I cannot remember the last time Indonesia used stronger language on a matter of global security:

Foreign Minister Retno affirms ICJ jurisdiction to give Advisory Opinion.

"... no country is above the law. And the sanctity of this Court must be upheld.
Indonesia believes that this legal motion is also a motion of global conscience."

Rebuffs the US view that giving an Advisory Opinion would damage any ongoing peace effort:

"...there is no viable peace process to be undermined. Israel has been consistently obstructing a negotiated Two-State solution...With such strong resistance from Israel to stop its colonial project and its “fait accompli" unilateral actions, no peace process will viably bring a just, lasting, and comprehensive solution. After all, negotiation with someone holding a gun against your head is not a negotiation at all."

US actions such as vetoing ceasefire resolutions and opposing ICJ advisory opinion on Palestine (after rejecting South Africa's "genocide" filing) will stoke anti-American sentiment in Indonesia, the world's 4th largest nation, largest Muslim-majority nation, and otherwise friendly to US, key to US Indo-Pacific strategy. It has very good relations with US, including moves to create a comprehensive strategic partnership.

Keep in mind these words come from the outgoing Indonesian govt. not looking for reelection, hence not mainly pandering to domestic Islamic voters.

Indonesia is symptomatic of how isolated the US is in Global South now. It's more than over Iraq invasion or any other conflict in memory.

On implications for world order, note that on Ukraine, most of Global South voted with the US on principle of territorial integrity, hence supporting int law & 'rules based order'; on Gaza-Palestine, majority of Global South upholds int law and 'rules-based order' against the US position.

Who is the bigger upholders of rules? Why would a 'post-western' world be lawless, as establishment western pundits fear?

In the new @LRB, I wrote about how Israel has replaced much of Gaza with an uneven igneous landscape of black-grey mounds. https://t.co/qXSDb3Os7n

I first met #CynthiaEnloe in the 1990s. I could always point to her work and say to my grad students "of course you can study/research/write about (fill in the gender or feminist topic)." No need to say that now (well, I hope not). She again inspired in Geneva a few weeks ago!

In honor of the inauguration of the Enloe Doctoral Scholarship at @FletcherSchool, tag 3 feminist allies and tell us how #CynthiaEnloe has influenced you and your work!
