Join us in London on 23 January for the inaugural event of the Centre for the Critique of Law and Society @qmul.bsky.social. With stellar speakers we reflect on the state of (legal) critique as we confront a world of "death and destruction without alibi". 👇👇👇 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-state-...

“De strijd voor de bevrijding van Palestina is de strijd tegen een wereld waarin het geweld dat we in Gaza zien de norm wordt.” @dimitrivdm.bsky.social #Zomerreeks #MakeEuropeGreatAgain #Mega2025 👉 www.sampol.be/2025/07/euro...

Europa, strijd voor de bevrijding van Palestina (en voor het internationaal recht)

De strijd voor de bevrijding van Palestina is de strijd tegen een wereld waarin het geweld dat we in Gaza zien de norm wordt. Het is een strijd die de toekomst van Europa vorm zal geven.

“Het associatieverdrag dat de rectoren willen opschorten, omvat ook academische samenwerking. Eigenlijk pleiten ze dus zelf voor een academische boycot. Toch blijven onze universiteiten halsstarrig vasthouden aan die academische banden – formeel of via netwerken en consortia.” 1/2

“we’re not fighting an army, we’re fighting an idea. If I kill the fighters, the idea can still remain. But I want to make the idea unviable. When they look at Shuja’iyya and see there’s nothing there—just sand —that’s the point. I don’t think they’ll be able to return here for at least 100 years.”

Ik sprak met @maartenrabaey.bsky.social @demorgen.be die een sterk stuk schreef over de lange lijst oorlogsmisdaden en misdaden tegen de menselijkheid waar Israël zich schuldig aan maakt. Het is een kroniek van de horror. Noodzakelijk om te lezen en te blijven lezen. www.demorgen.be/nieuws/elke-...

‘Elke dag zagen we baby’s sterven’: hoe Israël in Gaza de oorlogsmisdaden opstapelt

New work with Gavin Sullivan in the German Law Journal! Informed by unique access, we trace the design of Cerberus: an AI-based risk tool deployed by the UK Home Office. Cerberus, we argue, enacts a governmentality of suspicion that evades our regulatory repertoire. cambridge.org/core/journal...
