And, @djag2.bsky.social - you said we *were* friends and colleagues? I very much hope we still are, even if we live so far apart.

I’ve been a low-key fan of this pod since it started - I particularly enjoy the “what everyone gets wrong about…” sub-series. Deliciously irreverent and appropriately highbrow. But for this one I have to thank the co-hosts for the shout-out. Perhaps I need to write about 2803.

Thanks to the Codification Division for inviting me to teach on the UN Regional Course in International Law for Asia and the Pacific - I had a great time debating international law issues with enthusiastic colleagues from the region. Special thanks to Carla Hoe & to Judith Violago.

A wonderful - if unorthodox (pun intended) - start to the academic year: a seminar on reservations to treaties for the LLM of the University of Athens, on the margins of a long hearing at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. Thanks to all for the enjoyable seminar.
