Unfortunately a still relevant piece I wrote 17 (!) years after I wrote it on the invocation of the preemptive use of force doctrine in relation to Iran's uranium enrichment program. https://t.co/J5S9B8ZBWM
What does “Evacuate Tehran” even mean?
Tehran is home to 10 million human beings — it holds the country’s critical infrastructure, hospitals, government institutions, kindergartens, primary schools, universities, laboratories, homes, prisons, factories, industrial zones employing thousands of workers, markets, stores, bridges, roads, the impoverished, waste collectors, child laborers, street vendors, women who are the sole providers for their families, journalists, cafés, parks, and amusement centers.
Which of them are we meant to carry on our shoulders to save from death and devastation?
Do not destroy my city.
End this war.

I also discuss alternative governance structures and institutions on CMI that play an important role in the distribution of rights and duties, incl. voluntary cooperation arrangements, private law regimes, and increased securitization, surveillance & militarization of the seas.
Pre-print of a short new piece of mine on critical marine infrastructure (CMI) is up! I outline some of the international legal principles applicable to CMI generally, focusing on the Law of the Sea, laws applicable to CMI damage, and their limitations. https://t.co/kukJrxqEyx

Absolutely heartbreaking to watch my hometown burn from afar. 💔 Praying for everyone in LA.

My latest via @asilorg: "Both law & tech contribute to inequality and injustice and have long historical connections to imperialism and violence... Nevertheless, their effects are not pre-determined—law & tech are critical sites of political contestation." https://t.co/IQN0llVZzW
