Thank you so much!

I like the sound of that class!

I can't access without an account. Could you send it over email or DM?

Hi, Academic Hive Mind. A friend of mine needs this article and apparently *no one* can access it through institutional access and now it has become my mission in life to find someone who does. Does anyone have access and if so can you send me a pdf? Thanks! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39706212/

Who could have predicted that the MAGA movement would end up split between the fascists that think they are not fascists and the fascists that will openly tell you they like Hitler. Who?

Oh wait.

Everyone else…

A Ugandan-American wins an election in New York, leading to a Peruvian in London to start singing an Indian song

I love the world being created here

Thank you this is very kind of you

I’m very happy to share that I will be teaching @lsehumanrights.bsky.social for one more year as my Fellowship has been extended until the end of the 2026/27 academic year

I am very privileged to work with this wonderful group of people and share a classroom with fantastic students

Not a single piece of Peruvian food was eaten there, even imaginary Peruvian food lol

YouTube video by Alonso Gurmendi Surprise, Surprise: Anti-IAGS Scholars got the Law Wrong

So... on Sunday Chat and I read the Statement by "Scholars for Truth About Genocide" and... yeesh. Apparently the standard is "can you think of any other explanation for Israel's attack on Gaza that is not genocide?" and you're done.

I had a blast talking about to my old friend and mentor Rob McLaughlin and the phenomenal @alonso-gd.bsky.social about why sinking random "drug" vessels is lawless AF

51. In this episode of Called to the Bar: International Law Over Drinks, host Dr Tamsin Phillipa Paige is joined by Professor Rob McLaughlin and Dr Alonso Gurmendi Dunkelberg to unpack a troubling event:

A US kinetic strike on a suspected drug boat, lawful self-defence or utterly lawless? (No prizes for guessing.) Join @pagingdrpaige.bsky.social, Rob McLaughlin & @alonso-gd.bsky.social on #CalledToTheBar as they unpack law & blurred lines in the “war on drugs/terror.” soundcloud.com/calledtotheb...

This is why even from a logical point of view, it is silly to argue non-state armed groups trigger the right to self defence. Aggression cant be transformed into self defence by the actions of a NSAG

State A invades State B - an act of aggression

B’s citizen’s form armed group B1 and attack A’s citizens, unlawfully

State A claims B1’s attacks are an armed attack that triggers its right to self defence in B’s territory. A claims it is therefore not an aggressor in B

YouTube video by Alonso Gurmendi No, Palpatine is not a Genocide Scholar: The IAGS Gaza Resolution Trolling Campaign

Yesterday Chat and I discussed the very stupid trolling campaign against @genocidescholars.bsky.social after it passed a Resolution determining that Gaza meets the definition of genocide.

This changed in 2023. Now most South American countries and Mexico have a “Ley de Derribo” - Shoot Down Law. They are all unlawful

While the US’ targeting of a Venezuelan boat is unprecedented, use of force against drug traffickers in LatAm isn’t. For decades now Latin states have adopted local laws to shoot down drug *planes*. The US had opposed this since it killed a baby in 2001 mistaking a missionary plane for a drug one

No but please do tell me all about the 6 thousand domestic laws the US is breaching. It’s not like we’re writing about *international law* right?? 😏

Every single overview of the US’ targeting of a narco-trafficking vessel on the high-seas in a Venezuelan ship omitting to point out that this is subject to the jurisdiction of the Inter-American Human Rights System (and what it’s case-law has said of this) is so very “Global Academia” :P

YouTube video by Alonso Gurmendi Debunking International Hasbara Law: The 1:1 Civilian to Combatant Ratio

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.

What is the Academic Consensus on the Gaza Genocide? YouTube video by Alonso Gurmendi

Check out @alonso-gd.bsky.social's summary of "The Academic Consensus on Gaza": www.youtube.com/watch?si=jOU... #genocide #genocidestudies

It's that time of the year again folks, get your nerd hat on

This reinforces my belief that the way to solve this whole thing is to put a booth in France and give each asylum seeker a stamped piece of paper with a queue number and the words “legal migrant” in it and a free ferry ticket

(FYI @jnascim.info @dbelemlopes.bsky.social @npto.bsky.social @lucasapaulino.bsky.social)

Seriously, UK?
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.

YouTube video by Alonso Gurmendi Why Brazil Intervening in South Africa's Case Against Israel is a Game-Changer

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

YouTube video by Alonso Gurmendi What is the Academic Consensus on the Gaza Genocide?

Academics have been saying there's a genocide in Gaza for months. What have they been saying and why have their arguments not been at all part of the conversation?
