ein Defensivbündnis zweier neutrale Staaten wäre ein herrliches Verfassungs-Oxymoron

the first and final picture I took during my recent trip to Israel/Jerusalem. I had the opportunity to talk about the conflation of the ius ad bellum and ius in bello at the 20th Minerva Center for Human Rights annual conference. Heated debates about, among others, Gaza and genocide.

I just looked it up: "Genocide" appears 68 times in the Nuremberg records. Remember: No Nazi leader was convicted for genocide in Nuremberg.

Greetings from Israel/Jerusalem. A few impressions. The good, the bad and the ugly.

Greetings from Israel/Jerusalem, where I will be attending the
20th Annual Minerva Conference on International Humanitarian Law tomorrow and Tuesday and talk about ius in bello vs ius ad bellum. The place and topic couldn't be more timely. Program here: en.minervacenter.huji.ac.il/upcoming-eve...

“”A clash of two worlds"”, [National socialist] Berlin and London were not playing the same game, though some on both sides wished they were”

Makes me think of today, where neither Washington nor London, Paris and Berlin nor Moscow are playing the same game. We want peace. Russia wants war.

“liberalism looked tired, the organized Left had been smashed and the sole struggles over ideology and governance were taking place within the Right-among authoritarians, traditional conservatives, technocrats and radical right-wing extremists”

Reading about the Interwar period is quite chilling …

this recent "interview" with the Palantir CEO made me think of the most accurate headline in recent history of headlines

veeery interesting tables (from Mazower's The Dark Continent) showing how minorities in European countries disappeared during the 20th century and how they were about to become more ethnically heterogenous again over time

let's bring the good old pre-Women workplace back. @nytimes.com is asking the right questions!

this argument is dangerous nonsense. There is no legal basis for the US' strikes on "drug boats", not under the ius ad bellum, not under US law, not under the law of armed conflict, not under human rights law. It's state-orchestrated murder, plain and simple.

US alt right accounts ("End Wokness" has 3.9 mil followers) have found out that there are Muslims in Vienna. The comments are also quite something, one thinks that the video was made in the US, others say Hitler "predicted this" or that "we need him back", another one speaks of "white genocide".
