The return of krls.eth / Carles Puigdemont 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. nytimes.com/2024/08/08/wor…

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.

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." politico.eu/article/carles…

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 IHEID Law and HLS Program on Int’l Law & Armed Conflict and co-organized by Patryk I Labuda and David Hughes. Please send your abstracts by 15 October!

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).

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

A great discussion of the CIJ_ICJ AO on Palestine with (for once) Palestinian voices: Ardi Imseis, Nimer Sultany and Diana Buttu, expertly hosted by Nehal Bhuta. Listen in!

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). aquiescencia.net/2024/09/24/ori…

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 Geneva Graduate Institute IHEID Law.

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).

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.

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 linkedin.com/in/nico-krisch…. Or, the very traditional way, in Geneva.
