For those planning courses for next semester, the stories & associated video conversations--trade, migration, LOAC, climate change, IOs, outer space law, etc--are extraordinary accountings of current US policies. Kudos to Ingrid Brunk, @monicahakimi.bsky.social @jkatzcogan.bsky.social + all authors!

Democratic backsliding is now a global phenomenon, with Donald Trump's America only the most visible and dramatic example. But @drodrik.bsky.social still sees some bright spots elsewhere. bit.ly/4m0PTI9

Who Will Model Democracy Now?

Dani Rodrik looks for bright spots in a world where authoritarianism is on the rise, even in the United States.

Ingrid and I issued the following statement in the just-released issue of @ajil.bsky.social. A travesty that it has to be said.

This paper is a product of years of frustration with—and yet, an unrelenting commitment to—the field of international law. I hope it helps to launch a (more) productive conversation about what intl law has historically done and where the field might go from here. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

I finally managed to escape the news feed, and it was glorious.

This was a great event, largely because Kinstler, Hassan, and Roth are all so inspiring. Thanks to @mcnallyjackson.bsky.social for hosting.

As Ingrid and I explain, the prohibition of annexations—the intl legal norm that prohibits states from forcibly acquiring territory—lies at the very foundation of modern intl law. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I put much work into this. DOJ is trying to block courts' access to info in #AbregoGarcia and Alien Enemies Act cases by asserting it is a "state secret." I walk through the clear case law on this topic. I provide a Table of senior officials' statements that preclude the state secret privilege.

No "State Secrets” in Removals of Non-US Citizens to El Salvador

A series of statements by senior officials preclude the Trump administration's state secrets privilege in the the El Salvador removal cases.

Meeting friends and heroes at the EUI workshop “Shifting Powers, Shifting Roles: The Present and Future of International Institutions”. Brilliant keynote discussions by @monicahakimi.bsky.social, Tony Anghie, @sarahnou.bsky.social. Also a great setting to discuss de-dollarisation and int’l law!

If you are teaching international law in the fall, the sixth edition just went to the printers—with extensive updates throughout and entirely new problems on the South China Sea, the Chagos Archipelago, Indigenous persons, Western Sahara, and the IMF.

I first read this to mean LLM _students_ and was all “?!?” But I guess it makes sense for the other kind of LLM.

Mike Caulfield@mikecaulfield.bsky.social · last yr.

In this article I argue treating LLMs like experts or authors or friends instead of as a conduit to access the insights of nameable others is a mistake, both in terms of dangers and lost opportunities www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

My piece with @jkatzcogan.bsky.social is out in @ajil.bsky.social. We argue that the international legal system—which the US played an outsized role in establishing & maintaining—is under enormous strain. This was true pre-Trump and is all the more so now. 1/ 🧶 www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
