Kidnapping Blues: The Maduro Abduction Precedent

8 January 2026 Dr Binoy Kampmark 3

A Shameful Sham: The US Justice Department, Fake Cartels and Maduro

7 January 2026 Dr Binoy Kampmark 2

Venal Reactions: US Allies Validate Maduro’s Abduction

5 January 2026 Dr Binoy Kampmark 21

On the surface, abducting a Head of State is a piratical act eschewed by States. A Head of State enjoys absolute immunity from foreign criminal jurisdiction, known as ratione personae, at least till the term […]

The Don-roe Doctrine in Action: Trump’s Gangster Intervention in Venezuela

4 January 2026 Dr Binoy Kampmark 11

Secessionist Pantomime: Israel Recognises Somaliland

2 January 2026 Dr Binoy Kampmark 4

A Thesis Confirmed: Epstein, Dershowitz and the Israel Lobby

29 December 2025 Dr Binoy Kampmark 5

The Charge of the Padded Brigade: England in Australia

28 December 2025 Dr Binoy Kampmark 1

It’s been one of the strangest cricket series on record. Hurried, frenetic, foolish, haphazard and, at points, unbecomingly immature. The cricket between England and Australia in this, the 2025-6 Ashes series, was a recreational coke […]

Sanctioning Fever: The United States, European Union and Free Speech

26 December 2025 Dr Binoy Kampmark 7

Indiscriminate Suppression: Attacking pro-Palestinian Protests After the Bondi Killings

24 December 2025 Dr Binoy Kampmark 12

It has become a wallowing cringe. The extolling of multi-culti values, the incessant self-praise of diversity, variety and cosmopolitanism, only to then impose, in the name of such values, a restrictive regime of speech, language […]

Ignoring International Obligations: Blocking UN Human Rights Delegates in Australia

22 December 2025 Dr Binoy Kampmark 4

Bureaucracy, in a formulation by the great German sociologist Max Weber, fanatically defends secrecy, and is bound to confect any explanation in doing so. When it comes to swatting away scrutiny by United Nations human […]

The Problem with Machado: Assange Sues the Nobel Foundation

21 December 2025 Dr Binoy Kampmark 6

The Swedish police have promised it will go nowhere, but the attempt by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to draw attention to the inappropriateness of María Corina Machado as a Nobel Peace Prize recipient raises a […]

Confusion at NATO: Rutte, Russia and Delusions about Trump

18 December 2025 Dr Binoy Kampmark 2

It was a speech unhinged in millenarian zeal. It was unapologetically hysterical in urging war while claiming to protect peace. It was also delivered with a note of profound self-denial: the US administration’s 2025 National […]
