What more can Australia be doing on #slavery onshore and in supply chains?
Thank you UNSR @TomObokata for sharing insights @ourANU campus today

The populist backlash against global institutions may be good for them | @Fordthought | https://t.co/WZZw30TRDb

'In fact, the greater risk, from an Australian and Pacific perspective, is being passive and naive in multilateral arenas while autocratic powers capture and re-shape the institutions and agendas of the post-1945 order', writes @Fordthought. https://t.co/F7GgHiGQP6

Trying to post on this platform about an event on combatting contemp. forms of slavery, and the message is 'this post has been identified as potentially harmful'. Umm...? @ANUMigration

(Timely!?) next from our #populism project:
"scholarship seeks to diagnose populist antagonism towards international law [but] rather than an external social pathology, [populism] is a politics... internal to liberal constitutional democracy..." https://t.co/xvVGaIL2Sb

Such a pleasure to join this panel with you @Fordthought and @JTasioulas - in what must surely be the most beautiful law building in the world! I was talking about my paper, ‘The Problem With Complex Legislation’, forthcoming in Legal Theory

[Jolyon Ford @Fordthought]

What do self-regulatory, 'soft law' approaches to tech #governance mean for Rule of Law?
Great to join @JTasioulas @dr_lbc on panel @Macquarie_Law

Populists mock a condescending elite (disconnected from 'the people') for whom the fruits of the liberal world order are self-evident. Does this describe us working on #humanrights?

Grateful to discuss my book in Geneva this week #HRC26 #populism

[Jolyon Ford @Fordthought]

#humanrights and the rise of #populism... casualty or causal factor?
Many great Geneva chats this week

How do populist governments engage with international law and institutions? A key issue, some answers (and many more questions) in today’s intriguing discussion with @imogensaunders, @Fordthought and Jeremy Farrell @ANU_Law today.

[Jolyon Ford @Fordthought]

#Populism is marked by nostalgia. Are international lawyers (alarmed by populism) also overly nostalgic for an intl legal order that has passed?
Thanks @GVAGrad for hosting @ANU_Law today

[Imogen Saunders @imogensaunders]

@Fordthought and I had a wonderful event on our Reconceiving Engagement with International Law project at Cambridge yesterday - many thanks to the @Lauterpacht_Ctr and @ANU_Law super alumni @GillisMatilda (here with her fellows photo at Corpus Christi) for hosting us.

[Jolyon Ford @Fordthought]

Cambridge! Our project: how does
#populism at home shape multilateralism abroad (and vice-versa)?

A #ClimateAction 'duty of care' on government decision-makers to future generations? What are some issues?
Should Australia have a Duty of Care Act? (https://t.co/X46hqFvO0D)
