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.

Opinions

Where the law stays silent, judgment must not

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.
