Trump's tariffs are part of the wider phenomenon of Hardball Migration Diplomacy. This is not new. Trump used threats in his first term. And the EU, Bush, and Obama also used visa sanctions and threats to get states to cooperate on deportations and other migration policies.

A lesson from Syria on refugee protection: “The recent escalation of violence in Aleppo and elsewhere proves that a long, unresolved, simmering conflict can erupt into full hostilities, a caution against premature refugee returns.” My thoughts on repatriating refugees: www.hrw.org/news/2024/12...

I am very proud of our journal's transition to triple-blind review! 🎉 We aim to tackle status bias and support equity in publishing by ensuring that under-represented and minority scholars are evaluated based solely on their work. Removing author names and affiliations is a major step forward.

The ever changing light is what makes Patagonia so very special. In Torres del Paine, a spot lit iceberg is dwarfed by mountains in the shade, except the jagged summit, bathed in the warm afternoon sun. 📷🦋 #photography #nature #landscape #bluesky #sunset #naturephotography #landscapephotography

Finland is cited here as an example of an EU country using "coercive migration diplomacy" and "negative conditionality in cross-sectoral approach". Fair enough as the government just cancelled its development aid programme for Somalia (including support for improving the health of girls and women).

“Human rights should, can, and do apply to all humans” is not and should not be a radical statement. The amount of effort that some people go to try to obscure this basic concept is truly wild.
