Check out my new co-authored piece on @justsecurity.org
In it, we discuss how crises can be catalysts for change in international law.
Join us for @abilaofficial.bsky.social International Law Weekend in NYC this weekend to explore this theme in more detail.
#ILW2025
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
This is cruel. Children will die because they can’t get the treatment they need.
This SCOTUS doesn’t care about the American people.
Check out this excellent thread from @eliothiggins.bsky.social on what misinformation is, the dangers it poses and how empowered citizens and critical thinking are vital to democracy.
🚨 Call for papers!
Please consider submitting a proposal for our Emerging Voices Panel at @abilaofficial.bsky.social International Law Weekend 2025. This is a great opportunity to present before a prominent international law audience + get feedback from experienced scholars.
Deadline = July 6
Being involved with the creation of the #Iran Digital Archive Coalition and working with these incredible partners has been a career highlight. Each of us cares deeply about #accountability for #humanrights violations and #crimesagainsthumanity in Iran
From Feb 20-21, 2026, ABILA and the International & Comparative Law Program at UCLA School of Law hosted International Law Weekend – West. The theme of the conference was New Frontiers, Evolving Rules: The Future of International Law. A huge thanks to @jesspeake.bsky.social for ILW West's success!
The UN Fact-Finding Mission on #Iran is doing incredible work to document #crimesagainsthumanity and #humanrights violations committed by the Islamic Republic. The Iran Digital Archive Coalition is proud to assist by providing #digitalevidence.
I am excited to co-chair International Law Weekend again this year! Stay tuned for the call for proposals. #ILW2026
