The Shamima Begum ruling proves there’s not one human right the UK won’t trample on in order to make a political point against a Muslim woman who committed a crime she’s never been prosecuted for as a child. bbc.com/news/articles/…

I think I'm going to quit this platform in protest at Elon Musk. As Professor of International Security, I'm struggling to sit by while he calls for civil war in my country. One thing stopping me is being able to use this platform to protest. Anyone want to persuade me otherwise?

I saw Andrew W. Neal present this at #EISAPEC24 and is sounds a really useful resource. I'd expect a pretty wide uptake...

Andrew W. Neal Incredible accomplishment! It is such a useful dataset :)

What a FANTASTIC resource* *for nerds, academics and policy wonks! [this includes me]

Truly the Akashic Records of national security strategies There's no excuse like "oh noo it's too hard to find documents"

National Security and Defence Documents Dataset (1987-2024) consists of 575 national security and defence documents from 113 countries, including defence white papers. A jolly good resource database for both academia and practitioners alike. 👍🏼👇🏼 datashare.ed.ac.uk/handle/10283/8…

This is tremendously valuable.

Over 1000 visits to the dataset in the past 6 days!
