Great to be at @ECPR in Thessaloniki! 🇬🇷
I had the pleasure of co-charing this panel on irregular #migration & #security with stellar colleagues @Daniela_1975, @marta_minetti, C. Finotelli & G. Echeverria
Thanks for the busy Q&A & thanks to @ECPR_Migration for the endorsement!
Only 341 to date!!? Please we need MANY more messages to this email address https://t.co/c8I74VDknM They can be in any language, from anyone, but we need a million POLITE messages for clemency! @Aafiamovement@FowziaSiddiqui@Moazzam_Begg@mariakari1414
PLEEEEASE! We are not at 6000 letters to the Pardons Attorney for Aafia. I want 50,000 by December 1. Get everyone you know to do it. It is her LIFE. https://t.co/c8I74VDknM @Aafiamovement@FowziaSiddiqui@Moazzam_Begg@mariakari1414
Delighted for our Law student, Esther, who's been selected (through a very competitive process) for a paid summer internship at the @uolreflawclinic alongside a student from @UCLLaws (and an external intern from @nyulaw).
Great RLC summer event also, open to all students & public
In summer term, our attention @GoldsmithsLaw turns from teaching to research (though we prioritise synergies betw the two all year long); thrilled to announce our annual human rights symposium & lecture, on May 17, on ‘Contemporary Challenges to Social and Economic/Labour Rights’
Prosecution says charges should be dropped as there‘re no evidences&no intention of commiting a crime.
We say the crime doesn‘t exist.
1 of endless differences between us.
To migrate, seek asylum&support people on the move are rights, not crimes. Unlawful is to let people die.
Thrilled to launch our Law & Policy Clinics for term 2 today, with legendary @CliveSSmith (on counter-terrorism and human rights) and our wonderful @marta_minetti!
Thrilled to see 60 students sign up to them, from Law but also other depts in our School of Culture & Society.
It is outlandish, spineless, just plain embarrassing and typical of illiberal democracies to be attacking ECtHR (as a foreign court) in a case your own Supreme Court decided.
PM is doing a great disservice to the UK’s int’l reputation as a country committed to rule of law.
#ECHR
A very warm welcome to new colleagues: Dr Dimitrios Kivotidis @BirkbeckLaw; @marta_minetti@RHUL_Law; Dr Nicole Pierce @DMULawSchool; and Dr Aristi Volou @QMSchoolofLaw. They're bringing to our dept dynamic expertise in int'l trade law, human rights, int'l & constitutional law.
A must read.
"With each death, we lose a significant portion of our humanity. If we get accustomed to these suffering and normalise them, it is because we lost sight of our own humanity and mortality." https://t.co/Fm76B0TIPP
"The (mass drowning) story is undoubtedly political as it involves immigration policy, various EU governments, and the conditions that drive people to take extraordinary risks… And yet much of the (media) coverage … fails to address these complexities"

On #RefugeeDay, it's hard to know what to say. Rising displacement, rising protection challenges, and ever-more human rights violations.
How many more deaths before something changes?
