Shaking the Foundations! Listen to my 4 Spotify podcasts: the early development of the int'l anti-trafficking framework! These are a product of being a @LeverhulmeTrust Visiting Professor at the Rights Lab (@rightsbeacon), @UniofNottingham for 2023-24. monash.edu/law/news/2024/…

UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran @drmaisato speaks at the Third Committee, 38th plenary meeting - General Assembly, 79th session

Today I am visiting @rightsbeacon and @UoNHRLC. @UniofNottingham is my Alma mater as I did my PhD over 20 years ago so it's always nice to come back.

The dying humanities at Leiden University. Arabic has been taught at Leiden since 1586. Leiden holds the oldest continual chair of Arabic in Europe, established in 1613. Budget cuts from central government combined with faculty deficit (over 5million euros) will batter the humanities at Leiden University in the coming period. Important to note the details below are proposals yet to be ratified by the faculty board. Starting in 2026-27 academic year, my university, Leiden, end all bachelor degrees in African and Latin studies. Middle East Studies will also come to an end. This includes all specialisations of Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Hebrew, and Islamic Studies. Ancient Near Eastern Studies will have to substantially reduce their specialisations (tracks). Japan studies, China studies, Korea studies, South and South Asian studies will merge into Asian Studies. German, French, and Italian programmes will merge into European Languages and Cultures degree programme.

Honoured to be delivering a keynote lecture this evening on ending modern slavery @binghamtonu as part of our collaborative research network @rightsbeacon binghamton.edu/institutes/hum…

It is with great sadness that the International Court of Justice announces the passing of HE Mr Nabil Elaraby, a former member of the Court from 2001 to 2006, on Monday 26 August 2024 in Egypt.

Excited to join @BirkbeckUoL and to be the next director of @ICPRtweet from Feb 2025. I began my academic career as an intern @ICPSLONDON and a PhD student @ICPRtweet.

Thrilled to be joining @BirkbeckUoL from Feb 2025 as Director of @ICPRtweet . Looking forward to working with brilliant criminologists at @ICPRtweet @ICPSLONDON. Very grateful to Birkbeck for supporting my role as UN Special Rapporteur on Islamic Republic of Iran.

The U.S. welcomes new Special Rapporteur @drmaisato on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran. As the IRI continues to execute its citizens at record rates based on forced confessions & without fair trials, the Special Rapporteur’s work is urgently needed.

Today, I start my mandate as Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of #Iran. Touched by all your messages since the announcement by the @UN_HRC. Thank you @JavaidRehman for your tireless work over the last 6 years.

The deadline to submit abstract proposals is tomorrow! Visit cambridge.org/core/journals/… for more information.

Wow, this is amazing! A new edition of @PhilipGAlston’s textbook on International Human Rights Law is available open access! What a gift for all the students who cannot afford expensive textbooks (but also teachers, who often equally cannot afford them)! humanrightstextbook.org

Let the diplomatic professionals do their jobs

Farewell to a brilliant director, friend and mentor. RIP Professor Trevor Burnard
