Fantastic @eulegalstudies.bsky.social lunchtime seminar by @lselaw.bsky.social's Professor Niamh Dunne on the important question of 'Effectiveness and Coherence in Article 102 TFEU' @cambridgelaw.bsky.social. Great to see so many people interested in EU competition law.

UK arguments for US operations from its bases blur the line between lawful self-defence and unlawful war on Iran The UK claims any US aircraft flying from bases like Fairford and Diego Garcia can only act in defence of British regional allies. Such a distinction may be unrealistic in a theatre of war.

Important @chathamhouse.org blog by my @lauterpachtcentre.bsky.social colleague Prof Marc Weller. If the original use of force is classed as illegal, any assistance to the aggressor states needs carful legal review and might trigger state responsibility.

In this interview with the SCOTUS Blog, which launches its series on global apex courts, I reflect on the role of the UK Supreme Court and consider whether adjudication at this level in the UK is really as apolitical as we often assume it to be. www.scotusblog.com/2026/03/the-...
