"If you can't even get your foot in the door to have the executive branch justify the reason that they've designated you as a terrorist, as an enemy, before they ship you out, then absolutely—we are in 1973 Chile." www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiBg...

Una buena semana para conversar y reflexionar sobre la vigencia —y crisis, por cierto— del proyecto universal de los derechos humanos.

Cartagena +40 | ACNUR

(ii) Ya que estamos en esto, un comentario final: mañana se conmemoran

* 76 años de la Declaración Universal de los DDHH
* 40 años de la Convención contra la Tortura www.ohchr.org/en/treaty-bo... y
* 40 años de la Declaración de Cartagena sobre los Refugiados www.acnur.org/cartagena40

Capítulos que tratan sobre temas en principio no relacionados con los derechos humanos —e.g., corrupción— tienden a volcarse hacia el sistema interamericano. ¿Es eso bueno o malo? ¿Es un síntoma de la hipertrofia del lenguaje de los ddhh?

Algunos comentarios adicionales que pueden ser de interés: i) si bien el libraco que saldrá el próximo año trata del "derecho internacional" en general, la conversación tendió a girar hacia el sistema interamericano de derechos humanos. Según explicó Huneeus, esto se ve tb en el libro.

Nos pasamos más de dos horas conversando sobre derecho internacional latinoamericano. Gracias al @cdhuchile.bsky.social por la invitación y a Alex Huneeus por co-empujar este tremendo proyecto global.oup.com/academic/pro...

¡No era reto, estimado!

Ud. no lo diga! Es "el" Comité de DDHH, no "un comité". Es como decir "una Corte Interamericana de DDHH" o "una Corte Internacional de Justicia".

Y a lo importante, bueno verlo por acá, señor 👍🏽

“Lear's tragedy is rooted . . . in his effort to align his private and public selves, his identity as loving father and royal sovereign"

– Paul Kahn, Law & Love

In honor of Jimi Hendrix, who would have turned 82 today, I wrote something for PBS about his incredible sense of style. He helped define not only the sound but also the look of a countercultural movement.

This summer, a French court of appeal upheld a French arrest warrant for Bashar al-Assad.
That warrant does not even have the imprimatur of an int'l court (the key factor in ICC holdings that its warrants for Putin & al-Bashir override status immuties): www.justiceinitiative.org/newsroom/fre...

The @ajil.bsky.social webinar that I hosted on the nuclear threat is now available online. It's worth a listen.

(Alas, by the end, the sun had set, and I was standing in the dark -- not great for production values but adequately reflective of the mood.)
