The world we live in. The US president is rolling out the red carpet for the man responsible for all these and countless more crimes. It’s sickening, so god damn sickening. Why are we humans like this.

Sehr informatives Gespräch zu Gaza und Völkerrecht mit meinem Kollegen und Namens-Halbvetter @pjanig.bsky.social auf Ö1 heute. oe1.orf.at/programm/202...

ICJ climate advisory opinion - unanimously on ALL points.. as clear a message to the states listening as they could make

www.gov.uk/government/n... Joint Statement by 28 states, awkwardly missing Germany

“The order to “move a population” issued by Israel does not meet any of these conditions, making the operation a war crime” Eyal Benvenisti [one of Israel’s most renowned international law experts, member of Israel‘s legal team in the genocide case] and Chaim Gans [prof emeritus Tel Aviv university]

While the Court is known to be notably progressive, and many in Europe will attempt to shrug it off as just that: none of this is out of place - we are in a climate emergency and we are out of time! jurisprudencia.corteidh.or.cr/es/vid/10849...

The Illegal Israeli-American Use of Force Against Iran: A Follow-Up | by Marko Milanovic

Come work with us in Munich!! Our project on peacekeeping and climate change kicks off this fall, and we are looking for two researchers to join us - unibw.de/stellenausschr… - happy to answer any questions! Bonus: We have an international law doggo to calm the nerves...

great thread on #SaulvsRWE - a potential game changer in holding corporations responsible for climate harms!

Sharing this with my students - on a rational basis, we all seem to know that AI cannot (currently) replace human research for student/academic papers, but temptation & anxiety (archive.ph/ZBBmt) seem to get the better of them in 9 out 10 cases

Fossile Energien, Elektrifizierung, Paris-Vertrag und weitere Schlüsselbegriffe haben die Staaten aus den Vorlagen zum neuen Weltklimabericht gestrichen, sagt IPCC-Vizechefin Diana Ürge-Vorsatz. Das Gleichgewicht von Wissenschaft und Politik sei aus der Balance www.klimareporter.de/klimakonfere...

Now it's nearly 270 university presidents who have signed onto this "unprecedented government overreach" public letter. It was less than 180 this morning. www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-c... Universities, and judges, taking the lead in standing up.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

Sudan v UAE - provisional measures stage at the ICJ, with the crucial question being whether the UAE‘s reservation on Art IX of the Genocide Convention poses an insurmountable obstacle for the Court to be able to exercise prima facie jurisdiction.. Woodsworth presenting an intriguing argument on 1/2

Yes, because what's holding the US back from greatness is our lack of "wood independence". 🙄 Logging these >100 year old trees will be disastrous for climate.

www.theguardian.com/environment/... climate goals will fail, but investment opportunities in the AC market 🤡

this one has made me think about a lot (a great read), but especially on who we expect to speak up (not necessarily in letters) criticallegalthinking.com/2025/03/03/t...
