Over the heads of the audience, you can see Sally Ghattas standing and speaking. In the background is her presentation projected on a screen on the wall.

Sally Ghattas (University of Sydney) joined us for a lunch talk @prif.org on Australia's genocide discourse & Aboriginal politics, with comments by @dirkmoses.bsky.social.

Both co-authored TraCe Working Paper No. 4, together with Sabine Mannitz & NΓΊrel Reitz: www.trace-center.de/fileadmin/Da...

I don’t think so but it was a very tame discussion befitting the location. Everyone was very nice. The films beginning the event were the highlight.

I’ve just published this comparison of the Vietnam and Gaza genocide debates. The former frames the latter. But the #ICJ has ways to escape the frame if it’s willing to think outside the box link.springer.com/article/10.1...

πŸ“’ For those in Bremen, join us!

Thursday 10th 5pm UniGW2

At a time when even mentioning the word genocide in an academic discussion immediately creates tension, I can't help but emphasize how important this opportunity is.

Big thanks to @dirkmoses.bsky.social

Please share it with your students πŸ™Œ

I explain here how genocide in law was distinguished from genocidal warfare so that states could more easily engage in the latter. Thanks to my Oslo hosts for the invitation and opportunity

The New Politics Of Territorial Expansion | NOEMA β€œNever again” and the β€œresponsibility to protect” now license forcible territorial annexation.

"Like Israel, Rwanda embraces post-genocide politics + deploys hum intervention rhetoric to justify protection of members of same ethnic community in its β€œnear abroad,” thereby recruiting a central element of postwar order’s moral legitimation: genocide prevention."
