📕 London Book Launch. Wednesday 29 October at 5.30 at University of Westminster, Central London. Free attendance but registration required. Honoured to have David and Violeta on the panel. If you are London based or if serendipitously you find yourself in London, looking forward to seeing you.

Last day of work before some summer break. It's been an intense academic year. First draft of book manuscript finalised. Marking completed. Students advised. Sorry for any delay in coming back to you, I'll have an out-of-office and bad reception for some weeks!

In very sad days for people under occupations, today and tomorrow the Occupation Studies Research Network hosts its first annual conference at King's College. I'll chair a panel on law of occupation and present in one on occupation and self-determination. Programme fasos-research.nl/occupationst...

I mean, I don't like fact-specific statements (so open to double standards), but I won't ask for consistency with that awful precedent...

Admissibility decision in Ukraine v Russia is out! ECHR applies to hostilities between Ukraine and Russia and, in fact, goodbye to Georgia v Russia. A lot to unpack!
