Another post is now up on my 'International legal craft' Substack - this time thinking, perhaps circuitously, about circles and cycles in international legal thought: intlegalcraft.substack.com/p…

After some humming and hahing, I set up a Substack. Will be writing about intl law, the field, writing, teaching, the university, and more. Subscribe/share if you're interested (or, as I still am, mildly amused): intlegalcraft.substack.com/

Why, you ask? The constraints of academic writing, the publishing racket, and for a different - better? - scholarly community: intlegalcraft.substack.com/p…

I had the pleasure to review The Justice Factory: Management practices at the ICC (academic.oup.com/ia/article-…) for IA (@IAJournal_CH) Richard Clements' (@RiClements) pathbreaking book is a must read for those interested in the ICC and global governance. academic.oup.com/ia/article-…

It was such a pleasure to chat with @clc_rsil about my new book, The Justice Factory, a few weeks ago. You can find the full 25-minute interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=lD7FipeB… (Perfect timing for the commute!) @TilburgLaw @CUP_Law

We sat down with Dr. @RiClements to discuss his book about the International Criminal Court titled 'The Justice Factory'. Watch here: youtu.be/lD7FipeBAI0

Like the ad hoc Tribunals, I will now be gradually phasing out of X (let's hope it doesn't take me as long as it took them). Let's reconvene on Bluesky at riclements.bsky.social

Yesterday we protested all over the Netherlands against the planned defunding of universities
‘Onze toekomst is niet te koop!’ Zo’n 250 studenten en medewerkers vormden vanmiddag een krachtige proteststoet op de campus van Tilburg University. #TilburgU universonline.nl/nieuws/2024…

A planned peaceful protest by university staff and students against government cuts due to take place tomorrow in Utrecht has been cancelled on the grounds that the city is afraid of potential 'pro-Palestinian demonstrations' that may turn violent.

Not only is this a clear attack on academic freedom and the right to peaceful protest, but it also undermines solidarity between the two causes. Suppressing those who oppose genocide is now being used as cover to suppress any voices critical of the new Dutch govt. Disgraceful.

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.
