Denkbar ungünstigster Zeitpunkt für Deutschland, die Zusammenarbeit mit zivilgesellschaftlichen Organisationen weltweit aufs Spiel zu setzen 👇

The worst thing progressives can do now is waste a year on the “is it economics or is it identity?” debate, like we did 8 years ago. Under racial capitalism, economics and identity aren’t neatly separable in the way people make sense of the world.

Es gehört schon ein gewisses Level an Psychopathie dazu zu denken jemand dessen halbe Familie durch israelische Bombardierung mit einem Schlag einfach ausgelöscht wurde, hasst den israelischen Staat weil er eigentlich ein Problem mit Juden hat

The situation in #Germany remains deeply concerning: Activists, scholars, artists and UN representatives face attacks and smear campaigns for raising their voices. Media and politicians need to act responsibly. #Germany is an EU member state, and as such, we expect it to uphold..

In Deutschland wird nicht wegen Völkermord ermitteln, sondern wegen Völkermordvorwurf.

Greetings from Germany. It is a sunny day and we will continue to make it bright. Remember: "hope is a discipline" (cit).

Ich habe mir heute die 2,5h mit Francesca Albanese an der LMU (online) angeschaut: nichts, wirklich gar nichts was sie dabei sagt, widerspricht der FDGO. Der politische Eingriff in die Wissenschaftsfreiheit Berliner Universitäten ist so unwürdig.

📰Khaled El Mahmoud argues that the silence surrounding the suppression of #AcademicFreedom in #Germany raises urgent and fundamental questions. He asks: What responsibilities do academics and institutions bear in times of grave #Humanitarian & #LegalCrises? voelkerrechtsblog.org/special-editor…

„If academic institutions, once considered bastions of free thought and intellectual courage, choose to silence critical voices rather than defend them, then the very essence of democracy is at stake.“

"The silence, or worse, the tacit endorsement, of today’s institutions in the face of political coercion suggests that the lessons of the past are being dangerously disregarded." ❗️Timely editorial by Khaled El Mahmoud for Völkerrechtsblog❗️

👇👇👇 Statement by international lawyers, ESIL members and ESIL IG convenors on the very troubling decision by FU to curtail academic freedom in light of the forthcoming ESIL Annual Conference in Berlin. The letter remains open for signature.

As Black History Month ends, mostly unnoticed in #Germany, I spoke to Dr. Elisabeth Kaneza | Blog & Archive why this matters. It is more urgent than ever to keep this conversation alive. History doesn’t disappear just because we refuse to face it. #decolonization

My essay on the Hague Academy's centenary is available at EJIL. It's about order in and through law - from the invention of a 'Grotian' international order to the 'rules-based international order' and the hypocrisies that come with it academic.oup.com/ejil/advance-a…
