I’m delighted to share my paper for @UNHCR on assessing serious disturbances to public order under the African OAU Refugee Convention, incl in the context of #climatechange and #disasters @UTASLaw refworld.org/docid/65142263…

"We are the darkest page of history" Afghan women sing in protest. This #IWD is another day of erasure for us Afghan women. Under 126 Taliban edicts, our faces are banned, our voices silenced, our dignity stolen. This is gender apartheid. Do not look away.

This is a timely and helpful resource that focuses on both the international and regional frameworks. Congratulations @tamarajanewood and all the authors on its publication.

Only peace can bring hope in Sudan, but it seems out of reach. UNHCR’s @OmerElnaiem reports from his homeland, which is now a country in ruins. The situation is getting worse every day while global attention is waning. We must #KeepEyesOnSudan.

UNHCR is develop/g guidance on applying the 1969 OAU Convention to people #displaced in the context of the adverse effects of #climatechange, environmental degradation & disasters on societal instability. ICYMI by @cleohanlo👇 #LossandDamage #protection refworld.org/reference/rese…

So sorry that this is increasingly the experience of people who’ve come here to make a new life and contribute to our community. Our leaders across the political and business spectrum need to take a stand against this. #politas abc.net.au/news/2024-03-0…

@AbedinMuhammed @SenPaterson I agree with your point about selective humanity and hypocrisy though, btw Zain. Btw my comment was in relation to the Israel/Palestine situation.

@cleohanlo @SenPaterson 🤣funny that the world can talk about IHR with a straight face amidst selective humanity and hypocrisy. Ukraine 🇺🇦 = 😭😱😥 Palestine 🇵🇸 = 🤫🤫, not our conflict, look the other way... First condemn Hamas then we will analyse the thousand dead babies in Palestine etc

International law applies as much to liberal democracies as to any other governments, Senator @SenPaterson #rnbreakfast

@AbedinMuhammed @SenPaterson No offence taken. The selectivity of my preaching is based largely on my limited use of X. And in terms of the choice of issues, I think speaking out against the biased/racist comments of Aus politicians is something we should all do from time to time, but that’s just me.

@cleohanlo @SenPaterson Not anything against you Cleo but I cringe when I see academics including those at UTAS with links to IHR, CC, ICJ, UN preach or analyse selective social issues.

How do disasters, #climatechange and environmental degradation in the MENA region affect #migration? @EuroMedRights publishes a new report highlighting the challenges and insights from climate change's impact on human mobility: euromedrights.org/publication/hu…
