How are state actors in the Global South helping to shape international legal obligations around the global arms trade? Pleased to share this new piece exploring the topic in @opiniojuris.bsky.social - written with my wonderful colleague @shahdhm.bsky.social.

Israel and US have a line in burning books and bombing bookstores.
New open access publication in the Business and Human Rights Journal that examines the catastrophic disregard for international legal obligations to end the arms trade with Israel.

“We hereby accuse top UK officials of complicity in the genocide in Gaza. They lied, manipulated the law, denied the reality on the ground, and prosecuted those who spoke truth to power." @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social @shahdhm.bsky.social #GazaTribunal www.thenational.scot/news/2593801...
This is exactly right. Israeli security apparatus has been humiliated in Khiyam. They need to reinforce their masculinity through as much death and devastation as they can.
Poster for webinar on coercion.
As the U.S. uses sanctions and tariffs against those who seek to hold Israel accountable for genocide, @shahdhm.bsky.social and I have organised this panel on economic and physical coercion with an excellent group of speakers: twailr.com/webinar-geno...
Exactly, this obsession with Hitler is the epitome of colonial erasure and denial of current reality. It also dismisses key lessons we have learned about collective crime - the present criminal reality of a live streamed genocide should have been a moment where the BBC learnt better.
You accept the peace plan or 'we finish the job' - why are we not talking about physical and economic coercion in the age of genocide? join the discussion this Wendesday. twailr.com/webinar-geno...
Again ignorant reporting by @BBC. Hamas's response didn't include omissions - it simply referred to international law when addressing the illegal aspects of the proposal. Review here: www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...
