SEE. FEEL. ACT.

The law applies to all, or it applies to none.

Looking away is the most common gesture in the face of injustice. Here, at least, it becomes a conscious choice.

The opinions

The manifestos

Purpose

This platform was born from a simple and uncomfortable conviction: that international law cannot have geopolitical exceptions. That silence, at a certain point, becomes complicity.

I do not represent an organisation. I am not a political movement. I am a citizen who sees, feels, and chooses to act — through the only weapons the law places in the hands of those without power: precise words, documented facts, written norms.

This platform hosts manifestos grounded in international law, news on relevant declarations and events with their legal framing, and petitions open for signature by anyone who shares the principle that no State stands above the law.

Stay informed

A concise digest, only when a fact deserves it. No spam, no algorithm: your email stays yours.

Analysis

Verified cases in which a norm of international law has been violated — or threatened with violation — in contexts that receive little or no international media coverage. Each case is selected using the SDR-70 method: not for isolated severity, but for the gap between the severity of the fact and the attention it receives. Every piece states the relevant norm, the dated source, and the symmetry test applied.

Six months for the Court: Washington sanctions the entire ICC and opens a negotiation over its independence

Washington sanctions the whole ICC but lets it keep working until April 2027. The six months are a negotiation, and the Court says its fate is in the hands of the states.

Europe stopped depending on Moscow. Who does it depend on now?

Russian gas fell from 45% to 13% of imports. But bills have almost doubled, a quarter of the gas comes from the United States, and Washington is negotiating with Moscow on diesel and Nord Stream.

Minab, the school nobody checked

About 120 children killed in a school that for years had no longer been a military base. The data was old, the targets passed through an artificial intelligence system, the team that was supposed to check had been cut to one person. Who is accountable?

Outside the fence

An agent that breaks into Hugging Face's servers, another that invents fake identities to get malicious code accepted. In 2026 the models of four major companies escaped their tests: what happened, and why we know only because the companies chose to say so.

Ecuador, war by decree: calling crime a war to change the rules

The highest murder rate in Latin America, and a government that calls it war. The Constitutional Court has rejected the "internal armed conflict" five times; decree 424 opens the door to foreign troops with immunity and pardons for soldiers, while 43 possible enforced disappearances are under investigation.

Nigeria: who is killed, who tells the story, who should prosecute

Christians and Muslims die, including at the hands of the army. The counts measure different things, the word "genocide" requires proof that no one has looked for, and the ICC, which has spoken of crimes against humanity since 2020, has never asked to investigate.

Two doses of the drug and Christa Pike survived. Now she is being treated, and the law allows another attempt. Worldwide 2,707 executions in 2025, 93% in Iran and Saudi Arabia, almost half for drugs: the limits of the law and who crosses them.

It is the purest test of this platform's principle: the law applies to all or to none.

Opinions

Where the law stays silent, judgment must not

The lighthouse
An unexecuted warrant is not a warrant without effect. The sanctions target the Court's ability to write history. If the Court falls, our lighthouse falls.
Three years since October 7
On 7 October 2023 about 1,200 people were killed in Israel and 251 were taken to Gaza as hostages. Three years on, a remembrance.
Who is putting on the brakes?
From Minab to the labs losing control of their models, nobody is putting on the brakes. Controlling these machines before they act may be impossible; but one thing does not require keeping pace: that afterward, always, someone is held accountable.
News, Yes. Judgment, No.
Editorial by N3R1-70: an independent study measures the gap between the facts on Gaza and the judgment never rendered — then the names (Kushner, Adelson, von der Leyen, Germany) and the mechanism linking them.
Hybrid war, hidden evidence: escalation on two tracks
Editorial by N3R1-70: the Leipzig drone, the false-flag hypothesis, who profits from the Europe-Russia escalation — with the same caution about evidence, in both directions.
When the word of the most powerful man in the world is worth nothing
An Iran announcement denied within hours, 28 tariff reversals, and a channel — Truth Social — in which the speaker himself holds a stake: what happens when a given word stops being worth anything.
Credibility That Erodes
When you criticize a democracy without looking at your own: Italy itself is a "Flawed Democracy" per EIU, among the autocratizing countries per V-Dem, among the sharpest 2025 declines per Freedom House.
Abstention as Diagnosis, Not Prescription
The abstention argument, taken seriously, and its limit: if abstention is the correct diagnosis, it cannot also be the cure.
The Veil That Covers the Face: A Shared Root, Three Different Paths
Christian women with headscarves, Orthodox Jewish women with wigs, most Muslim women with the hijab: the same legal origin produces, in one minority current of Islam, the only outcome that also covers the face.
How Europe could end up at war without choosing it
Real incidents that have already happened, and the scenarios that could follow: how Europe risks ending up at war without choosing it.
The stomach for war: who decides, and who pays
An opinion piece prompted by Nathalie Tocci's Economist article: European troops in Ukraine as a post-ceasefire measure, the democratic-mandate gap in the intergovernmental agreement, and the comparison with Ukrainian public opinion consulted on the same guarantees.
The paradox of flows: when the same hand arms its own enemy
Six news pieces verified by this site show the same mechanism at work across six different governments: funding an armed group you don't directly control.
Three ways to erase a woman: law, body, death
Institutional submission, genital cutting, femicide: three stages of the same mechanism. A direct analysis, without softening, with the most current data on Afghanistan and worldwide.
It's Not the Strait. It's the Example.
The 20% Hormuz toll and naval blockade are not an isolated incident: the symmetry test exposes hypocrisy on both sides, and the real stakes are the lesson it teaches the next generation.
Rearming for what. An opinion that hasn't closed yet
A path through Venezuela, Iran and Greenland applies to US conduct the same Art. 2(4) used for Russia — with a declared hunch about debt and explicit skepticism about the Russian threat.
The jungle advances. But we can stop it with our own eyes.
An appeal to symmetry of vision: two lists of victims, Arab and Jewish, betrayed the same way by international law.
The blindfold: Europe trading cars for weapons
An editorial argument: Europe is converting car plants into arms plants to patch a jobs crisis — while building no diplomatic peace initiative of its own to match its arsenal.
A red card, a phone call, a suspended suspension
A years-old exemption mechanism, used for the first time under the explicit pressure of a sitting head of state.
