@barandbench interviewed me on the rights of #POWs and the #GenevaConventions, relating to the capture of Wing Commander #Abhinandan. Also good to remember – you can’t cherry pick, and the convention protections apply in #Kashmir. #NoWarhttps://t.co/25yShMK0Bk

BREAKING: Today’s #SCOTUS decision affirms abusive corporations, governments, and banks are not above the law, no matter where they operate.
