Some time in the works, The Many Paths of Change in International Law, edited with @ezgiyyildiz, has just come out. It's become a really nice volume, just the right read for rainy November days (sunny ones as well). And it will be open access!

As X is no longer aligned with the values of fair and free speech I identify with, I will in the future engage elsewhere. If you want to find me, please do so on Bluesky @nicokrisch.bsky.social or Or, the very traditional way, in Geneva.

Excited to moderate at the launch of the Abi-Saab Foundation tonight. Georges Abi-Saab's course on UN Law was probably the best course I had during my law studies, and his work has been an inspiration ever since. The Foundation will help to takes his commitments into the future.

The UK agrees to hand over sovereignty over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. Remarkable after so many had thought this impossible - and a sign that international law and the @CIJ_ICJ do matter (sometimes).

Last night, Judge Hilary Charlesworth painted the @CIJ_ICJ as a potential weapon of the weak if embedded in a tapestry of supportive actors and norms. A fascinating lecture, and I was lucky to be able to engage with her about it afterwards @GVAGrad @GVAGrad_Law.

With Oriol Casanovas i la Rosa, a deep scholar and thinker about international law has left us. With his warmth and curiosity, he always created an inspiring space in Barcelona for me and many others. May he rest in peace (and his work live on).

A great discussion of the @CIJ_ICJ AO on Palestine with (for once) Palestinian voices: @ArdiImseis, @NimerSultany and @dianabuttu, expertly hosted by Nehal Bhuta. Listen in!

Eine hochinteressante Nachzeichnung der Geschichte des @MPILheidelberg und dabei auch der Geschichte des Völkerrechts in und um Deutschland nach dem Kalten Krieg, voll mit Einsichten (und schönen Anekdoten).

A few further explanations on the complaint we brought to the ECtHR over the failure of Spanish judges and police to investigate into the terrorist attacks of 17 August 2017 (in Catalan).

Double standards are everywhere in int'l politics and they are corrosive for int'l law. In May 2025 we'll hold an exciting workshop on this in Geneva, co-hosted by @GVAGrad_Law and @HLSPILAC and co-organized by @pilabuda and David Hughes. Please send your abstracts by 15 October!

RT @charlesbroger: 📨Two weeks left to submit abstracts for the upcoming Barcelona Workshop on Global Governance. Don't miss out! For all…

We bring the case in the name of @JavierM21161125. His 3-year old son Xavi was tragically killed in the attack. They have the right to know the truth. Many thanks to @achehtman1 #AgustíCarles @casals_neus and @JACS_JaumeACS for the collaboration.

Portem el cas en nom de @JavierM21161125. El seu fill Xavi, de 3 anys, va morir tràgicament en el atemptat. Tenen dret a conèixer la veritat. Moltes gràcies a @achehtman1 #AgustíCarles @casals_neus i @JACS_JaumeACS per col·laborar en la preparació.

RT @GVAGrad_Law: For our International Law Colloquium this fall, we have a stellar programme of scholars discussing work in progress, inclu…

Deeply honoured to be able to defend, with @achehtman1 and @JACS_JaumeACS and his team, the cause of the right to truth for the victims of the terrorist attack in Barcelona seven years ago #17A, for which @JavierM21161125 has been fighting for long.

Molt honorat de defensar, amb @achehtman1 i l'equip de @JACS_JaumeACS, una causa justa i important, la causa del dret a la veritat de les victimes del #17A per la que tant ha lluitat @JavierM21161125. #17avolemsaberlaveritat

Spanish judges performed a "hybrid coup", says @krls @POLITICOEurope. "For an Amnesty Law not to be able to grant amnesty would be absurd anywhere in Europe, and yet, that’s exactly what’s happening in Spain."

International tax justice has been ignored for too long. The UN General Assembly has today made an important step towards a #UNTaxConvention. Northern countries should join the movement, rather than abstain or reject, as most of them did.

The return of @KRLS from exile would be cause for celebration if he were not threatened by an arbitrary arrest warrant issued in defiance of an amnesty law and condemnation of the repression by intl human rights bodies. This is not the rule of law.
