Another article from our special issue on frames of human rights is out: @esrademir.bsky.social’s fantastic piece on oppositional frames, analysing how concepts like authoritarianism and populism are used and what this tells us about the Council of Europe itself

Another paper from our special issue on Frames of European human rights is out: “Seriously ill migrants in European human rights: Framing global inequalities” by @vanditak.bsky.social — absolute must-read on humanitarianism, responsibility & structural inequality

www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

📄 New article:

Colonialism continues to shape the project of European human rights. In this article I trace the continuity of civilizational hierarchies in the ECtHR’s case-law on extraterritoriality and European consensus

Available in EJIL @ejiltalk.bsky.social: academic.oup.com/ejil/advance...

Do human rights provide a progressive counterpoint to migration law?

In this article, I highlight their structurally conservative side & argue that the European Court of Human Rights legitimates the foundations of border regimes even when finding rights violations #migsky

Tomorrow it’s finally time for our workshop on Critical Approaches to European Human Rights at @hertiecfr.bsky.social, co-organised with @esrademir.bsky.social & @cohelongo.bsky.social and with an absolute dream line-up of speakers — looking forward to an intense day of thinking together #CritECHR

I can’t provide cats but here’s Carrie behaving like one to welcome you

I especially liked this part on how “the State moves in and out” of the Court’s approach to vulnerability — we see something very similar in other areas as well, I think, e.g. in the case-law on migrant vulnerability

Popping this on here as well: “Intersectionality’s travels to international human rights law” was recently published 🌱

On institutional lives & non-lives of intersectionality; origin stories & their politics; and the danger of deradicalizing Black feminism: repository.law.umich.edu/mjil/vol45/i...

Absolute best starter pack idea! 😍

@felixbieker.bsky.social and I are the parents of Carrie, who would be supremely excited to meet all the humans and dogs in this thread

I never know what to say in my first post on new social media, so here’s a photo of Carrie instead. Hi everyone 👋
