By the way, everything I've ever written, every podcast I've done, every conference paper and panel with video record - all of it's freely available at linktr.ee/crisveijk. Okay, self-plugging done, back to catching up on my inbox.

We can’t build housing on Earth that doesn’t leak air and heat one generation later, and you wanna ask *Boeing* to build that on the Moon?! And the US government to be in charge of its continued long-term maintenance? Be so for real.

Basic indicator of the viability of a permanent human presence on the Moon/Mars: do a quick survey of your inter-regional travel infrastructure. Its existence, upkeep, and quality. Would you want the same people charged to build & maintain *that* to be ensuring your oxygen?

[From 🔵☁️] Excited to share my new article, 'The Exclusive Making of Space Law', published (open access) in @LJIL_Leiden. It took me 3 weeks to write the first draft, but 3 years to finalise - and I'm grateful to everyone who helped me along the way. doi.org/10.1017/S09221…

This article explores a microhistory of space lawmaking from 1957-67, and in the process speaks to wider trends in the making of int'l law more generally. Factors like UN documentation procedure & US racial segregation had material impacts on who participated & the legal results.

"'Without a team dedicated to space policy, the sheer volume of issues White House staff must tackle on a daily basis quickly crowds out any space agenda.'"

Exclusive: President Donald Trump's new administration is likely to do away with the White House's National Space Council, a cabinet policy panel that lobbyists at Elon Musk's SpaceX have been pushing to axe, according to people familiar with the plans reut.rs/3PL7HcL

Notably, Mexico says that its efforts to hold an open discussion on the topic in the Special Committee on the Charter of the United Nations has been blocked by a group of unnamed States that hold the opposing view. One wonders what that group is afraid of ...

Niche take: the 'intertemporal rule' aka 'principle of contemporaneity' is neither a rule nor a principle of international law - a dude named Max just said it was once, 98 years ago, and we've all just been going with it ever since.

On recent discourse about responsibility in speculating legalities of things like, for instance, genocide and extractivism, I agree with @djag2’s line of thinking here.
Douglas Guilfoyle@djag2

@CAugustElliott I am not really up for “IHL as parlour game of thought experiments” at present, sorry. Too many IHL scholars playing that game in a way I find increasingly untenable. Take a look at Article 7 Amended Protocol II to the CCW Convention.

And crucially, I’ve barely seen critique of, for instance, the *authors themselves*. - Constructive critique of an institution’s concerning decisions is great! - Condemning a wide group of un(der)paid scholars as supporting *genocide*, but not the actual authors, is… worrying

And finally, shout-out to @AdHaque110's amicus brief to the ICC PTC last August. As even the authors agree, the Oslo Accords were negotiated while Palestine was "Under Israeli belligerent occupation" - which, following Art 52 VCLT, would make them void. icc-cpi.int/sites/default/…

"the annexing state has an entitlement to the maritime zones offshore the annexed territory and sovereign rights to the marine resources within... Israel may claim the right to govern the development of the Gaza Marine fields and use the resources for its own interests..." ICJ:
