'In fact, the greater risk, from an Australian and Pacific perspective, is being passive and naive in multilateral arenas while autocratic powers capture and re-shape the institutions and agendas of the post-1945 order', writes @Fordthought. aspistrategist.org.au/the-po…

Such a pleasure to join this panel with you @Fordthought and @JTasioulas - in what must surely be the most beautiful law building in the world! I was talking about my paper, ‘The Problem With Complex Legislation’, forthcoming in Legal Theory
What do self-regulatory, 'soft law' approaches to tech #governance mean for Rule of Law?
Great to join @JTasioulas @dr_lbc on panel @Macquarie_Law

Lazy logic of our times that threatens to kill the idea of human rights:
1) X is bad
2) Something must be done about X
3) Declaring a human rights against X is something
4) There is a human right against X.
