Allegation-picking is an endemic practice of the European Court of Human Rights--I have found over 1,600 instances so far. In this post, I explain what allegation-picking is and why it demands more attention from the Court and Court-watchers alike. strasbourgobservers.com/2025/02/25/a...

This is extremely damning and, while mainly directed against the previous govt re arms sales to Saudi Arabia and Israel, the partial ban introduced by current govt in September exempts parts for the F-35 jet programme, with bizarre claim it can’t conclude bombing of Gaza breached international law

Engaging with the FCO since 2023 has been near impossible. By mid 2024, when I stopped, there was still handwringing about what the ICJ January order meant, when we were long past this. The obfuscation is unforgivable. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

My PhD thesis, Human Rights as Sources of Penality, is now available online! It explores how human rights foster and justify penality.

DAMASCUS: 1000s of prisoners have been freed from Sednaya prison, now flooding the streets, an monumental moment. For many, the frantic search begins, desperate to know if their loved ones are among the living or the lost. Either way, the "human slaughterhouse" is no more.
