It was a real pleasure to co-edit this special issue of Res Publica (@springernature.com) with @drjoshdoeslaw.bsky.social, which celebrated and examined the intellectual legacy of the late Joseph Raz. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

This paper that the brilliant @mwewerinke.bsky.social and I coauthored for @iclq.bsky.social is probably my most significant piece of work on statehood and sea-level rise. Find it here, open access: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Coming out in Constitutional Studies early next year, @glexareen.bsky.social. I very much enjoyed reading and thinking about it.

Shameless self-promotion: I'm looking for people interested in reviewing my first monograph (international law, details below). Send me a DM or something. www.cambridge.org/core/books/s...

Whoever this was wanted to hang out with me so little they straight up deleted their post. 🤣 Solidly on brand for me.

Times of Israel: "Israel begins preemptive strike against Iran, defense minister says". It is illegal under international law even if one applies generous doctrine of "anticipatory self-defense". Such action only permitted against instant & overwhelming threat.

This is a great paper, and a really welcome addition to our special issue in honour of the late and great Joseph Raz.

Alma Diamond @almadiamond.bsky.social · Jun 12

Back from a social media break to share a new piece on the Raz-Hart debate. Thank you to so many who helped with this project, especially @glexareen.bsky.social and @drjoshdoeslaw.bsky.social. I'm working on a follow up, there's much more to say on all this.

The rabbits @lawatleeds.bsky.social were always cute. I vividly remember seeing peacocks at Jindal Global Lawschool too (noisy creatures). My all-time favourite university email has to have been while at HKU, however: the subject line was just, "Warning: Do not approach the boar."

What makes the biggest impression on you when you visit a university campus? For me, it's the animals that live there. At @uoy-yorklawschool.bsky.social, seeing the ducks and geese was always great. Today at CUHK, I crossed campus with some macaques and had a staring match with a mantis.

At the barbers recently, I was complaining mildly about the increase in body hair that comes with getting that bit older. Hero that he is, the guy shakes his head sadly, puts a reassuring hand on my shoulder, looks me dead in the eye, and says, "Don't worry, it grows on you."

I had fun, and screamed a little, on this ep of #CalledToTheBar talking with @drnajimagi.bsky.social and @djag2.bsky.social about how most people who dabble in piracy law absolutely lose all capacity for rational thought

Might we finally see ink on a UK/Mauritius treaty to restore the Chagos Archipelago to Mauritius?

Progress on this has seemed like some Xeno's paradox of negotiations, where the parties keep closing half the distance between them without ever reaching a deal ...

UK to sign Chagos deal with Mauritius

The US and UK will maintain a key military base on the island for 99 years, under the multi-billion pound deal.

🚨🚨 New Paper Alert 🚨🚨
Something a bit different from me this time. I've written about the legal philosophy of #RichardWagner for the German Law Journal - a jurisprudence of ambiguity and complexity. Paper out in due course: SSRN preprint below.
