Blog by @dliliansa | The torpedoing of IRIS Dena ~40nm off Sri Lanka is a stark reminder: naval hostilities may occur within the 200nm EEZ, making spillover into neutral EEZs a foreseeable reality. Is it time for Southeast Asia to voice its position? https://t.co/nlobjYplCN

In this commentary, Alexandra Hofer argues that the US’s kidnapping of Venezuela’s and the weak responses from ‘the West’ expose how international law often masks power politics, now brought out in the open under President Trump. https://t.co/5qtVZChfzr

From unlawful force to credible threats, the line is thinning fast. Greenland and Taiwan expose how security talk and inevitability hollow out Article 2(4). International law was meant to stop this before force is used. https://t.co/zq97Ar6r5M

[CIL Ocean Law and Policy @CIL_Oceans]

We are pleased to share that our report from our @NUS_CIL -@NCLOS_UiT Dialogue 2025 on “Arctic Governance: Contemporary Trends in Shipping, Environment, and Security” is now published.

International law did not emerge from a single centre. This blog proposes a Silk Road methodology that rethinks international law as a product of transregional connectivity, cross-civilisational interaction, and long-term Eurasian legal histories. https://t.co/AtMFFydfOE

Prof. Anghie closes this symposium with a characteristically generous and careful engagement with all contributors, while offering his crucial diagnosis of the current moment, one characterized by the rise of nationalist and annexationist imperialism. https://t.co/ILyq338Eg5

[CILDialogues @CilDialogues]

“Empire always comes home – the question is not whether but how.” Prof. Pahuja grapples with the mounting corporate capture of US politics, highlighting the central role of corporation in imperial order-making which has now reached the imperial core. https://t.co/Zgr0P31a0o

A certain kind of hope seems to permeate and sustain Anghie's critical scholarship. Phil Saengkrai discusses what it is and where it comes from. He also suggests how this kind of hope can be nourished in our time of multiple crises. https://t.co/464BtsKr3A

How has Anghie’s book been received in China, a state with an ongoing self-understanding as a Third World country? Zhaoran LIN explains the complex picture of Chinese attitudes toward critical scholarship on the Third World, including TWAIL. https://t.co/pBDm2j2IeE

[CILDialogues @CilDialogues]

Sahiba Maqbool examines how India’s use of sovereignty, succession, and self-determination in Kashmir reflects the colonial logic critiqued by Anghie, showing how international law can sustain postcolonial domination rather than dismantle it. https://t.co/ZQRb2REDZZ

[CILDialogues @CilDialogues]

Zeina Jallad examines how international law, far from offering protection, has entrenched structures of domination in Palestine. It challenges us to rethink sovereignty, justice, and the colonial logics embedded in legal frameworks. https://t.co/qTkDgywIwk

[CILDialogues @CilDialogues]

This symposium not only celebrates the 20th anniversary of ISMIL but builds on its indispensable insights to understand the current historical moment as a particular combination of continuity and rupture. https://t.co/6smEyMvlbc
