Hi to all who are new here - as I‘m still figuring out how to use this platform, so much is certain: you‘ll mostly find research and well-informed opinions on legal aspects of trade, sustainable development, and democracy here. And pictures of mountains. And dogs. 🐶

will be interesting to see what kind of WTO compatible solution CH found regarding the unilateral agricultural concessions towards US…

Charlotte Sieber-Gasser @chsiebergasser.bsky.social · 1d

some aspects of Swiss gold trade might be moved to US (as part of the private sector investments in US)

not clear whether chlorinated chicken will find its way to Switzerland now…

not legally binding - declaration of intent - should be transformed into proper agreement

Swiss concessions: some US agricultural products with reduced tariffs or bigger quotas. 200 billions FDI by private sector promised until end of 2028.

Charlotte Sieber-Gasser @chsiebergasser.bsky.social · 1d

Switzerland has a deal with the US. A reduction to 15% tariffs (EU level - reduced from 39%) in return for 200 billions FDI… pharmaceuticals excluded from tariffs for the time being and with a maximum of 15% following section 232 investigations.

Does this really mean tariffs do not apply if there any kind of construction of any kind of pharmaceutical plant – even it totally unrelated to branded, patented drugs?

U.S. to impose 100% tariff on branded, patented drugs unless firms build plants locally, Trump says

The measure will not apply to companies building drug manufacturing plants in the U.S., Trump added.

"Falling Far and Fast"

Yale Law’s ROBERT POST — one of the nation’s foremost experts on freedom of speech — has been teaching First Amendment law for more than 40 years.

For the first time, he fears that freedom of speech in America is truly endangered.

Quote: “The Trump Administration has taken direct aim at the First Amendment, the foundation stone of our democracy.”

The interesting question is also what qualifies as „controversial view“ - since even stating mere facts might be considered a „controversial view“. Press also needs to get this straight.

I feel really bad for my fellow professors. They are working in an autocracy, and this is what happens.

There is no wide open job market to escape to. They are stuck in this madness.

and:

Right-wing extremist violence is more frequent and more deadly than left-wing violence − what the data shows

Donald Trump and top administration officials confidently assert that left-wing political violence is a huge problem in the US. They’re wrong, say researchers who study extremism.

very interesting – by experts, do you also include academics, or 'just' the earlier mentioned technocrats? and in both cases, I wonder whether it would not actually result in a systemic change of their role if they became public figures, given that their traditional role is one in the background...

Charlotte Sieber-Gasser @chsiebergasser.bsky.social · Sep 13

Security policy is not my specialty. To understand better, I went to an event about the role of Europe in Swiss security policy: In essence, the panel held that we are not witnessing the transition to a multipolar world, but the global battle between democracy and autocracy. What if that’s true?! 🤯

Breaking News: A federal appeals court ruled that many of President Trump’s most punishing tariffs are illegal. But the judges delayed the implementation of their order until October to grant the administration time to seek review by the Supreme Court.

Appeals Court Rules Against Many Trump Tariffs

The decision is a big blow to President Trump’s trade policies, but the judges left the duties in place for now to allow time for a likely appeal to the Supreme Court.

For me, the confirmation that climate mitigation must comply with sustainable development is just as central as the fact that states have individual obligations of ambitious climate mitigation measures under customary international law.

The International Court of Justice delivered a "historic" Advisory Opinion on climate change obligations. In this interview, experts like @mwewerinke.bsky.social, and @yusrasuedi.bsky.social explain what this means for climate policies and litigation 🌍 https://bit.ly/45yXM1t
