One of the greatest Latin American writers of all time has passed away. Vargas Llosa, a Peruvian native, leaves a vast amount of work, ranging between novels, plays, and essays. He won the Nobel Prize of Literature in 2010. Descanse en Don Mario y gracias por todo.

La universidad de Columbia, quien por 40 años tuvo a Edward Said como profesor y creó el primer Centro de Estudios Palestinos en USA, ha expulsado a estudiantes que participaron en protestas contra la Guerra en Gaza el año pasado. Medios indican que lo hicieron para no perder fondos del gobierno.

This is my first Blue Sky post. I'm a Peruvian-Canadian academic lawyer working on #humanrights, #BizHumanRights, TWAIL, academic freedom and public interest litigation. Main focus is Latin America and the Inter-American System. I believe in the power of law and the healing power of metal music.
