Abstract painting "Collision" (2022) by Ismail Noh, characterized by expressive brushwork and a dynamic color palette of blues, oranges, yellows, and blacks. The composition suggests fluid motion and energetic interaction between forms, with sweeping gestural marks creating visual tension and movement throughout the canvas.

Agriculture has been routinely protected from trade liberalisation.

When it comes to trade in meat, ANNE PETERS (@annepetersmpil.bsky.social) argues, such protectionism deserves to be strengthened for the sake of animal welfare.

verfassungsblog.de/internationa...
Quote from our published article by author Anne Peters: "On the way towards the utopia of taking animals out of the market logic, the shift-of-focus of the existing agricultural exceptionalism in international trade law would be one small step."
