New review of my latest book just out in #EuropeanLawReview, by @JSuarezBoh (@UCC) “It is... refreshing to read Muinzer’s intellectually honest and raw critiques of his peers’ work — something rather unusual... in academia”! #MajorCasesInClimateLaw: bloomsbury.com/uk/major-cases…

New post by Patricio Trincado Vera & @JSuarezBoh on how an IACtHR exceptional rule on legal standing for Indigenous Peoples Living in Voluntary Isolation could be applied in analogy to #futuregenerations in #climate cases. Read more at: humanrightshere.com/post/tagaeri-a…

Despite the 2:1 investment ratio, Irish transport emissions keep rising. Now, the incoming government plans to scrap it, prioritising cars over people and the planet. Imagine the damage this will do to our health and future.

Opinion: Ireland will not move on climate until we have truly democratic processes jrnl.ie/6583609t

Trump is threatening Panama and wants to take control of the canal. So it's time for a little history lesson on US imperialism and Panama: The US wanted to build a canal through the Isthmus of Panama in the 19th century. But they had a problem: the land required for the canal - the Canal Zone - belonged to somebody else, Colombia. Colombia said the US could build and operate the canal, taking over earlier failed efforts by French constructors, so long as Colombia retained sovereignty over the Canal Zone. US negotiators rejected this position and insisted that the US must control the Canal Zone. Colombian legislators refused, just as any nation would refuse the prospect of a foreign government exercising sovereign control over a strip of land bisecting their country. The idea is quite obviously absurd. So the US did what they always do: they intervened militarily. The US invaded Colombia in 1903. They supported a separatist insurgency in the Panama district, and forcibly blocked Colombian troops from containing it and reestablishing control over the area. The separatists declared an independent state, with US support, and immediately gave the US what they wanted: total sovereignty over the Canal Zone. In other words, the land for the Panama canal was obtained under conditions of imperialist intervention. And it was orchestrated by Theodore Roosevelt, who perpetrated several other imperialist interventions in the region during his presidency. The US governed the Canal Zone as its own sovereign territory - effectively a colony - until 1979, when it switched to joint control with Panama. It was only restored to full Panamanian sovereignty in 1999. As for who built the canal, it was created by 75,000 workers, most of them Afro-Caribbean from the West Indies, who laboured under extremely harsh and dangerous conditions, undertaking one of the most challenging engineering tasks in history. Some 28,000 workers died on the job. Without those workers, and without their extraordinary sacrifice, the canal simply would not exist. The Panama canal does not belong to the US. It belongs to the people of the region and they have a right to sovereign control over their own territory.

Environmentalists, unlike business advocates, can see too clearly how the world works and are willing to call it out. Environmentalists are the ones saying we can do things better, cheaper and without destroying the only world we have in order to save it irishtimes.com/environment/cl…

@ManuelRayranC Y se ponen bravos cuando cualquiera, incluso la ciudadanía, cuestiona o pide responsabilidad por la gestión y las decisiones del Banco. Es una institución profundamente antidemocrática a sueldo del capital, por eso los liberales ensalzan su diseño.

¿La institución está bien diseñada para quién? ¿La independencia del Banco a qué intereses responde? ¿A los de la clase trabajadora doméstica o para los dueños del capital extranjero? Es claro que el diseño institucional responde a unas relaciones de poder del sistema económico

@niamh_guiry @CUBSucc @LawUCC @Prakriti_DG @UCCLawEnv Congratulations, Niamh!

𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 [𝑛𝑜𝑢𝑛]: the alarming growth of private cars in height, width, length and weight at the expense of public space, the environment, street quality and overall safety.

I had wonderful time presenting on RoN, bioculturalism and IEL national implementation at the ESIL @UOCuniversity Crossroads of IEL enforcement. Made great acquaintances and had very insightful discussions. Hope to be back again next year!

@ManuelRayranC @agaviriau Al Dr Gaviria los medios lo graduaron de intelectual. En realidad, es otro (neo)liberal más que se deleita con financiarización de los bienes sociales. Igual que los otros, insiste en pescar en río revuelto. Como extremo centro entiende bien que esto va de capital...

@agaviriau Estuvo en la dirección de carteras ministeriales e hizo parte del desastre estructural del país. Pero ahora quiere presentarse como la solución a los problemas que él mismo ayudó a hacer. Esa estrategia electoral ya la sabemos, hay que esforzarse más.

@DignoMontalvan ¡Tremenda noticia! ¿Cuándo publicarían el texto final del fallo?

‼️Histórico: el Tribunal Constitucional de España ha ratificado que el Mar Menor es sujeto de derechos‼️ El Tribunal declaró que los Derechos de la Naturaleza son compatibles con la constitución española y la importancia de la implementación de enfoques no antropocéntricos.

A real pleasure to have presented about litigating Ron in European domestic contexts at the #HRCC2024 Inaugural Conference. I met wonderful people and received very useful feedback on my research. Hope to be back at the NHHRR next year!
