'International law, whose authority has been invoked by the [UNGA], has an important but ultimately limited role in resolving this problem'. Striking words at the conclusion of the #ICJ's #climatechange opinion. Has the ICJ been this humble in the past? icj-cij.org/sites/default/fi…

What happens to a legal community when its institutional core begins to fracture? At #SIEL2025 in Taipei, I spoke about how geopolitical shifts are reshaping not just WTO adjudication—but the very community of trade lawyers around it. linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…

A gift shop in Esquilino, Rome. If our law cannot stop this (see 🇮🇹 Constitutional Court decisions 1/54 and 74/58), our politics must. #nopasarán #theyshallnotpass

Thanks so much to the participants in the inaugural SWAIL (Second World Approaches to International Law) workshop in Vienna. 2 intense days of conversations that have left me intellectually enriched and exhausted (in a good way). Hard to summarize this event...

No, @nytimes. Trump’s solution for Gaza is not ‘brazen’. It is an overt call for ethnic cleansing. It is illegal under both US and international law. It reaches levels of callousness that no one, irrespective of their views, should condone. Words matter. nytimes.com/2025/02/04/us/po…

It is important that the media covers the impact of Trump's trade policy. But could it please note that it violates US treaty commitments & international law, & parallels his violations of US law & the Constitution. It is all part of the US becoming a lawless, prerogative state.

Write every day for 1 hour. If you miss a writing day add 1 hour to the next. It’s incredible! Tomorrow I’m writing for 7 years.

Signed the contract for my next book Green Frontiers with @VersoBooks today! 💫 Greenland and its critical minerals have become disturbingly relevant… in this book I look at the laws (of extraction) that create new energy sacrifice zones, with Greenland as my central concern 🇬🇱

I was curious about Onuma's transcivilizaitonalism in my undergrad days in Tokyo, and became more so after I learned much more about TWAIL. So I wrote about it. academic.oup.com/ejil/advanc…

This is a deeply regrettable decision from the Netanyahu government. I utterly reject the assertion that Ireland is anti-Israel. Ireland is pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-International law.
