Ehm...

1) Because it is an integral part of the UK - not an overseas territority etcs., - & UK wide law applies to it

2) Direct Rule is always a possibility

3) Nice to the Conversative & Unionist Party looking for yet another sea border, as that is so popular.

A must read from Guy S Goodwin-Gill - his exortation at the end

'We must make it known that we do not want and will not share our space with war criminals or génocidaires.'

& that we must talk & talk about genocide needs to be heard loud & clear among public international law scholars

@bikesnbukes.bsky.social ... Lovely piece to be written about mundane utopian thinking

There is also the ICJ Advisory Opinion on Climate Change - only days ago - where the complete loss of territory would no longer mean the end of statehood. 2/3

Disputed borders is far less than this.

This is not helping my feeling that the UK Constitution is entirely vibe based.

On the Morrigan Blog we've two excellent blog posts on two very different but critical areas of law:

First, @reidindoyle.bsky.social on the Irish Care #Referendums & the nature of 'symbolic' referendums

It took a while to prove there were no WMDs in Iraq... Though really we all knew. And we all know again & well immediately 👇

I also wrote this with @ruthhoughton.bsky.social about imperialism, blueprint utopias and all the very real harms that follow

I wrote this piece well before Trump's reelection but the links between Prospera and the administration are clear. I had not realised the links to Christian nationalism that @jennycohn.bsky.social outlines here

Thoroughly enjoyed reading & writing about Immi Tellgren's Joseph Fletcher Prize winning collection

Portraits of Women in International Law

I look at Radical Remembering as a #feminist act & as a counterweight to processes of active forgetting -

Really interesting from @lewisgoodall.com at 18mins in about #Trump & MAGA's idea of masculine/feminine states

shorturl.at/yXsGw

Lookined into that a while back & its impact on #internationallaw & #imperialism in the 19th C & its continuing impact now

This piece raises very important pts about academics & providing justifications to inhumane practices - here leaving children without citizenship - without the right to rights as per Arendt .

Incumbent on us all to not leave the field to those that happily use their academic place to do harm

Whatever about what happens next 👇what??

It doesn't appear on records, places migrants are being held doesn't appear on records? Says something awful about the Biden Administration - I don't know why I'm surprised

This is my test for AI - from a lawery place - this took a few specific prompts - but eventually it said Flannbhuí - & actually translated it properly

So DeepSeek can get a better answer using less resources I suppose?

Health warning = not AI expert & took prompts - & I know the accurate answer
