What happens to a legal community when its institutional core begins to fracture?
At #SIEL2025 in Taipei, I spoke about how geopolitical shifts are reshaping not just WTO adjudication—but the very community of trade lawyers around it.

After days of disruption by pro-Palestine activists at its Build developer conference, No Azure for Apartheid said, Microsoft made it impossible to send emails containing "Palestine" or "Gaza."

Adiós, Francisco. Un papa humilde, compasivo y un agente de cambio, que habló incansablemente en favor de los migrantes, los pobres y la destrucción planetaria. La tristeza y, más importante, su legado son enormes.
Muere el papa Francisco a los 88 años
Tras décadas de liderazgo conservador, Francisco intentó redefinir el rumbo de la Iglesia católica, haciendo hincapié en la inclusión y la atención a los marginados por encima de la pureza doctrinal.

No, @nytimes.com. Donald Trump’s solution for Gaza is not ‘brazen’. It is an overt call for ethnic cleansing. It is illegal under both US and international law. It reaches levels of callousness that no one, irrespective of their views, should condone. Words matter.

Canadians should avoid relying on a woolly notion of a rules-based order. These tariffs are US violations of international law. Unclear possible justifications for it. Holding US accountable within existing global mechanisms are vital to maintain cooperation for global public goods & long problems.
