Academic wannabe, I teach law sometimes . I talk a lot about books , politics , history and diplomacy.
Int Criminal Law , IHL and IHR.
They are , but even if there were true … a war is terrifying , the fighting front is horrifying, seeing your comrades getting killed one day and another is heart breaking . If they cry , they cry because they have humanity left in them. The same cannot be said about Putin and his psychopaths

The US under Trump is no longer a reliable partner - and the world needs to find solutions fast.
European negotiators were personally targeted by their American counterparts during a brutal negotiation over green shipping rules, European Commission officials told POLITICO. 

This highly unusual gambit left diplomats shaken after the meeting.

Negotiators at shipping talks in London were told both they and their countries could be punished unless they voted with the U.S.

emerging reports about possibly imminent US military attack on venezuela. there can be no doubt about it, certainly not in the coverage: such an attack would be an act of aggression, lacking any basis in international law. we'll get sophistic arguments about self-defense but none will be legit.

I wish everyone here who have dressed up their dogs in silly outfits , a day of cloths malfunction and humiliation. Apologies for the unpopular opinion
These dogs were spotted taking a group photo in their Halloween costumes. We're impressed by the dog walker's dedication to getting the shot, but that ghost definitely wishes he could actually disappear. 14/10 for all (TT: franklinbarkzoo)

The International Criminal Court (ICC) will switch its internal work environment away from Microsoft Office to Open Desk, a European open source alternative. The switch comes amid rising concerns about public bodies being reliant on US tech companies.

The problem with being centrist is where the centre lies once one of the parties has gone so far out to one extreme. This is a general problem for democratic parties in rising of authoritarianism

Raoul Wallenberg would not be proud of the Swedish diplomatic staff , I don’t think ….
We’ve met with Greta Thunberg and others in the flotilla. They describe hours-long scenes of torture and sexual harassment in Israeli captivity. Experts conclude that they have been subjected to serious crimes – Sweden’s foreign minister believes they have themselves to blame.

Why would anyone vote / give power to someone telling you that we ll use it against you , and do not want controls to be stopped ? Honestly humans!
Shocked, shocked to discover that Lord Wolfson's report says exactly what Kemi Badenoch wanted it to say and finds no GFA impediment to the UK leaving the ECHR and that only sunlit policy uplands will result from doing so. A tissue of Conservative wish fulfilment:
