@philcraig2 Def reading this. 1st thoughts: “intl law” is just power politics & voluntary state agreements; there is no overarching legal order above states. So, it lacks a sovereign law‑giver and coercive enforcement. Why appeal to a fiction?

[Phil Craig @philcraig2]

Last week I published a major paper on the law around self-determination and its application in the South African constitutional framework

Its essence is that when it comes to self-determination, the Constitution is subordinate to international law, and communities wishing to legitimately assert their right to self-determination must be accommodated by the South African State

This has far-reaching consequences, including in the fight for devolved policing powers in the Western Cape, control of single-medium schools, and fiscal autonomy

No community can be prevented from acting in its own best interest, by the national majority, providing that in doing so, it does not infringe upon the rights of others

If you would like a copy of the paper you can download it in the links in the comments, via the CIAG website, or via @SSRN/@ResearchGate

Constructive debate and feedback will be welcomed

@SkyeZedA Still not a reason to give the state, let alone a corrupt and racialised state, the right over life and death to that extent. The golden rule is: Think what your political enemy can do with that power.

[Martin van Staden @Martin_ASFL]

This is good news.

34 might even be on the too short side.

Law is codified violence, and if you accept that it can be "made", should be made extremely rarely.

Parliament should primarily represent the people, not tie them up in legalistic red tape.

I hate to break it to you guys, but it’s literally just a game.

If your team losing a game of sports has a meaningful negative impact on your life, or causes you deep concern about societal conflict, then I would be very worried about your life priorities.

[Andreas de Montaigne @PartisanoXP]

@Xtopher_Uzo Beautifully said.

@HistoricalRook Account name should change to read Today in Heretical History, or Protestant History .

@JacoKleynhans St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre was 450 years ago on another continent yet here comes the Afrikaner Prot grievance industry dusting off the ancestral victimhood . But complexities of history( apartheid-era church support)receive less attention... Please point to where it hurts you.

There are only three entities in South Africa with true rebel potential

The Afrikaners, the Zulu, and the Cape

The latter has a narrow window that it may well miss, though the formula is simple.

The former merely has to marshall resources within existing insitutions.

The Zulu must engineer new forms of social organisation, but benefit from a form of social centralisation which could accelerate the process if Royal assent is given.

Any of these could create conditions for the renegotiation of the entire Constitutional order, by threatening its dissolution.

The alternative is managed decline and looting for the benefit of existing wealthy corporations and individuals, and the eventual succession of just two of these parties - the Zulu and the Afrikaner, amid a sea of chaos, poverty and organised crime.

Timelines are difficult to determine, but it is within the next 10-15 years that these questions must be settled.

@DVanLangenhove Rhodesia was the first example and warning, South Africa is the second great warning.

@MattWalshBlog Sounds like you would love living in a country Muslim fundamentalist country where they have Sharia, and where the concept of human rights don't exist and where the government is trusted with the power to execute citizens.

[Andreas de Montaigne @PartisanoXP]

@AncapAir Yet there are countries where immigrants are encouraged because politicians want their votes, to engineer the society that gives them more power.

I don't think anyone who's ever said "I'll have to check that out" has in fact gone and checked that out

I dont under how people work in an office with all the endless small talk. it's like an asylum of amiability
