The "Guantanamo model" for Greenland: U.S. gets complete jurisdiction, Denmark keeps sovereignty on paper.
MPIL's @annepetersmpil.bsky.social explains what Trump's "framework" actually means—and why NATO can't sign it.
Watch (DE): youtu.be/SfOVMeb9VHE?...
“Purchase” or “lease” of Greenland does not fit into (post-)modern international law, as @annepetersmpil.bsky.social stresses – what matters is Greenland’s right to self-determination, not Trump’s dealmaking.

COVID mink culls: 23M animals eliminated. No debate. No legal voice.
@annepetersmpil.bsky.social asks: What if animals had rights—not just welfare rules? Courts in Ecuador, Colombia, India are testing this.

#GlobalAnimalLaw #AnnePeters
Quote from our published article by author Anne Peters: "On the way towards the utopia of taking animals out of the market logic, the shift-of-focus of the existing agricultural exceptionalism in international trade law would be one small step."
Agriculture has been routinely protected from trade liberalisation.
When it comes to trade in meat, ANNE PETERS (@annepetersmpil.bsky.social) argues, such protectionism deserves to be strengthened for the sake of animal welfare.

Dear young colleagues! this was the most moving moment in my professional life. Thank you for the journey of shared learning.
My dear students, or rather young colleagues! This was the most moving moment of my scholarly life. I am incredibly grateful for the continuing joint learning experience. Thank for all what you give.
