The US has offered its "legal justification" for killing drug traffickers on the high seas. I put that in scare quotes because the argument is incoherent -- self-defence against non-state actors based on the "unwilling or unable" test. How is this wrong? Let's count the ways.

Violent Pullback in the making! People escaping #Libya are facing a forced return by the so-called #Libyan coastguard. We condemn this practice and #Frontex involvement. We demand that they are brought to Europe. Our solidarity is with the people on move and the crew of #Madleen!

Solidarity with all members of @RescueMed who face criminalisation in Italy for rescuing people at risk of drowning.
La GUP del Tribunale di Ragusa ha rinviato a giudizio 6 attivistə di Mediterranea per aver soccorso 27 persone bloccate da 38 giorni sulla petroliera Maersk Etienne. A questo attacco rispondiamo con i fatti: abbiamo una nuova nave grazie alla collaborazione con @seaeyeorg!

Grateful to @HertieCFR in Berlin for hosting this week a thought-provoking keynote discussion on the challenges faced by human rights defenders. The situation may be bleak, but there are more people now working for human rights than ever before, and therein lies the hope.
