FWIW the biological and chemical weapons conventions may in some respects be better analogues.

Today’s Daily is a great example of what I’d love to see journalism do more: tell the story of how hard we worked to reach international cooperation on the most important issues. It can be done. It works. It can also be unraveled so quickly so it’s worth remembering what it took and why we did it.

No spoilers but .. how do you think it goes in a world where humankind increasingly relies for their every need on technology they can no longer understand or fix? (This is fiction, of course. From 1909.)

In 1909 E.M. Forster wrote a short story, a warning about a world in which humans would cease to understand their own technological creations. It’s a quick read; here’s the PDF. (Apropos of nothing … )

Just popping in to add that it would also be pretty unusual for a party in power to say, “we COULD enact this positive policy agenda that will make your lives better right now, but we won’t until you reelect us.”

The universal view of experts, @becingber.bsky.social explains, is that the Trump administration's killings at sea are murder under domestic law, extrajudicial killings under international law, and given their systematic nature, may well be crimes against humanity.

The question for government lawyers - and courts - in national security cases is often "how much to accept the president's version of reality as fact," @becingber.bsky.social explains.

“No pretense of normality, no artificial distinction between policy and military matters, and no lawyer’s justification can relieve our senior military leaders from their oath, the burdens of their conscience, or of the judgment of the men and women they lead, the American people and history.”

“The military has conducted extrajudicial executions of alleged drug dealers at sea and of a country’s head of state, … has kidnapped another head of state. And the president started a war without even consulting Congress, much less obtaining congressional authorization.…”

...that violates international law and that could well turn out to be a massive mafia-style shakedown scheme to benefit the anti-democratic forces in Venezuela and the US, the president's friends and supporters, possibly the president and his family?

As I wrote with @becingber.bsky.social in @justsecurity.org earlier this summer, these US attacks on third-state merchant vessels themselves constitute violations of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter. At least according to the USG's own legal position. www.justsecurity.org/142005/block...

Nolan’s Odyssey on international law: There is a straight line from the perfidy at Troy to the suitors’ contempt for “Zeus’s law”—a fundamental breakdown in shared norms and language that prompts the crumbling of the world order. (Spoiler: the protagonists are themselves the menace they fear.)

The war with Iran is expanding to new fronts. @bcfinucane.bsky.social and I explore a longstanding tension between the traditional law of naval warfare and the UN Charter. -- Historically largely theoretical, but recent attacks on vessels flagged to third states are bringing it to a boiling point.

The war on international law didn’t start with Trump. It’s been long in coming — and largely successful. My latest on what’s at stake, how we got here, and how we might start to rebuild:
