I’m having a crisis over international law. I’ve taught it, become an expert in it, believe in it, though there are flaws. It’s my professional life

Am I wrong in saying that? If so, how?

Conor Gearty died a month ago yesterday. He was deeply committed to human rights law without idealising it. He recognised its power & value while acknowledging its limitations (& those of the people engaging with it). He was also an exceptional lawyer. This is a fitting final piece in the @lrb.co.uk

The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him.
If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.
