The #G20 issued the 30-page Johannesburg declaration, with world leaders pressing on without the US. It shows that the format of the international #summit is alive and well, even in the age of #Trump. via @thenewworldmag.bsky.social www.thenewworld.co.uk/rashmee-rosh...

Three great reads on how to think about justice for crimes against humanity. #nuremberg #thisweekthosebooks

Nuremberg is back but what have we learnt?
The 'carpenter of war crimes tribunals'. A novel set in The Hague court. And just how ordinary were the Nazis?

Hey @sreenet.bsky.social, it was lovely to watch your interview with Zohran Mamdani when he was a largely unknown candidate for the NY State Assembly (He looks so different, carefree, hippie-like even, though I guess that’s because it was 5 years ago and he was 29!) open.substack.com/pub/sreenet/...

#nuremberg #justice #thisweekthosebooks featuring David Scheffer, "carpenter of war crimes tribunals", Katie Kitamura’s novel set in a Hague court and Jack El-Hai’s book that inspired the movie. (tbh, the book is more nuanced!)

via @thenewworldmag.bsky.social : #COP30's difficult ending and the #G20's troubled start does not mean the international summit is dead. By 1955, Churchill's coinage of “summit" as a term for a high-level parley, was picked up by the US State Department.

#thisweekthosebooks got a mention in @thenewworldmag.bsky.social. We wrote about 4 books on international summits, a format that seems increasingly irrelevant in the age of #Trump, 75 years since Churchill suggested “summit” as a term for high-level diplomacy www.thenewworld.co.uk/rashmee-rosh...

My @thenewworldmag.bsky.social piece as the #G20 gathers in South Africa without the #US. The Everest of diplomacy. How did this format of international talks get the badge of 'summit' and which four books tell us what we need to know www.thenewworld.co.uk/rashmee-rosh...

It’s a bad moment to have Carlo Masala's slim book in your hands. The professor asks what if there isn’t a happily ever after? What if #Russia wins? What if it takes victory in #Ukraine as an encouraging signal for greater ambitions in the Baltic states? www.rashmee.com/scary-to-rea...
