What a wonderful moment to experience. I lived under Orbán 1, working at CEU… it was nothing compared to what was to come under Orbán 2. So many friends were impacted. Now, many years too late, it is finally the end of Orbán 2. Tomorrow we can talk about the challenges. Today we celebrate!

Orban called Magyar to congratulate Magyar - and admitted defeat to his supporters. It's over. Peter Magyar and his Tisza Party wins with such an overwhelming victory that he has two-thirds of the seats in the parliament and can undo Orban's autocratic legalism!

My chapter examines the tension between the pursuit of negative peace & the achievement of a post-conflict political order that respects and promotes human rights, particularly indigenous peoples' rights, looking at the Bangsamoro peace processes in the Philippines. academic.oup.com/book/62553/c...

Friends, Native people are, indeed, Native to this land. But they were not Native to the United States. We all need to, somehow, collectively unpack the presumption that the U.S. is (and has ever been) the only instantiation of "this land." There were, and are, many other governments here.

As part of my attendance survey, I ask a random question. Monday's was "What technology do you hope will be obsolete in 20 years?" And it turns out: students, they're just like us.

My essay, out today on Opinio Juris, showing that targeting without taking adequate precautions to assure that the target is a military objective - in the case of the Minab school bombing, due to over-reliance on AI - is a war crime under US law. opiniojuris.org/2026/03/30/t...

Great story about ‘Death is the Ruler’, enigmatic work by Hermione von Preuschen, German artist and advocate for women’s place in world of art

Earlier this week, I had the honor of breaking fast at Rikers Island with New Yorkers in custody. It was a night that will stay with me for quite some time.   In a system too often defined by what it takes, I was reminded of what it means to give—mercy, dignity, and humanity. Eid Mubarak, New York.

A new edition of "On Liberty" names Harriet Taylor Mill and John Stuart Mill as co-authors. [Countless students who've attributed the book to "Mills" nod approvingly]

We live in perilous time. I joined German colleagues in international law and IR and signed this statement: As scholars specializing in International Law and IR, we are concerned about the German government’s response to the attack launched by the US and Israel. verfassungsblog.de/statement-on...

Always one of the highlights of the meeting

This is big. It doesn't just happen. Germany has been a stalwart supporter of Israel, despite clear evidence of its violations of the Genocide Convention in Gaza. The decision not to intervene at the #ICJ is likely bc its best lawyers have told Berlin that doing so can't help a lost case.

Ossoff: "When American service members are returning in flag-draped coffins... this White House treats war like a [videogame]. It's a disgrace... it speaks to the moral rot of this administration." It's a shame this is where we are as a country.

The UK's legal position on the use of its bases in the Middle East is solid with one glaring hole: The US cannot act in collective self-defence with the Gulf States. It is the aggressor. Ergo the UK cannot assist the US in collective self-defence.
