Wright discusses the efficacy of Israel's missile defense systems, such as the Iron Dome, which successfully intercepted nearly all incoming threats. The potential ramifications of this direct conflict, including the likelihood of an escalated military response from Israel and its implications for global security, are thoroughly explored. Renewed Russian Offensive in Ukraine: Wright shifts focus to the latest developments in Ukraine, where Russian forces targeted underground natural gas facilities, aiming to cripple energy supplies to Europe. The episode breaks down the strategic importance of these facilities and assesses the effectiveness of Ukrainian air defenses. Wright speculates on the potential for renewed peace talks, citing recent statements from Russian officials, and evaluates the impact of ongoing military engagements on the European and global energy markets. Landmark Climate Change Ruling in Europe: The program then addresses a groundbreaking decision by the European Court of Human Rights which ruled that European governments must protect their citizens from the impacts of climate change. Wright analyzes the immediate effects of this ruling on European industries, projecting significant economic disruptions and a surge in climate-related litigation. He considers the broader implications for global environmental policy and the potential for similar legal standards to influence U.S. regulatory practices. U.S. Domestic Policies and Economic Impact: The final segment critiques the Biden administration's domestic policies, particularly those affecting energy prices such as the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Wright discusses the double-rate increase in electricity prices since the onset of the Biden administration, attributing it to reduced natural gas and coal production and increased reliance on less reliable renewable energies. He predicts further economic strain as these policies continue to unfold, potentially exacerbating the cost of living for American citizens. Throughout the episode, Wright interlaces his analysis with potential future scenarios, offering a clear and potent critique of current international relations and domestic policies. The episode concludes with a call to recognize the truths revealed by recent events and their implications for global stability and economic health.

The UK Government has suffered a humiliating legal setback to its plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda. The first flight was cancelled minutes before take-off yesterday after a late intervention from the European Court of Human Rights led to fresh challenges in the UK courts.

Public international law's turn to judicialisation in the last three decades has led to more attention paid to remedies including of monetary character, in inter-State dispute settlement as well as in tribunals open to non-State actors. In the last five years or so, a more discreet phenomenon of successful 1+ billion USD claims has emerged. I will address it under the rubric of ‘mega-awards', in line with the terminology reportedly used by States in the UNCITRAL Working Group III meeting this October. A few recent examples from different international tribunals will illustrate my point. Last September, Albania allocated 1.2 billion EUR for execution of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights. This July, an investor-State dispute settlement tribunal rendered a 6 billion USD award against Pakistan, the second mega-award against the particular respondent since 2017. In the International Court of Justice, it seems likely that the claim for compensation in Armed Activities on the Territory of Congo (DRC v Uganda), which was scheduled to be argued in the week of 18 November (now postponed), could involve comparable amounts, in light of the Court's findings on the merits. In short, mega-awards are, if not quite mundane, certainly not exceptional in contemporary international law, generated in different fields of international law as part of general dispute settlement practice and with very significant effects on many respondent States. I propose to discuss their place in the framework of rules and institutions of international law, with an eye to whether it is helpful to treat them as a separate juridical category that calls for particularly attuned legal solutions.

We talked about the EU from a few different perspectives. The referendum and how it will affect things was one topic and we had a natter about some of the fundamental misunderstandings about what the EU is/does as well.How the EU referendum might change things over at Holyrood got an airing. Could it strain the Unionist alliance?The European Court of Human Rights has also been in the news a bit more than normal recently. Andrew has some interesting ideas as to why.The rhetoric and the reality of what Obama had to say for himself this week was our final little topic.https://twitter.com/PeatWorrierhttps://twitter.com/mgreenwell
