- Ik sprak met @maartenrabaey.bsky.social @demorgen.be 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. www.demorgen.be/nieuws/elke-...
- Wat @glbouchez.bsky.social aantoont is erg zinvol. Het is een eerlijke en duidelijke bekentenis dat hij geen enkel begrip heeft van het concept genocide en de betekenis van die term in internationaal recht. Dit zijn de figuren die ook Lemkin's erfenis verraden. Erg Pijnlijk. t.co/z8OjlsDPSP

- New work with Gavin Sullivan in the German Law Journal! Informed by unique access, we trace the design of Cerberus: an AI-based risk tool deployed by the UK Home Office. Cerberus, we argue, enacts a governmentality of suspicion that evades our regulatory repertoire. cambridge.org/core/journal...
- The article conceptualises the relational and material co-composition of law / infrastructure. It stems from a fantastic project by Nora Stappert, @whamiltonbyrne.bsky.social, @tgammeltoft.bsky.social on legal infrastructures. The special issue contains only gems👇 www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

- "Hij is mijn beste vriend", zegt de man die zijn arrestatie voor oorlogsmisdaden en misdaden tegen de menselijkheid ontloopt. Trump's plan om Gaza te bezetten volgt een koloniaal traject van etnische zuivering. Het is op zich al een illegale dreiging 🧵 www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/20...
