Die Ausladung von Nancy Fraser ist nicht nur ein Zeichen von Unfähigkeit (dass sie im November einen überall diskutierten Brief unterschrieben hat, habe @univer erst jetzt gemerkt, nachdem man zu ihrer Vorlesung eingeladen hatte), sondern ein Skandal. 1/

The Spanish amnesty for the Catalan independence movement is a victory for the rule of law - it is a way for Spain to comply with its obligations under European and international human rights law, Neus Torbisco Casals🎗 and I argue Verfassungsblog today. verfassungsblog.de/the-spanish-am…

The Spanish Congress has just passed the amnesty law for Catalonia. This creates space for a political solution of the conflict and decriminalizes many acts that, under international human rights law, should never have been crimnalized in the first place.

The need for EU-wide legislation leaves businesses negotiating a fragmented legal landscape. The #CSDDD avoids a lot of unnecessary confusion.

The EU failing to agree on the Corporate Due Diligence Directive #CSDDD is a deplorable setback for corporate accountability. It shows the hypocrisy of preaching human rights to the world but not insist on respect for them by one's own companies. European Coalition for Corporate Justice corporatejustice.org/news/reaction-…

In this episode of What Matters Today Geneva Graduate Institute I unpack last month's CIJ_ICJ order in the case brought by South Africa v Israel over Gaza. Bottom line: a vague order, and a month on, little change on the ground - but some change in public discourse.
