See my opinion for @LowyInstitute: “Abandoning the rules-based order is no solution”—part response to @samuelmoyn @tparsi piece repeating narrative that “RBO” is contrary to “international law”. The relationship between concepts is more politically complex

@kevinjonheller But use of term “ally” seems intended to maintain the (legally untenable) policy of supporting ICC jurisdiction over 🇷🇺 but not 🇮🇱: “…oppose any ICC actions against the United States, Israel, or any other *ally* of the United States that has not consented to ICC jurisdiction”

“Int. lawyers present a version of the rules that leaves national leaders free to pursue lawless policies while claiming to be law-abiding…better thin law than no law at all. The strategy has backfired. Trump cares little for any law that might restrain him, even minimally.”

@GBettiza @david_g_lewis @IntlStudiesRev Only just getting to this fantastic paper now, in the context of researching the relationship between 'civilizational' claims and international law--so good that I'm experiencing that academic paradox of having highlighted everything and thus nothing!

Yet another version of the ‘Democratic Exception’ to ICC Jurisdiction in yesterday’s White House statement imposing renewed US sanctions against the court. My recent article on the political trend linked below.

Trump would deserve credit…if he actually returned to an “America First” foreign policy that meant one not distracted by interventionist global moralising…🤔 “Trump says he will cut off funding to #SouthAfrica over land ‘confiscations’”

Netanyahu’s own words contradict claims that ferocity of Gaza War was self defence under international law - aim was always illegal annexation of Palestine/Israeli expansion: “our soldiers have redrawn the map…with Pres. Trump, we can redraw it even further and for the better”
I’m leaving for a very important meeting with @realDonaldTrump in Washington. The fact that this would be President Trump’s first meeting with a foreign leader since his inauguration is telling. I think it’s a testimony to the strength of the Israeli-American alliance. It’s also a testimony to the strength of our personal friendship. That friendship and that cooperation has already yielded important results for Israel and the Middle East, including the historic Abraham Accords that President Trump led and which brought four historic peace treaties between Israel and its Arab neighbors. In this meeting we’ll deal with important issues, critical issues facing Israel and our region: victory over Hamas, achieving the release of all our hostages and dealing with the Iranian terror axis in all its components—an axis that threatens the peace of Israel, the Middle East and the entire world. The decisions we made in the war have already changed the face of the Middle East. Our decisions and the courage of our soldiers have redrawn the map. But I believe that working closely with President Trump, we can redraw it even further and for the better. I believe that we can strengthen security, broaden the circle of peace and achieve a remarkable era of peace through strength.

Sec. Marco Rubio: “it’s not normal for the world to simply have a unipolar power…that was an anomaly. It was a product of the end of the Cold War…eventually you were going to reach back to a point where you had a multipolar world, multi-great powers”

Thanks, I hope the piece added a useful perspective - written because the @QuincyInst Better Order Project is important, but its practical impact could be enhanced by taking account of the competing narratives circulating for some years across national and transnational lines

@leckie_cameron On your terms, there is no international legal basis in the UN Charter System for Russia to use military force in Ukraine. Putin repeatedly cites the term “international law”, but even allies such as China do not accept that the war is legal:
