Discussion Paper I From Srebrenica to Gaza, the international system continues to falter in preventing atrocities and upholding its legal and moral responsibilities. Decades apart, these tragedies expose a troubling global inaction and selective accountability pattern. İhsan Faruk Kılavuz wrote: https://tinyurl.com/34u3xd79

Discussion Paper | In an environment where identities are absolutised and our ability to welcome each other as human beings, not as this or that, is being undermined, we cannot collectively celebrate the Oscar win for the best documentary as a victory.

Analysis | Having made gains in the 2024 local elections, the CHP risks dissipating this political advantage through its current crisis management approach. The aggressive rhetoric has failed to resonate beyond the party's core base and some radical elements across the political spectrum. Murat Selvi wrote: https://bit.ly/3Y2zIB5

Analysis | Trump wants to fracture the China-Russia partnership— but the world he’s dealing with isn’t the Cold War. Today’s Moscow and Beijing are bound not by ideology but by a shared resistance to U.S. dominance. Disrupting that bond is far tougher than Trump thinks. Burak Elmalı wrote: https://bit.ly/4csZXqg

Discussion Paper | Taking advantage of the power vacuum in Syria, the PYD/YPG aims to solidify its presence in the region by relying on methods to establish sham legitimacy. As part of this strategy, the group seeks to use the issue of foreign terrorist fighters as a bargaining tool against European governments, hoping to gain international recognition and legitimacy.
