This Research Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) with chapters exploring different facets of TWAIL scholarship. It covers major doctrines and topics of international law, as well as TWAIL perspectives on central historical and theoretical debates. Expert authors present key insights into various themes that intersect with international law including economics, post-colonialism, religion, development, treaties, and human rights. The Research Handbook underscores the cornerstone concepts of TWAIL and examines their relationship with intellectual traditions such as Marxism and feminism. Contributing authors outline TWAIL’s perspectives on core areas of international law such as customary international law, treaties and human rights, as well as important contemporary issues, including debt, climate change, and public health. Ultimately, the Research Handbook showcases an expanded and enriched vision of international law, assessing how alternate methodologies can lead to a fairer legal system.

A water desalination plant is presumptively a civilian object & it is an object indispensable to survival.
Targeting a civilian object is a war crime.
Targeting an object indispensable to survival can implicate the starvation war crime.

When you get a genuine answer to your parenthetical, lmk. We used to be able to uninstall these bots, at least theoretically. Now there's no no pretense of this possibility. So tired of wasting keystrokes to say, in effect, "No thanks, inanimate machine I did not ask for and do not want. I'm on it."
The UK's legal position on the use of its bases in the Middle East is solid with one glaring hole: The US cannot act in collective self-defence with the Gulf States. It is the aggressor. Ergo the UK cannot assist the US in collective self-defence.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
this is so good and just a well-articulated statement of how inequality matters for domestic and global security. @aoc.bsky.social is really an extraordinary politician.

On the anniversary of Bloody Sunday i can’t help but reflect on how we are beholden to a bicameral parliament based in London, with NI reps a tiny minority, and hoping they’ll take out some of the most egregious clauses as they continue to impose a legacy bill. www.rte.ie/news/ulster/...
