Our book is out. A lot of newly discovered facts, very few grand theories or wanton opining. I really hope you'll like it and use it. Thanks to everyone, incl. the dog that sabotaged my selfie. #whereisgrotius shorturl.at/Ld393

@gnuseibeh Our deepest condolences.

Deeply saddened by the passing this morning of my aunt, Samah Zaki Nuseibeh, in Jerusalem. 1932-2026 She was a pioneer of Arab women rights in Jerusalem as Chair of the Arab Women Association. May she rest in peace سماح زكي نسيبة انا لله وانا اليه راجعون

I miss the evil billionaires who'd try to buy their way into heaven by funding massive public libraries

International Human Rights Defenders Day is a reminder that progress on human rights doesn't happen by accident. Each step forward happens because HRDs persevere, year after year, choosing to be lighthouses instead of hurricanes. We owe them an eternity of gratitude. #HRDday

Sorry sorry I was just trying to buy a book from Cambridge University Press.

Delighted to present our book at The Peace Palace Library, and grateful to the organisers and librarians for herding cats and to the audience for asking superb questions that made me reexamine what we've been doing. @EdJonesC @PeacePalaceLib @MPILheidelberg

Someone has to write a history on this. So many books on the East India and the Dutch East India company. None of those ends with a shopping mall going bankrupt

B. Straumann, “The Just State” is out with Wiley-Blackwell, a survey of Greek & Roman theories of justice and their legacy in Western political thought.

So vitally important to expose kids to classic works of literature
