If that was the case, teachers would have been made obsolete by the invention of "books"

And neither should it. It's not like the Dayton accords precluded the existence of the ICTY, or the Bosnian Genocide case. No peace without accountability.

Who did that? Say it, you cowards.

One way to deal with a intense and in some ways pretty terrible year: grab your stuff, put it in a van and go to Norway 🇸🇯

In a world of Max Verstappens, be Lewis Hamilton

"The killer has done a great disservice to the nation in the elimination of Rockwell by making a martyr of a despicable enemy of America." Samuel Samuels, the leader of the Jewish War Veterans of the USA, in 1967 on the assassination of George Lincoln Rockwell, founder of the American Nazi Party.

AJIL's Special Issue on Reparations in International Law is now available online featuring a stunning line up of authors and topics related to reparations. These articles will be freely available for all to read for a limited time. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Every single overview of the US’ targeting of a narco-trafficking vessel on the high-seas in a Venezuelan ship omitting to point out that this is subject to the jurisdiction of the Inter-American Human Rights System (and what it’s case-law has said of this) is so very “Global Academia” :P

Ever wondered how TWAIL and private law theory can benefit each other? I am excited to share my job market paper, “Postcolonial Private Law,” forthcoming in Brooklyn Law Review (Vol. 91) and now available on SSRN. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

In the meanwhile, NL governing parties want absolutely nothing done to pressure Israel. No arms embargo, no pressure on settlement policies, no nothing. They just want to let it all happen.

Ah, the Netherlands. Where the government can fall not once but twice, and things still go on as normal.

That isn’t about “Bringing peace to Ukraine” That is to “Reward War Criminals” and ensure there will be no peace. Do better with your headlines

Slightly diminish a band: Slight unease! At the jukebox corner of the bar

This is *literally* the plot of Altered Carbon

When you watch an active genocide and deliberate starvation and go, "yeah, more of that".

When you're Dutch conservatives, migration brothers you more than genocide.

Mo Salah does not mess around

Who guards the guards who guard the guards who guard the guards who guard the sexual predator in the White House

Do not use it. Just don't. Let them choke on their exploitative revenue model. At a certain point the VC hype will drop off and this stuff all goes into the failed hype bin.

If only the CSDDD was as impactful as corporate crooks think it will be

Yeah guess who just ran around the neighbourhood for an hour looking for their cat, only to find out she was locked in the bike shed.

@thijszonneveld.bsky.social vraag: jullie hadden het over Wiebes' aanzet, dat ze al zoveel verschil maakt met die eerste versnelling. Zijn er mannen die dat wapen ook hebben? Iemand als Merlier? Of zijn de verschillen daar te klein voor op topniveau?

Many Jessup participants breathe a sigh of relief the AO did not come out sooner

“The unprecedented case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) was the brainchild of a group of young law students from low-lying Pacific islands on the frontlines of climate change, who came up with the idea in 2019.”

Hello BHR people we have work to do. Starting with the CSDDD omnibus legislation.

States are obliged to regulate private actors in the context of climate chage

But this is also a serious bombshell. Consistent, but was not quite recognized yet.

And the Montevideo Convention goes

Wait what

Prospective @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social LLM students beware, this *will* be part of your final paper.

On CIL.... Court considers that the diffused and multi-faceted nature of activities that contribute to climate change does not preclude the duty to prevent harm.

This is *very* significant, also beyond climate change.

The UN’s highest court is handing down a historic opinion on climate change Wednesday, a decision that could set a legal benchmark for action around the globe to the climate crisis.

Well, that's it for watching the #TDF. Fun's over. Was good while it lasted. Enjoy the win, blood money fueled doping peddlers.

@thijszonneveld.bsky.social we hebben het vaak over UAE bractiek, maar heb jij enig idee wat Decathlon hier aan het doen is? Gall heeft het lastig, maar Armirail rijdt voor de bollen en Paret-Peintre bungelt er ergens tussen zonder veel doel. En het is ook niet de eerste keer, oa O'Connor eerder.

Sorry for not responding to your e-mail, I was otherwise occupied

@thijszonneveld.bsky.social Pogi vandaag richting Vingegaard:

Yes I would like to order a fascism please. Regular, not light. Make it King size. Delivery address? 1 First Street NE, just follow the trail of shredded civil rights of it is hard to find.

Why do they all look like they're hanging from an invisible coat hanger in their jacket?

And here we were in the Netherlands thinking we finally got rid of this guy.

Wait, did New York just get an excellent chance to elect a non-weirdo (or, weirdo in a good way) as mayor? Who actually has principles and answers questions? Well I've never.

your weekly reminder that dropping a ton of bombs on an oppressed group and killing them is not in fact a form of liberation

Can't believe we're basically watching the speedrun version of the Iraq war. Just skipping the lies and the Hans Blix dance, straight to the illegal attack.

International law is very brief on the point: US attack is illegal, a patent act of aggression. Any support from other States is illegal.

Boot taste yummy

On top of all the things that are wrong about Israel's attack on Iran, the bloodthirsty glee with which Western media report on the deaths of Iranian officials, and the celebration of fear and suffering makes me sick to my stomach. The fuck is wrong with you.

Lol. Nobody bothered by Kim Il Dumb and his toy parade.
