It’s been a long time. I am writing this first new post on a new(ish) platform and sharing what this blogging hiatus had got to do with European Parliament and Council Regulation 2018/302. The headline is actually more like a clickbait than a showcase of what to expect from this post, because the truth is I have no idea what my having to move all my content and change service provider had to do with a five year old EU law, but I am about to tell this story anyway. Let’s start where we left off, I started studying an…
I haven’t posted in a while, but now I’m on a new platform and full of new ideas. When I first started blogging on Tumblr (back when Tumblr used to be cool, I guess), my goal was to be able to share (reblog, mostly) the ideas and information that most inspired me in the topic of international law and world affairs. Soon, I discovered the directions I wanted to go, and started to create more of my own content. Then as my interests evolved and my free-time became practically non-existent, blogging was less of a priority and the quality of…
1. “If you haven’t tasted what tyranny is, be prepared, because tyranny is not comfortable.” 2. “Maxwell played a critical role in helping Epstein to identify, befriend and groom minor victims for abuse.” 3. “The Saudi process was anything but justice. It was a travesty of justice.” 4. “ This Fourth of July, one of the most patriotic things you can do is wear a mask.“ 5. “ I am running for president of the United States!” 6. “The very purpose of my life is to serve as much as I can. Music can help people in a way that I can’t.”…
Happy Sunday everybody! Just when you think this year couldn’t get any weirder, there comes the next thing. It’s hard to imagine where can we go from here… In addition to this week’s selection I hope you’ll check out my post on ms-jd.org, I wrote about some important stuff there. Happy reading! The July 1st march: Another endangered democratic landmark for Hong Kong This issue is getting way less coverage in world news than the graveness of it would deserve.

1. “Has the Bible ever been used in a more disingenuous and exploitative way?” 2. #blackouttuesday 3. “I want to speak directly to the young men and women of color in this country who have witnessed too much violence and too much death… I want you to know that you matter. I want you to know that your lives matter. That your dreams matter.” 4. “But mourning about Trianon can no longer be the focus of Hungarian politics, because, apart from the fact it leads nowhere, it paralyses, makes it incapable of action; it also consumes the moral and political…
Happy Sunday! This year is getting weirder and weirder, I guess and one can only hope we will come out of it into an improved and healed world in every way. In Hungary official communication suggests we are over the pandemic (COVID-19, there is no communication about the other one, i.e. racism), theaters are opening, beaches are crowded, people are out and about like nothing happened, while there are still several new cases every day. I can’t really decide whether I am overly precautious for not wanting to mingle with people for a while or they are irresponsible for doing…
“That may seem absurdly ambitious, but if the United Nations does not attempt to chart a course for the world’s peoples in the first decades of the new millennium, who will?” – former @unitednations Secretary General @kofiannan The UN Charter was signed 75 years ago today in San Francisco. 📖 #UN75 #UnitedNations #UNCharter #inHungarian #ENSZAlapokmány #wethepeoples (helyszín: Budapest, Hungary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB593I7n25o/?igshid=1vj0vciygzgvz

Happy Sunday! I know there is so much going on in the world, but I hope you found something to be happy about this weekend! I sincerely hope these trying times will lead to positive results too. Meanwhile we all have to take our part to signal a racist world is not the world we want to live in. Here’s another great post with resources to help gain understanding and take action. Let’s do some reading. We Can’t Breathe: UN OHCHR Experts Issue Joint Statement and Call for Reparations Statement signed by all of the independent experts of the UN…
Happy Sunday and happy June! I can’t believe it’s almost June already, it feels like we’ve skipped several weeks of this year, I don’t even know where they went. Like this pandemic wasn’t enough already, further grave things are happening in the world. Aren’t we supposed to move forward and not backwards with this kind of stuff? Everybody, who thinks this is not their problem, please educate yourselves (I loved this post for resources) and find ways to do good in the world. It needs us. Let’s get to reading. Why the WHO is failing and how to fix it…
