Today I discussed the @echr.coe.int approach to COVID-19 cases at @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social, suggesting ways the proportionality test under the International Health Regulations could better protect the rule of law in pandemic cases.
Thanks to all organisers and participants!

Very interesting:
The article's results "show significantly different responses from faculty depending on the student's name and association with a racialised group."
This might also apply to applications for postdocs, grants, lectureships, and similar opportunities

Anyone who’s worked on German constitutional law knows how hard it is to find good resources in English. Recently, I came across a newly published edited volume by many of Germany’s leading scholars; a great resource to get familiar with German constitutional law.

Not providing feedback on applications is very unfair.
We always say people should learn from their mistakes, but if someone doesn't know what the mistake is, how can they learn from it?

I hate IRIB. It's a propaganda machine of the Iranian Authoritatian Regime
BUT according to the Geneva Conventions:
"The bombing of a television station, simply because it is being used for the purposes of propaganda, cannot be condoned. It is a civilian object”

If you have a colleague or student from Iran or Israel, despite your political standing, please reach out to them and ask them how they are doing.
It is a tough time for civilians, particularly those far from their loved ones.

Glad to share my post on Strasbourg Observers, where I examine the ECtHR's ruling in El Aroud and Soughir v. Belgium. I argue that citizenship revocation in counter-terrorism is a punitive act with serious human rights consequences.

I had the pleasure of speaking at the @wzb.bsky.social on “Counter-Terrorism and Citizenship Revocation.”
In my talk, I examined the approach of the European Court of Human Rights, focusing on whether the revocation of citizenship of terrorists is an administrative measure or a criminal punishment.

Wrapping up 2024: This week, I had the chance to teach remotely at Shahid Beheshti University in Iran as a guest lecturer.
I joined Dr. Mahnaz Bayat Komitaki’s Public Law class, talking about the State of Emergency and Rule of Law. Such a rewarding experience!
