In the Desert - Stephen Crane
poetryfoundation.org/poems/4…
ALT In the Desert BY STEPHEN CRANE In the desert I saw a creature, naked, bestial, Who, squatting upon the ground, Held his heart in his hands, And ate of it. I said, “Is it good, friend?” “It is bitter—bitter,” he answered; “But I like it “Because it is bitter, “And because it is my heart.”
For Armistice Day, I am reading the war poems of Richard Aldington. One moved me so much and made me think of the young Palestinian in the news today who was killed for simply being in a place he's known all his life. "Could not our fate have been more merciful?"

Maybe it's because I am a lawyer, but I don't think the average person understands how difficult it is to successfully secure a conviction for rape in almost every country in the world. It's easier to secure a conviction for murder than rape, believe me.

It's still completely insane that NDAs are routinely used to gag victims of sexual assault like this. Everyone knows that NDAs are abused to gag survivors, and yet successive governments have done nothing to curtail this horrific practice. It would be easy to make this illegal!

Your reminder that Gaza had functioning drainage, sewerage and water treatment systems before Israel systematically destroyed them.
And homes.
Rather than resign, @hannahyeoh can do something actually useful, such as disclose to the public what really went down at the meeting, specifically, whether the board advised the Agong to grant the conditional pardon, on what grounds and on what terms.

There is a real fear that discussion of the ICJ verdict on Myanmar will neglect the real issue at stake, justice for the Rohingya. Over a million survivors live in dire conditions in camps in Bangladesh, refugees are threatened across the region, and Rohingya who remain in Myanmar are persecuted by the opposition Arakan Army as well as the military regime. This verdict matters for all their sakes, before its knock-on effects are considered.

As we await the ICJ's judgment in Gambia v. Myanmar, I want to say that IF the Court finds (a) sufficient evidence of large-scale atrocities against the Rohingya but (b) insufficient evidence that the atrocities were committed with genocidal intent, the headline should be (a).

Is it just me or have we stopped using the term Constitutional Crisis to describe these situations? Regardless if you are pro/anti monarchy, these are unprecedented challenges to constitutional roles, so why not call it that?
Or is it because it happens so often, so why bother?

New publication! On the foreignness of law in India’s constitutional imagination. Beyond postcolonial theory, I argue that law's power to estrange us from particular attachments makes a shared political life possible. Thanks to @twitatreyee for the invite.
