Less than 1 % of the world’s population are international refugees, asylum seekers or displaced abroad by humanitarian crises (source: @unhrc.bsky.social and @washingtonpost.com) yet our societies project at them all our anger, bias, and xenophobic feelings.

I believe in the transformative potential of technology. I think that many of the methods, approaches & platforms can contribute to social benefit and prosperity. Scepticism about particular business models & dislike of particular individuals should not tip over into a rejection of this potential.

ECHR criticised and attacked in GB News and the Times again today.

I am not sure where Hague locates the existence of a “growing interest to rewrite the ECHR”, and trust he understands that the UK cannot do that unilaterally (unless it’s HRA he has in mind).

All this is another illustration of how int’l rule of law is perceived in Trump 2.0 era.

Prof Dimitrios Giannoulopoulos @dimitriosgian.bsky.social · Mar 17

As an illustration of the positive change that Trump will inevitably bring about in the thinking of governments in Britain and Western Europe, more specifically on immigration, Hague points out that there “is growing interest in rewriting the ECHR”. /3

Prof Dimitrios Giannoulopoulos @dimitriosgian.bsky.social · Mar 17

Also from Conservatives today: former leader, and newly appointed Chancellor at @ox.ac.uk, William Hague, explaining via @thetimes.com that “Trump’s effect may be positive”, and that centre-right and centre-left “can learn from him in some respects”. /2

Praise of Trump non-stop on @gbnewsonline.bsky.social tonight, with former Conservatives Chairman (w/ Liz Truss as PM) Sir Jake Berry attacking the #ECHR and Keir Starmer’s human rights credentials for stopping us acting in the same way.

Human Rights Education Review @hrer.bsky.social · Mar 6

A wonderful conference where contributors @aoifenolan.bsky.social Conor Gearty & Shami Chakrabarti & others discussed the power as well as vulnerabilities of human rights in providing protections at home and internationally

Virtually attending “Human Rights Under Pressure” symposium at Uni of Nottingham. @aoifenolan.bsky.social has spoken very passionately just now about how little attention we still give to poverty as a human right, as scholars and legal systems, and the urgency we need to have in changing course.

A v powerful keynote by Baroness Chakrabarti, in the “Human Rights Under Pressure” symposium. Taking her recently published book as point of departure, she presented an enlightened defence of human rights in the face of populism, nationalism, and rise of the right wing.
Admired her pragmatism too
