The article is part of a SI on allyship in diversity which will be coming out soon!/7

Europe needs to listen contrapuntally to the histories of its 'others' and it needs to reckon with its colonial past, otherwise it risks to take down the international law based order which is seriously harmed by the EU. /6

Through a discourse analysis, it explains that Russia, Ukraine & Israel figure in a Eurocentric relation to Europe, while Palestine is dispossessed of its history, not set into any relationship to Europe and figures as a partially rights-less subject in official EU discourse. /5

Empirics: The article documents 1) grave violations of int law as asserted by UNSC, UNGA, ICC, ICJ in Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Palestine & 2) if/how the EU has sought accountability for such violations and finds patterned discrepancies at the expense of Palestine. /4

Theory: the literature has explained organized hypocrisy by a logic of consequentiality/appropriateness but has omitted a third logic: the logic of coloniality which features a radical absence of the other on their own normative terms & as a rights-bearing subject. /3

How can we explain the organized nature of EU hypocrisy vis-a-vis grave violations of international law by Russia in Ukraine and by Israel in Palestine? The articles inquires into this in three parts. /2

I have begun writing this article in early 2023, it is finally out with @JCMS_EU: "Organized Hypocrisy and the Logic of Coloniality. Explaining the EU's Divergent Response to Grave Violations of International Law in Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Palestine" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author... /1

Der Staatsräson-Irrsinn wird in Berlin mittlerweile so weit getrieben, dass Polizei und Verfassungsschutz eine Veranstaltung in den Räumen einer Zeitung überwachen, um mögliche strafbare Aussagen einer UN-Sonderberichtserstatterin zu unterbinden. Dunkle Zeiten.

They didn’t “lose their lives”, they were killed! Get your wording right @eudiplomacy.bsky.social @kajakallas.bsky.social
