I believe that we need to keep talking about what German leaders (and media) have been doing over the past 20 months, and we have an obligation to hold them accountable. My piece mostly concerns the attacks against Iran and not the atrocities Israel is committing in Gaza, but ofc it’s all connected.

HENNING LAHMANN (@hlahmann.bsky.social‬) on Germany’s failure to uphold international law – and why it’s not the breach of international law that threatens normative stability, but how the international community responds.

Quote: “The damage that Merz and Steinmeier have inflicted on both Germany’s international credibility and the order put in place with the founding of the United Nations will likewise be felt for decades to come.”

Dass ein Satz mit solch autoritärem Sound von der SPD fällt ist das eine. Dass ein Social-Media-Team sich dann hinsetzt und denkt: »Geil, den posten wir«, da fällt mir nix mehr zu ein.

Tot nu toe de samenvatting van de demonstratie in Amsterdam:
'Wij moeten onze vrouwen en homo's bescherming tegen de islam!'

The Proceedings from last year's @esil-sedi.bsky.social Annual Conference in Vilnius have been published open access: cadmus.eui.eu/entities/pub...

My presentation looked at how open-source investigations by NGOs and the media are affecting fact-making at the UNSC, by the example of Gaza.
