Snapshots of the #Nuremberg forum 2025, from last week. Surreal to be speaking on a panel in historic courtroom 600, where the weight of history is all encompassing.

Little over a week since the symposium on intersectionality & international criminal justice, University of Munster. Still reflecting on it & the space accorded for the discussion. My contribution was on universal jurisdiction & the global south. Thank you to the organizers!

When the world seems to be going to hell in a handbag, one way to deal is to read and explore. And this is such a great read, highly recommend it.

I look forward to contributing to my alma mater the National Law School of India University, and more broadly, to the international law ecosystem in India. As I continue leading the Asia Justice Coalition, bringing my years of practice into an academic space is the best of both worlds!

Watching ANC live, 11 pm in Manila right now and seems plane carrying Duterte is taxing. No confirmation yet from the Philippine government, and a Presidential press conference expected (after take off, everyone is assuming).

Important development. Of course, there have been rumblings of this for the past few months, due to the political infighting in the Philippines.
