza zien de norm wordt.” @dimitrivdm.bsky.social #Zomerreeks #MakeEuropeGreatAgain #Mega2025 👉 www.sampol.be/2025/07/euro...

“Het associatieverdrag dat de rectoren willen opschorten, omvat ook academische samenwerking. Eigenlijk pleiten ze dus zelf voor een academische boycot. Toch blijven onze universiteiten halsstarrig vasthouden aan die academische banden – formeel of via netwerken en consortia.” 1/2

Great hybrid-conversation at the Law & Society conference about our book (co-ed by Gavin Sullivan, @dimitrivdm.bsky.social & me) Global Governance by Data: Infrastructures of Algorithmic Rule, f’coming open access with @cambridgeup.bsky.social. 🙏to Gavin & to @mattcanfield.bsky.social for comments.

“we’re not fighting an army, we’re fighting an idea. If I kill the fighters, the idea can still remain. But I want to make the idea unviable. When they look at Shuja’iyya and see there’s nothing there—just sand —that’s the point. I don’t think they’ll be able to return here for at least 100 years.”

On 19 May we're looking forward to hearing from @dimitrivdm.bsky.social. He'll be speaking about the algorithmic border control platform 'Cerberus' and its distinctive governance infrastructure. https://bit.ly/43bLmv4 @acil-uva.bsky.social #InternationalLaw

Ik sprak met @maartenrabaey.bsky.social @demorgen.be die een sterk stuk schreef over de lange lijst oorlogsmisdaden en misdaden tegen de menselijkheid waar Israël zich schuldig aan maakt. Het is een kroniek van de horror. Noodzakelijk om te lezen en te blijven lezen. www.demorgen.be/nieuws/elke-...

Wat @glbouchez.bsky.social aantoont is erg zinvol. Het is een eerlijke en duidelijke bekentenis dat hij geen enkel begrip heeft van het concept genocide en de betekenis van die term in internationaal recht. Dit zijn de figuren die ook Lemkin's erfenis verraden. Erg Pijnlijk. t.co/z8OjlsDPSP

I will be giving the CLSGC annual lecture on the reproductive laws of capitalism in May! Truly honoured

New work with Gavin Sullivan in the German Law Journal! Informed by unique access, we trace the design of Cerberus: an AI-based risk tool deployed by the UK Home Office. Cerberus, we argue, enacts a governmentality of suspicion that evades our regulatory repertoire. cambridge.org/core/journal...

👇👇👇 Statement by international lawyers, ESIL members and ESIL IG convenors on the forthcoming ESIL Annual Conference in Berlin in light of the very troubling decision by FU to curtail academic freedom. The letter remains open for signature.

Academic freedom lies at the heart of our profession and we must protect it at all costs. In consultation with colleagues, we have tried to articulate widespread concerns with respect to the upcoming ESIL conference in Berlin, in light of recent events.

"Hij is mijn beste vriend", zegt de man die zijn arrestatie voor oorlogsmisdaden en misdaden tegen de menselijkheid ontloopt. Trump's plan om Gaza te bezetten volgt een koloniaal traject van etnische zuivering. Het is op zich al een illegale dreiging 🧵 www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/20...
