📣 New blogpost

In this post, @tkouloufakos.bsky.social examines the deployment of Foresight Methodologies as a useful tool to identify, address and resolve gaps and risks in critical infrastructure research.

I was happy to take part in the Regulating Cybersecurity 2025 conference organized in the beautiful faculty of law of the University of Granada. Among interesting contributions, I discussed how the misapplication of primary rules of PIL to cyberspace hampers the function of state responsibility.

Ι barely know how to process this information. How can people still defend it is (or should be) inconceivable...

I am very excited to participate tomorrow in the 2025 ESIL Research Forum in Catania titled "International law in the age of permacrisis". I will be focusing on cyberspace and specifically on the permacrisis that international responsibility faces in the cyber domain

With this blogpost I attempt to engage on yet another violation of international law from the US, this time coming from the Great Musk himself. How posts on X can (legally) become intervention to the internal affairs of other states and (realistically) a very real threat to democracy

Mass Protests in Greece Over State Response to Fatal Train Crash It has been nearly two years since a deadly train crash in Tempi, Greece on February 28, 2023, killed 57 people, most of them young, and injured dozens more.

Today marks 2 years since the devastating #Tempi train crash in #Greece. 57 lives lost, and the fight for justice intensifies. Mass protests across the country show the public's deep frustration with the lack of transparency and accountability. #Δεν_Εχω_Οξυγονο

ThePressProject on Instagram: "The Tempe train disaster on 28 February 2023, which claimed 57 lives, exposed critical failures in Greece’s railway safety systems and sparked widespread allegations of a cover-up. Despite repeated warnings from railway workers, key safety upgrades were never implemented, and investigations have since revealed political interference, missing evidence, and potential fuel smuggling on the freight train. Two years on, mass protests, new forensic findings, and fresh legal battles continue to fuel demands for justice and accountability. #tempi #tempe #Greece #δενέχωοξυγόνο #τέμπη" 11K likes, 14 comments - thepressproject on February 27, 2025: "The Tempe train disaster on 28 February 2023, which claimed 57 lives, exposed critical failures in Greece’s railway safety systems and sparked widespread allegations of a cover-up.

Today there is a general strike in Greece in the memory of the dead of the Τέμπη train disaster and to protest the continuous lies, corruption, and attempts to hide by the Greek government

Exclusive: US could cut Ukraine's access to Starlink internet services over minerals, say sources Ukraine's access to SpaceX-owned Starlink was brought up in talks between U.S. and Ukrainian officials after Ukrainian President Zelenskiy turned down an initial proposal from U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent.

This looks a lot like economic coercion to me, prohibited by the principle of non-intervention (as codified in the UN Friendly Relations Declarations) and by Art. 3 of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Trump declares US will ‘take over’ Gaza Strip as China says it opposes ‘forced transfer’ of Palestinians – live China believes in ‘Palestinian rule over Palestinians’, says foreign ministry spokesperson after US president’s announcement critics say amounts to ethnic cleansing

I really believe we shouldn't react to every thing a clearly deranged man says, but since he wants to add international criminal to the mix.
Annexation-> the most basic prohibition of PIL
Forced transfers-> was a war crime when Israel proposed it, remains a war crime

You know how some saints in different christian dogmas protect different things? We should definitely canonize a saint for refrences so researchers can pray somewhere when zotero/mendeley malfunction

Thank you very much 😊

It is very helpful thank you ery much for your eager help ☺️

Done :)

Since I cannot find one, here is a starter pack for the slightly niche topic of every aspect of PIL and the interwebs. Please feel free to send me so I can add you :D

Cyberspace: Council approves declaration on a common understanding of application of international law in cyberspace Council approves Declaration on a common understanding of application of international law in cyberspace.

Finally the EU throws its hat in the ring with the (first of its kind for EU standards) common declaration about how PIL applies to cyberspace. Quite valuable position from an important player. We eagerly expect the actual text to see teh details but a very positive development overall!

Hello, thank you very much for this, I'd love to be included thanks 😊

I apologise for barging in but this is a topic quite close to my heart. Any mandarins Benelux are a disappointment unless they are Turkish/Greek imported. Mandarins are supposed to be tangy not sweet/bland 🍊

Spending 9 hours reading 15 papers to write 1 footnote containing 40 words and 3 references

1) trying to apply the no-harm principle in cases of cyber harm in order to foster at least (some) harm redress in case of malicious cyber operations
2) how international law should become more flexible and start to apply its rules in a less rigid way shedding often unreasonable thresholds

Hello Mark, thanks for doing this I'd love to be included as well

Happy to participate in the "New Technologies in International Law" conference in Charles University yesterday discussing the application of the no-harm principle in cyberspace.
