Another stop in the non-intervention tour. In 1968, Wenceslas Square in Prague became a focal point of resistance against the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia. After the Prague Spring was suppressed, Brezhnev proclaimed his doctrine of limited sovereignty.

‘The Author’s conclusions are well-supported by a thorough analysis of relevant international practice and scholarly literature. These qualities make the work an essential resource for anyone seeking to grapple with these themes’ Thanks A. Annoni for reviewing my book for Riv. dir. internazionale!

Another stop on the #nonintervention tour. The Nyon Agreement was signed on 14 Sept 1937. Nyon was chosen to avoid association with the League of Nations, which was viewed unfavorably by Italy. The agreement addressed attacks on international shipping during the Spanish Civil War

Did you know that, although never formally recognised by the Catholic Church, the monarchs of France, Spain and Austria claimed a jus exclusivae, ie, the right to veto a particular candidate to the papacy? See Chap. 1 of my book #nonintervention #conclave

This looks a lot like economic coercion to me, prohibited by the principle of non-intervention (as codified in the UN Friendly Relations Declarations) and by Art. 3 of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Exclusive: US could cut Ukraine's access to Starlink internet services over minerals, say sources

Ukraine's access to SpaceX-owned Starlink was brought up in talks between U.S. and Ukrainian officials after Ukrainian President Zelenskiy turned down an initial proposal from U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent.

Communities uprooted. Families torn apart.
Vital infrastructure destroyed.

As conflicts escalate worldwide – from Gaza to Sudan, Myanmar to Ukraine – civilians are bearing the brunt.

Emerging threats – autonomous weapons, cyber warfare – are compounding the challenges.

The growing normalization of violations of international humanitarian law poses an existential threat to int'l law.

We invite states to step up to their responsibility, reverse this trend & join our global initiative to reinvigorate political commitment for #IHL.

If true, these threats can constitute an unlawful intervention in the domestic affairs of Denmark in the form of dictatorial coercion - whether they succees or not (more in my book: global.oup.com/academic/pro...) #greenland #trump #nonintervention #denmark www.ft.com/content/ace0...
