After a million visits to the city we decided to go visit St Paul's. It's amazing. Go if you have a chance. Christopher Wren had it figured out. Fyi the towers have pineapples on top. #London #architecture #history #fruit

Dear US, happy 4th of July. I'm sorry you're going through a self-inflicted plague and I hope you sort yourself out soon. Recommend reading for today. #4thofJuly #IndependenceDay nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stor...

You know what I think that fireplace is missing? Some more gold. He's such a caricature, it's sometimes hard to believe this clown is a real person.

De woningnood is nog steeds niet opgelost, het klimaatprobleem is groter dan ooit. Er zijn 100.000 wachtplekken bij de GGZ. De vermogenskloof is gigantisch. Veel kinderen kunnen niet, of alleen met honger, naar school. Maar gelukkig gaan we dankzij de VVD extra streng kijken naar onnodig toeteren!

Why archives and archivists are important, even at this time of AI swagger.

‘Buddo’ - a rare representation of a human figure from the British Neolithic, dating to around 2900-2400 BC. Discovered at Skara Brae in the mid-C19th, it was re-discovered amongst the archaeological collections at Stromness Museum in 2016. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday #Orkney #Prehistory

I'm pro Neil and all he stands for.

Donald Trump is a very stupid fucking person who genuinely has no idea how anything works and the U.S. press should never be allowed to live down their failure in communicating this mercilessly and clearly to the U.S. public

Ok. Then kill it. Bye.

It is #KetiKoti today! www.immaterieelerfgoed.nl/en/keti-koti #Nederland #Netherlands #Slavery #Emancipation #Freedom

RTL has a big story out about the recent report by B'Tselem on the killing of #children in the #WestBank. I'm quoted in it. If you're interested, take a look. #Impunity #Accountability #Justice www.rtl.nl/nieuws/buite...

Listening to a webinar by the @ibanews.bsky.social on "Can international law reclaim its authority after failing to prevent or even limit recent international atrocities?" Really interesting. Find the recording if yo can and if you're into this. #InternationalLaw

The book launch is today at Leiden uni, and I'll be going.

For those of you in #TheHague and interested in #ICL, do join us on Thursday for the Book Launch: Speech Crimes in the Digital Era - The Peace and Justice Initiative Guidelines. This is a project I have been involved in for years, and am glad to see the book coming out now. #SpeechCrimes #ICC

For those in #DenHaag or close, come see this, it's powerful. #Sicily #Photography www.fotomuseumdenhaag.nl/en/exhibitio...

It's been a labour of love, hope and despair writing this piece but at least I got the chance to do so with great colleagues, comrades and friends: law.unimelb.edu.au/__data/asset... A detailed commentary on the ICJ's AO on Palestine: its value and failures and everything in-between.

We saw this yesterday in #Amsterdam. It was Wagner Moura's 50th birthday and it was a delight seeing a bunch of people singing happy birthday to him in Portugese. The play is clever and talks about some of the big political debates of our time. Check it out. #Theater www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNqV...

Precies dit dus! 👇

The rise of AI-generated animal videos and images is such a travesty. Animal content has always been one of the best things about the internet and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell what’s real

You already see it in how people have clocked out. Universities used to be run on an inordinate amount of goodwill. Yes, the unhealthy kind that meant people bent over backwards in things they should be properly remunerated for, but also more broadly in collegiality and turning up. Eroded now.

Met zijn eerbetoon aan de eerste premier van onafhankelijk Congo is Michel Nkuka Mboladinga op het WK een fenomeen. „Hopelijk zoeken Amerikanen die dit schattig vinden, ook de echte Lumumba op en lezen ze wat er met hem is gebeurd.”

Goed stuk van de NOS over het toekomstige zomerklimaat. Belangrijkste: het wordt nog warmer. Oorzaak: fossiele brandstoffen. app.nos.nl/shorthand/de...

We're going to Amsterdam for this play tonight, and I am delighted to see Wagner Moura on stage. #Theater #Amsterdam ita.nl/nl/voorstell...

The #ICJ, famously for years one of the less exciting courts in #TheHague, has gotten incredibly busy and dealing with some of the most important issues of our time. Now, the #DRC takes #Rwanda to court relating to actions since 1996. #InternationalLaw www.icj-cij.org/sites/defaul...

Javier, you should know better.

Paris urban biking investment helps cut pollution in half: “Between 2005 and 2024, levels of nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter — 2 of the most harmful pollutants to human health — have been slashed by 50% and 55%, respectively.” Via @momentummag.bsky.social momentummag.com/paris-proves...

Looks like a bit if a no-brainer now for everyone sweltering in extreme heat

..is this...for real?

Marie Wilmet and Damien Scalia argue that universal jurisdiction trials often fall short of their stated aims of advancing international justice and delivering justice for victims, often reproducing post-colonial power dynamics, diverging from their ideals. voelkerrechtsblog.org/the-complex-...

New Symposium "International Criminal Law in Turmoil: Charting New Paths as They Unfold" features five papers from a September 2025 workshop on challenges in international criminal justice organised by the ESIL Interest Group on International Criminal Justice. voelkerrechtsblog.org/introducing-...

The fascinating discussion we had at the @debalie.bsky.social yesterday is now online, if you are interested. We talked about #Atrocity crimes, #MassViolence, #Genocide, #Accountability, #Justice and #Memory. Take a look if you're into these debates. debalie.nl/programma/ho...

We were sad to hear about Slavenka Drakulić's passing. In tribute to her work, we made our bonus episodes of the #Patreon War Criminals Book Club freely accessible for everyone. In it, we reviewed her book 'They Would Never Hurt a Fly' with @vukusiciva.bsky.social www.patreon.com/Asymmetrical...

Werner Herzog didn't drag a 30-ton steamship up a hill so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable"

This is one of the dumbest and saddest things I've ever seen. We should not think of universities in this way, and if we do that'll destroy everything that is both useful and good about them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I went to a really interesting talk by @casmudde.bsky.social yesterday at @unileiden.bsky.social in The Hague. He was very generous with his time. Interesting to think about how the right (in its different forms) is evolving in different countries. If you have a chance, go listen to him speak.

Racisme, pleiten voor een autoritaire staat en vijanddenken. Het is tijd FVD een extreemrechtse partij te noemen, zeggen deze wetenschappers. Met @wilmerheck.bsky.social www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

My friend @svdberg.bsky.social has a big one out today. "The evidence establishes beyond a reasonable doubt that the prosecutor (...) engaged in a sexual relationship with (the victim)," a copy of the June 8 decision reviewed by Reuters said. #ICC #ASP #Accountability www.reuters.com/world/icc-bu...

Come spend some time with us tomorrow, we'll hide from the heatwave and hopefully have a meaningful conversation about remembering, forgetting, justice and accountability. See you at the Balie in Amsterdam tomorrow evening! #Memory #Accountability #Justice debalie.nl/programma/ho...

Universités : un rapport préconise de quintupler les frais d’inscription, à 900 euros pour une licence et 1 300 euros pour un master

Okay. Ai can go bankrupt then. This is not our problem, this sounds like a rich tech billionaire problem.
