I am very glad to be able to share my preliminary remarks on a side project I really loved working on: "Capitalism as Juridical Creed: The Uneasy Relationship of the Tangier Mixed Court with PIL". It was such an exciting conference on the centenary of the Tangier Zone Statute! Congrats to all speakers and conveners!
I am delighted to share with you that my article entitled "The #Greek Civil War and #Genocide by Forcible Transfer of #Children" (Art. II e of the Genocide Convention) has now been published by the Journal of Genocide Research.

In this final contribution, I try to provide an outro to our #symposium on #classism in the various #PIL communities. I draw, among others, from #Pashukanis, #Poulantzas, #bellhooks, Bowring & Knox to suggest 3 non-revolutionary tactics against classism. I am immensely grateful to Mohsen Alattar & @Chris4short
for their comments. #internationallaw @PIL @icymi_law

I recently published a review essay on A.C. Emilianides's work on #genocide, see https://ssrn.com/abstract=4250359. Today, I found out that his primary bibliographical source, Axis Rule, was sent by #RaphelLemkin himself through A. Kyrou, Greece's Perm Representative to the UN. Two important scholars crossings paths... That's why I love archives. #histodon #internationallaw #internationalcriminallaw #PIL #ICL #GenocideConvention #archives #publication
🔴📖🥳My critical take on the laws of #humanity &the concept of #Crimesagainsthumanity in the work of the 1919 Commission on Responsibilities is finally out! It includes archival research & timidly challenges the prevailing narrative re CAHs/ #genocide & post #WW1 #internationalcriminallaw projects. https://ssrn.com/abstract=4271554

I have served as a national expert (ICL & restorative justice) to the Inter-Party Parliamentary Committee on WW2 Reparations.
#Belgium will reportedly adopt #ecocide in its penal code. Not sure how the crime will be structured but this is an interesting development. https://www.rtbf.be/article/lecocide-et-lincitation-au-suicide-devraient-faire-leur-entree-dans-le-code-penal-belge-11098753
