Gibt es ein unauflösbares Dilemma zwischen Staatsräson & Völkerstrafrecht? Nein, schreibt @antjewiener.bsky.social in ihrem Text: Mithilfe der Methoden der IB-Normenforschung lasse sich zeigen, dass die Normenkollision ein hausgemachtes & auflösbares Problem deutscher Politik sei. #blogsymposium25

Sehr guter Kommentar von Christian Meier zu der Kampagne gegen Sophie von der Tann. Besonders erfreulich sind die Richtigstellungen zu dem unterirdischen FAZ-Gastbeitrag von Esther Schapira. www.faz.net/aktuell/feui...

Wer konstant und kritisch über den Nahostkonflikt berichtet und NICHT irgendwann auf die Ablehnung von IDF-Vertretern und -Fans trifft, macht etwas falsch. Sophie von der Tann macht sehr viel richtig.

What happens at #COP30 in #Belém? So far, #COP30 has been far more interesting than many expected (including myself) — and also more encouraging, given the otherwise very bleak global outlook on climate and almost everything else. Here are my takeaways from the first week: 🧵

www.theguardian.com/environment/... „Unlike the past three Cops, which were held in countries with varying degrees of authoritarian government, the Brazilian hosts are actively encouraging civil society and street demonstration to play a role in this conference.“ #COP30 #ClimateChange #Justice
