Global Governance by Manual. I analyse this ubiquitous yet undertheorised technology of global governance, demonstrating its contribution to informal standardisation in the field of #transitional #justice through world making, ordering. https://t.co/VAdE9VG8V7

@mikaelmilhoj Jeg elsker programmet netop fordi medværterne er bramfri kombineret med vidende, erfarne og humoristiske.

350+ former EU ministers, ambassadors and senior officials call for suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement over Israel's systematic violations of international law in Gaza, West Bank incl. East Jerusalem, and Lebanon

@NC_Renic He is testing the limits of nationally bounded representative democracy in a world of global powers with massive reach and WMD. Millions of Iranians, Palestinians, etc. pay the price for S Carolina voters empowering him.

this discourse of innocence as an appeal to deservingness of rights must stop

The challenge of global governance is not local ownership but authorship, suspended in tension between global goals and national self-definition. 'Global Governance by Manual: The Transitional Justice Toolkit and the Standardization of a Field' https://t.co/xqV2mdhSUZ

The percentage of child dead in the Ukrainian conflict is 0.3%.
Zero point three per cent.

The percentage of child dead in the Gaza conflict is 37.7%.
Thirty seven point seven per cent.

In a single statistic, there you have the difference between a war and a genocide.

Multilateralism has never been an inspiring word. It is procedural, abstract, and emotionally thin. No one rallies under its banner, and no leader wins popularity by defending it. Yet for Africa, multilateralism has never been a luxury of orderly times or a matter of institutional aesthetics. It has been, repeatedly and painfully, a strategy of survival.

@MattPolProf Completely! There was a willingness to admit that African governments were instrumentalist and not genuine but also insistence that Western ditto were all for level playing fields and equality before the law.

This is big news for ICC researchers. So much for building an independent court.

UK admits a threatening phone call between Cameron & ICC’s Karim Khan took place to scare him into halting the israeli war crimes probe https://t.co/QSetGQtRpR

The @NobelPrize Committee confused peace and democracy. They are often linked, but they are not identical. You can war to pursue democratisation, but not to pursue peace. You can have authoritarian peace, but not authoritarian democracy.

Very happy to attend the Basel Peace Forum. Questions of world order loom large here too and speakers pursue issues of mediation in the wider (un)rule of law context.

@larsloekke Please listen to M Carney's speech again. Do we have or get too many of Havel's metaphorical signs in the window?

[Line Engbo Gissel @LineEngboGissel]

Peace processes never look pretty, always look messy. And when you wish for one side's victory, the compromise always feels like an affront, a violation. They only make sense if you focus on their purpose, ending war. That goal may even not feel higher, to those who are safe...

[Line Engbo Gissel @LineEngboGissel]

This is what impunity looks like. The anti-impunity brigade which built the ICC never could see this, thinking it was only to do with African warlordism and civil war.

Settlers are going from house to house, stealing whatever they like from Palestinian homes.

@roskildeuni is organising a free and open event about human rights in Denmark. Bring your human rights concerns to the official report by @DanishMFA to the Universal Periodic Review of DK by @UNHumanRights Council in Geneva https://t.co/wJNDePx2h5

As transitional justice is a global standard f addressing past & ongoing harms, it matters what gets included as an appropriate & relevant object of redress. New article:

"The BBC World Service has compiled material on over 160 cases where children have been shot in Gaza, and found that in 95 cases the child was shot in the head or the chest. In most of these cases the victim was under 12 years old"
