Happy Sunday! This is one of the few occasions when I don’t even know what to add to all that’s going on. I am quite a bit overwhelmed these days not just with what’s going on in the world, but in my personal life mostly. So, I will just provide you with some weekend reading. A Major Global Report About Nutrition Around World Shows That We Are All Eating the Wrong Things Indeed, we are. And we need to find out what to do about it, especially on parts of the world where it is not about personal choices and…
Happy Sunday, everybody! I know, another week passed without any posts, it is not intentional, I am working on it. My work problem is about to be settled in the coming weeks (one way or another), and then I will hopefully be able to concentrate on creative stuff. At one point, I should probably write a post about it all, but it involves other people, so I will have to figure out some unharmful way to share it. Now let’s see what happened in the world this week. Syria: Starvation as a Tactic of War and A Syrian Response to Obama’s…
Happy Sunday, people! I have had a crazy week at work, and an even crazier (but pleasant!) weekend spent with friends, hence this late Sunday Smack. I hope you all had a great weekend too! Meanwhile, there were a lot of great readings in the blogosphere this week, it was hard to pick a few. Check out my selection. The Kunduz Hospital Attack: The Existence of a Fact-Finding Commission and Will the ‘Sleeping Beauty’ Awaken? The Kunduz Hospital Attack and the International Humanitarian Fact-Finding Commission There need to be a way to investigate the circumstances of this attack, and this might…
Happy Sunday, people, I hope everybody is having a great weekend! It is unbelievably gloomy here in Hungary these days, I am so in need of a dose of sunshine now. Perhaps a doze of my favorite TV shows will do until then. This is going to happen tonight, and I can’t wait. I mean I literally have zero time to watch these things anymore, but this one is a must. Even without my idol, Madeleine Albright in it, but with her, even more so! Anyway, Part II. of my UNGA general debate recap is halfway done, I plan to…
Happy first day of Summer everybody! Astrologically, that is, although weather-wise we are past a few hot summer days already. I hope all your summers are going wonderfully. I am still busy as ever, and it’s a shame especially because there are plenty of things to post about these days. I am trying hard not to miss marking anything important. These are just a few of this week’s top posts. World Refugee Day 2015: The Urgent Need For A Fresh Perspective On Global Migration Yesterday was World Refugee Day, but these days there are so much more to remind us…
Hello, Everybody! This four day week was pretty intense for me, by Friday it sure felt like any long and hard working week ever. There were also lots and lots of great posts! Seriously, this week I just wanted to put here almost everything I have read… Check out what I decided not to leave out… The Situation Concerning the Islamic State: Carte Blanche for the ICC if the Security Council Refers? Oh the beauties of law interpretation! And when international law scholars and practitioners interpret the law each in their own ways… Prospect of Peace Recedes in Mali A…
Happy Sunday, Happy Women’s Day People! I hope you all had a nice day today. I had an extremely busy week at work and thought there would be a lot of posts to catch up on, but hardly found any. Perhaps my favorite bloggers were busy as well. So, here’s a short version of Sunday Smack, the one before the big one next week! The Case of Russia’s Detention of Ukrainian Military Pilot Savchenko under IHL Great post taking all the scenarios into account. The Court will have to decide first whether there is an international armed conflict between Russia…
Hey there, everybody! I am back after a very eventful week and a half spent with friends, lots of laughter, London of course, and a few days of work even. Fortunately this one is a long weekend, so I can at least attempt to get some much needed sleep. It has also been a very eventful week world affairs-wise, I couldn’t even keep up with things here. I will try to reflect back on everything I have missed though, in the coming days. Now, I hope you’ll check out what I have read this past week. Starvation in Syria: Is…
