On the @EntitledPodcast, our newest episode asks whether apartheid can be based on gender?
NEW: Should gender apartheid be an international crime? On our newest ep., hosts @cfloed & @tomginsburg talk to @YaleLawSch's @MusaMahmodi & Zahra Motamedi and @UMichLaw's @karimabennoune about what it would mean to create this legal designation and assign it to Afghanistan. ♀️
Seems like an apt moment to revisit our @EntitledPodcast episode on the complicated right to protest. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
Students wonder how international law is made.
Starts a bit like this - with a question - doesn’t the treatment of women in Afghanistan by the Taliban look a lot like apartheid …but based on gender?

A thread of references to #GenderApartheid by officials & experts
1) @antonioguterres:
"In #Afghanistan, unprecedented, systemic attacks on women’s.. rights & the flouting of intl obligations are creating gender-based apartheid"

Nearly 300 @Yale faculty ask the administration to drop all charges against peaceful student protesters, take no disciplinary action against those arrested, and respect the core values and fundamental rights of assembly and free expression. docs.google.com/document/d/1…
If the most well-resourced universities in the country can’t find a way to create a space for peaceful protest, we are in trouble.

NEW: Freedom of speech is a fundamental right -- but how free is it today? On Entitled's Season 3 premiere, hosts @cfloed & @tomginsburg ask @YaleLawSch's Robert Post, @ACLU's @benwizner & @TheFIREOrg's Komi Frey about the status of speech in one key setting: US universities.🎙️📚
I am honored by this appointment and greatly looking forward to working with my fellow members of the UN Working Group on Discrimination Against Women and Girls and the @UN_SPExperts more broadly to promote global gender equality.
Curious what philosopher @AgnesCallard, @UChicagoLaw legal scholar Aziz Huq, AI researcher @alexhanna and my 11 year old think about the future of rights and artificial intelligence? Listen now to the @EntitledPodcast season finale - do/should AI have rights?
Last episode of season 2 is out! @cfloed and @tomginsburg speak with @alexhanna of @DAIRInstitute, Andrew Stout from @DiligentRobots, and @AgnesCallard and Aziz Huq from @UChicago about AI, rights, and our shared future. Listen on Apple Podcasts now. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
Released tomorrow - It’s our last episode of season 2 on @EntitledPodcast – might as well take the “human” out of human rights. Is the equality of artificial intelligence a question we should be asking????
Might the machines of the future deserve rights? 🤖
In our last ep. of the season, hosts @cfloed and @tomginsburg consider how the #AI of tomorrow might give rise to machines with rights. They also look at how the AI of today is already impacting our #HumanRights here and now.
This episode on equality and disability is one of my favorites of @EntitledPodcast thanks to our brilliant guests. Take a listen if you haven’t already.

Some more thoughts on the impact on prison labor of incarcerated coerced labor exceptions to state constitutions.
The so-called slavery loophole permitting involuntary servitude for punishment of crime is on the ballot in five states, exposing fault lines in incarcerated workers' employee status and prompting scrutiny of the imprisoner-as-employer relationship. law360.com/employment-author…
