The photo “confirms what thousands of testimonies from Palestinian detainees have exposed, and what we and other organisations have been reporting for nearly three years now: Israeli detention facilities are torture camps for Palestinians.”

It's been a labour of love, hope and despair writing this piece but at least I got the chance to do so with great colleagues, comrades and friends: law.unimelb.edu.au/__data/asset... A detailed commentary on the ICJ's AO on Palestine: its value and failures and everything in-between.

In recent months there’s been a lot of talk about the ‘dark’ fleet, the ‘shadow’ or the ‘ghost’ fleet. For a while now I have felt that people use these terms without really examining their origins nor the assumptions that come with invoking them, so I wrote about why I think this is a problem:

In his last political act, Habermas tied the survival of the public sphere & the democratic ethos of the Federal Republic of Germany to genocide denial & the state repression of its critics. He died in principled solidarity with the barbarism of 21st century liberalism

I saw this and at first thought "no, there's no way 'we definitely had alternative leadership in mind for Iran but I blew them up alongside the schoolgirls using AI' is what the White House is actually saying, that's too clueless and evil to be real"

Given that Mark Carney just stood up & gave a world-famous speech lamenting how 🇺🇸 is destroying the liberal international order, it is actually incredibly shocking that he doesn't even mention the UN Charter, 🇮🇷's territorial sovereignty, the JCPOA, the UNSC, or any other aspects of that order.

Apparently Israel/US are targeting Iranian lefties' homes, so as to leave no opposition to the princeling.

Many Chinese scholars and practitioners adopt a pragmatic or neutral stand toward the core concepts of Eurocentric IL. For many, Anghie’s call for a novel international legal imagination that challenges the form, structure, and methodology of IL is not desirable. cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/search...

By distinguishing external from internal self-determination, India maintains that Jammu and Kashmir is its integral part and that it inherited the borders drawn by the British. But this is a claim that has not been accepted by the people of Jammu and Kashmir. cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/a-crit...

2025 offers little causes for celebration; the unprecedented challenges unfolding before our eyes urges us to prob more deeply into the strategy and ethics of critique in the present moment. I am so grateful to be doing this together @ntinatzouvala.bsky.social and a stellar group of brilliant minds.
