Due to the secretive nature of pushbacks – whose systematic occurrence the court acknowledges in the case of certain states – the burden of proof must shift to the states in the interest of evidentiary equality.

My essay on the Hague Academy's centenary is available at EJIL. It's about order in and through law - from the invention of a 'Grotian' international order to the 'rules-based international order' and the hypocrisies that come with it academic.oup.com/ejil/advance...

The common theme across all sections is the relationship between invoking ‘order’ in and through law and colonial and imperial projects. Since international law’s inception, it has been used to pursue such colonial and imperial projects while hiding these ambitions behind the veil of the purported rationality and objectivity that the ideas of system and order convey. I explore this theme by examining how the Hague Academy has served as a site where notions of order are constructed, legitimized and disseminated. The section on the Hague Academy’s relationship to the invented tradition of a Grotian international legal order looks at the historical context at the time the Hague Academy was founded and at the broader aim pursued by the ‘peace through law’ movement. The section on the transition between the colonial and post-colonial era highlights the political economy of the Hague Academy as a site of knowledge production by focusing on who funded the Hague Academy under which conditions in the 1950s and 1960s. The section on the so-called fragmentation of international law focuses on the core of this knowledge production, the general courses. Finally, the last section, which focuses on the dissemination of ideas of legal order by high-ranking politicians, highlights the continuities between colonial and imperial invocations of the past and present portrayals of the ‘rules-based international order’.

Great analysis by @alexandraancite.bsky.social. I would add one point: while one might theoretically imagine a finding of ‘no violation’ of Art. 4 Prot. 4 due to an expansive reading of the ND & NT exception, there must be a violation of Art. 3 if the Court takes its absolute character seriously.

Es braucht nur eine Grafik, um die Migrationsdebatte in Deutschland komplett zu widerlegen: Ein hoher Migrationsanteil führt nicht zu mehr, sondern zu weniger rechtsextremer Wahlneigung. Die AfD wird nicht durch Migration stark, sondern durch geschürte Vorurteile über Migration.

Das Bild zeigt zwei Balkendiagramme mit dem Titel “Weniger Ausländer, mehr AfD”. Es vergleicht die Wahlergebnisse in den 50 Wahlkreisen mit dem niedrigsten und höchsten Ausländeranteil.
• Linkes Diagramm (“Niedrigster Ausländeranteil”):
• Die AfD hat hier den höchsten Stimmenanteil, deutlich vor den anderen Parteien.
• Die Union liegt an zweiter Stelle, gefolgt von SPD, Linke, BSW, Grüne, FDP und Sonstige.
• Rechtes Diagramm (“Höchster Ausländeranteil”):
• Hier führt die Union das Wahlergebnis an.
• AfD, SPD und Grüne haben ähnliche Werte, aber niedriger als im linken Diagramm.
• Die Linke, FDP, BSW und Sonstige haben geringere Anteile.

Interpretation:
Das Diagramm deutet darauf hin, dass die AfD besonders stark in Wahlkreisen mit geringem Ausländeranteil ist, während in Wahlkreisen mit hohem Ausländeranteil Parteien wie die SPD, die Grünen und die Union stärker sind.

Die Quelle ist die Bundeswahlleiterin, ergänzt durch eine eigene Berechnung. Das Ergebnis ist als “vorläufig” gekennzeichnet.
