A book cover with the words Handbook on Developing a National Position on International Law and Cyber activities. A practical guide for states. Authors names are Kubo Macak, Talita Dias and Agnes Kasper. There are logos for the Republic of Estonia, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, Nato Cooperative cyber defence centre of excellence and the University of Exeter. The image on the cover shows a very large circular board room style table with chairs around the outside and papers on the centre.

A still from the video featuring two digital human figures with glowing blue binary code patterns face a large futuristic screen displaying a world map. The map is illuminated with bright blue and orange lines connecting continents, symbolizing global data networks. Floating digital globes appear on the sides, and the caption at the bottom reads: ‘Cyberspace is borderless.’ The overall theme conveys connectivity and the limitless nature of the internet.

National positions on international law in cyberspace vary - from speeches to standalone documents.
The Handbook on Developing a National Position explores how form, style & language shape impact.

Sir Alan has assisted with Exeter Law School research, led by Professor Moorhead, into the impact of the scandal on sub-postmasters and their families.

Sir Alan Bates stood at a lectern, dressed ingraduation robes and hat. The caption reads My one message: Be honest to yourself and always hold on to the truth, because one day, somehow it will come out. Sir Alan Bates, Honorary Doctorate in Law, Founder of the Justice for Subpostmasters Alliance.

A standing ovation for a person described as 'one of the men we should admire the most in the world'.
Sir Alan Bates, Founder of the Justice for Subpostmasters Alliance was presented with an honorary doctorate by @richardmoorhead.bsky.social @exeter.ac.uk.

The image is of two people stood either side of a display table and in front of an old fireplace. There is a very ornate mirror behind them and you can see the reflections of a chandelier and ornate staircase.

A table displaying a few baskets of items such as spices and herbs in jars. There are pieces of paper on the table next to small scatterings of leaves and spices. There is a display sign on the table which reads 'The Living Health Traditions of the Caribbean south America and India'. Another sign reads, Pick me up and have a smell.

Dr Swati Gola was in the wonderful @britishacademy.bsky.social Summer Showcase to present her research 'Coloniality of Knowledge and Epistemic Injustice in the NHS’. Visitors enjoyed the smells and tastes of masala chai, bay rum and South American mate teas. sites.exeter.ac.uk/lawbulletin/...
