Read & sign the Statement on the 2025 ESIL Annual Conference at FU Berlin. It addresses the recent disinvitation of Francesca Albanese at FU Berlin, self-censorship, and academic freedom. Despite the ESIL President’s attempt to diffuse its impact, it is crucial to show support by signing.

I am a signatory of this letter, but I am also a keen observer of my field since the genocide started in 2023. The gap opening between parts of my field is massive and does not follow prior methodological divides. International law is a discipline in crisis. voelkerrechtsblog.org/statement-by...

The statement is still open for signatures and the list of supporters is regularly updated.

"By failing to fulfil their essential function as spaces of rigorous inquiry and fearless debate, German universities risk becoming enablers of State narratives rather than independent academic institutions." Brilliant piece by Khaled El Mahmoud! voelkerrechtsblog.org/special-edit...
