    I'm starting a new series of shorter video essays debunking widely disseminated views on int'l law to improve int'l law discourse online. The first in the series: why Israel's 1:1 civilian to combatant ratio claim is a myth. Let me know if you have ideas for future videos. youtu.be/bQFozvlimbk

Sorry I am not giving my personal and identifying data to a shady US private company subject to no regulations to feed the paranoia of 70 year-old British politicians who don't get how the internet works, you guys will need to wait till I am using this with a VPN to send me chats.

    New video: Yesterday I told Chat why I'm so excited about Brazil joining South Africa's ICJ case and how the legacy and work of Brazil's most famous international lawyer -Antônio Augusto Cançado Trindade- is sorely needed in today's discussion about genocidal intent
