Happy to share my latest article #OA in @ejiltalk! It is part of a symposium on international law & inequality. Tracing the construction of Europe's virtual borders, I signal the inequalities that result from digital technologies of sensing and sorting. https://t.co/6yjbkMrjxu

As a reminder, advisory opinions are authoritative statements of *binding* international law. When international lawyers say that advisory opinions are "non-binding" what we mean is that the opinion does not *create* any *additional* obligations *owed to the Court* 1/

1. The Trump - Netanyahu plan should be opposed and rejected. It offers the Palestinians a choice between colonial apartheid and occupation, at best, and gives a cover for the continuation of the genocide, at worst. 1/24 🧵

"Ending the genocide is not enough. The illegal occupation must also be terminated" ✍️ Opinion by Ralph Wilde https://t.co/qexL2T4Fzs

A famine determination is, by definition, an alarm that comes too late. It is a mark of shame regarding what has already been done. This is a stain on our collective conscience that will never be removed. https://t.co/4B4VXwBYHw

1/ Today we launched one of two first reports by Israeli organisations, calling out the genocide in Gaza. The other report was published by B'tselem. Our own report, by Physicians for Human Rights–Israel, focuses on the systematic destruction of health system.

To my fellow Europeans, 450ml EU citizens : The EU, which had already disgraced itself by entering the Association agreement with Apartheid Israel years ago, is now refusing to suspend it. This is the final piece of evidence that the EU is consciously supporting Israel’s

This is not business as usual. My new UN report, From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide, is out today. It shows how corporations have fueled and legitimised the destruction of Palestine. Genocide, it would seem, is profitable. This cannot continue, accountability must

Great hybrid-conversation at the Law & Society Association conference about our book (co-ed by @g_sullivan @Dimitri_VdM & me) Global Governance by Data: Infrastructures of Algorithmic Rule, forthcoming open access with @CUP_Law. 🙏to Gavin & to @mattccanfield for comments.

Een volk heeft het recht zijn politieke toekomst te bepalen, stelt @Dimitri_VdM, “zeker de voorwaarde omtrent het vastleggen v territoriale grenzen in een vredesproces m Israël: daarmee geef je de illegale bezetter een veto op vrijheid v Palestijns volk.” https://t.co/WPMquQ9tNQ

Critical @nytimes visual Investigation of the IDF attack against three Red Crescent Vehicles. This is hard to watch, but we mustn't look away. With all available info I struggle to see how the attacks analysed here could be anything but a war crime. https://t.co/UoabbEr4yv

Ik sprak met @MaartenRabaey @demorgen, die een sterk stuk schreef over de lange lijst oorlogsmisdaden en misdaden tegen de menselijkheid waar Israël zich schuldig aan maakt. Het is een kroniek van de horror. Noodzakelijk om te lezen. En te blijven lezen. https://t.co/BfpF4cN7XN

@Bart_DeWever Het is onwaarschijnlijk met hoeveel gemak De Wever - en hij is uiteraard niet alleen, (extreem)rechts vandaag is zot van glorie - bereid zijn de internationale rechtsorde op te blazen voor een pragmatische geopolitieke afweging op korte termijn. Wat een ongelofelijke vergissing.

@Bart_DeWever We hypothekeren onze sociale welvaart met enorme uitgaven in defensie terwijl we de internationale rechtsorde ondermijnen die gecreëerd is voor het bestendigen van collectieve veiligheid. Je moet toch geen groot historicus zijn om te zien waar die dynamiek toe leidt?

@Bart_DeWever De Wever's logica impliceert het einde van de wereld die hij pretendeert te verkiezen. Geef mij dan maar Orban's eerlijkheid die zich uit Rome Statute (Internationaal Strafhof) terugtrekt. Wat zijn we met verdragspartijen die op voorhand aankondigen verdrag te zullen schenden?

@Bart_DeWever Hoe kan je bedrijven garanderen dat ze door investment treaties beschermd zijn als landen die naast zich neer kunnen leggen wanneer realpolitiek dat vereist? Selectiviteit in toepassing van de regels is opheffen van hun wederkerigheid. Daarmee hef je ook je eigen bescherming op.
