In 2018, 25 young people with the support of NGO Dejusticia took the Colombian government to court arguing that their right to a healthy environment was under threat from deforestation. They won, in an judgment that went further than they could have hoped. But did the court ruling change anything?

To me, the release sends a worrying signal of the politicisation of foreign aid, exemplified by the abrupt dismantling of US aid workers and projects. But I welcome those who have researched this to share further.

Den Schwangerschaftsabbruch entkriminalisieren
Der Schwangeren hilft es nicht, wenn sie mit Gefängnis bedroht wird. Karlsruhe kann eine Pflicht zur Kriminalisierung von Schwangeren mit guten Gründen verneinen.

Wie wirksam ist das humanitäre #Völkerrecht gegen Kriegsverbrechen? Unsere neue Podcastfolge mit Wolfgang Kaleck @ecchr.bsky.social, @raphaelschaefer.de und @heikekrieger.bsky.social. Moderiert von @sarahzerback.bsky.social, produziert von @hauseins.bsky.social. Jetzt auf @bpb.de: bpb.de/557258
Zitat von Wolfgang Kaleck (Menschenrechtsanwalt): "Das humanitäre Völkerrecht ist nicht humanitär, weil es die Zivilbevölkerung nicht angemessen schützt. Das kann man in allen kriegerischen Konflikten der letzten Jahre sehen."

Starting next week, the @CIJ_ICJ will hold a two-week hearing in the climate change advisory proceedings. Today the #ICJ met with the scientists who have authored various Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( #IPCC ) reports. I find this unusual and very odd. 🧵

Within 24 hours, German politicians have made clear that “international” standards don’t really apply here – and that renowned artists should keep their mouths shut – when it comes to Israel. Just a breathtaking display of politicised signorance.

This is so true, Silvia casually introduced me to probably every legal academic I‘ve ever fangirled over including several Constitutional Court judges

I am also someone with ZERO shame from a prestigious institution so if you come to me and ask me "hey, do you know senior scholar X?" or the usual "uhhh do you see X there talking to Y, i never met them" there is a moderate chance that I know them and will just grab you and introduce you 😂
