Con law prof here. Worked up a decision tree for any government officials struggling with deep questions about obedience to court orders. Hope it helps

Ik dacht dat het niet dommer kon, totdat ik de reactie las

Something about listening when people tell you who they are.

Appalling. Merz has wasted no time post-election in pronouncing his intention to violate international law. www.justiceinfo.net/en/141977-me...

Finished watching Season 7 of Endeavour and given the state of the past few seasons I'm starting to understand how Inspector Morse became an alcoholic

Twee imperialistische grootmachten gaan onderhandelen over hoeveel grond een ander land moet opgeven na een illegale invasie, en dat wordt dan geframed als vredesbesprekingen. Je moet het maar kunnen als "Nieuwe Vredesbeweging".

I want to make the below thread more concrete and, in the process, to accentuate what I take to be the enormous challenge before us. So, here’s a second thread that starts by drawing on my work with Ingrid Brunk on annexations @ajil.bsky.social. 1/ 🧵

Rosanne Hertzberger, altijd een scherp waarnemer, is kennelijk verbaasd dat Mark Rutte de stikstofcrisis (en niet corona) de "grootste crisis" uit zijn premierschap noemde ... in november 2019 ... ruim voordat de coronacrisis uitbrak?

In hindsight he was right www.politico.eu/article/bret...

🇺🇸🇵🇱🇭🇺 I'm afraid that all the expert output about the rule of law crisis in Hungary/Poland being a consequence of these countries being "young, not yet fully developed democracies without a long history of developing trust in institutions" is about to age very badly.

"But I know for certain that they will not say Belgium invaded Germany." - Clemenceau, according to Hannah Arendt (1967)

No thanks, I'll pass

"Why is there an Adrian Vermeule memecoin?" You bolt awake in British America. You are not online. It is 1777 AD. You are the general Sir William Howe, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. The American Revolution must be suppressed.

Geert Wilders? Al die tijd gewoon een neoliberaal die niets opheeft met sociale voorzieningen? Wat een verrassing!

ah, the good old times

An absurd interpretation. The Convention requires facilitation of citizenship for refugees, with no exception for unlawful entrants.

RIP Wolfgang Kersting — und Dank an @victorloxen.bsky.social

Kudos @spignal.bsky.social for ignoring editorial guidance and for pursuing intellectual credibility. I expect more forbidden words in this week's column @economist.com

"While “imperialism” has become a catchphrase often misused as a description for economic-capitalistic methods of colonization and expansion (...), the word “Reich” remains free of this stigma." - Carl Schmitt (1941), having an extraordinarily big lack of foresight about words and their connotations
