Day 1 of the Helsinki Animal Law Conference 2026: "Reimagining Interspecies Justice" with talks by @annepetersmpil.bsky.social @eze-pz.bsky.social and Katja Tiisala! Interesting reflections and plenty of food for thought to take home. 🐾🌱

The "Guantanamo model" for Greenland: U.S. gets complete jurisdiction, Denmark keeps sovereignty on paper. MPIL's @annepetersmpil.bsky.social explains what Trump's "framework" actually means—and why NATO can't sign it. Watch (DE): youtu.be/SfOVMeb9VHE?...

“Purchase” or “lease” of Greenland does not fit into (post-)modern international law, as @annepetersmpil.bsky.social stresses – what matters is Greenland’s right to self-determination, not Trump’s dealmaking. 🔗 www.tagesspiegel.de/internationa... (paywall) #Greenland #USPolitics #Arctic
