The US has offered its "legal justification" for killing drug traffickers on the high seas. I put that in scare quotes because the argument is incoherent -- self-defence against non-state actors based on the "unwilling or unable" test. How is this wrong? Let's count the ways.

Violent Pullback in the making! People escaping #Libya are facing a forced return by the so-called #Libyan coastguard. We condemn this practice and #Frontex involvement. We demand that they are brought to Europe. Our solidarity is with the people on move and the crew of #Madleen!

QMUL is being transformed by a 1000 cuts without a vision & without staff input --management only opening 'consultations' when it's too late & the only convo is about severance

Our uni deserves a strategy, and deserves staff treated with dignity. Vote in the consultative ballot

Riservatezza e “obbligo di fedeltà” sono alcune delle clausole che i dipendenti di Medihospes hanno dovuto sottoscrivere per poter lavorare.

Grateful to @HertieCFR in Berlin for hosting this week a thought-provoking keynote discussion on the challenges faced by human rights defenders. The situation may be bleak, but there are more people now working for human rights than ever before, and therein lies the hope.
