24/03/2021Studying for my upcoming exam on the history and theory of international law. At times it is quite difficult to figure out all the developments through the different time periods, but it is also incredibly interesting, so I don’t mind putting in the extra work!
31/01/2021 Preparing for the start of my classes tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to taking my final courses and writing my thesis during the next few months!

Two stories about Canada’s new government:
Canada to withdraw from Kyoto Protocol, where Canada decides fighting climate change isn’t worth the money (there are legitimate concerns about how the biggest polluters aren’t covered, but this isn’t a great way of dealing with them).
Canada bans veil at citizenship ceremonies, where I don’t think I need to add anything. It’s worth noting that the relatively progressive Muslim Canadian Congress supports the ban on burqas and niqabs, saying that they have “no basis in Islam” and that it is “not a requirement of Islam that Muslim women stay covered completely”.
Good point but bad execution, along with bad point and bad execution.
