'Law is a science, not a religion.'
Sometimes (often?), law seems to closer to religion than to science.
📰 Jorge Cardona LLorens, ‘The Legal Value of the Views and Interim Measures Adopted by United Nations Treaty Bodies’ (2019) 23 SYbIL 146, 147

"This altered problematic reveals ... PIL as a fragmented accretion of differentiated communities of practice, existing in a vast normative void full of content, ever increasing content, and an ever-growing assortment of “legally cognizable materials.” It is more like a legal black hole—an unbearable mass of normative “stuff”: The elements of law. Undifferentiated law, each of it embodying some unreflected “lawness".

One of my former students liked my Harry Potter paper so much that he and a group of friends translated it into Arabic. That Arabic translation is now being published as a little book :)
My very own, very first, pamphlet!

Can you imagine living on one third of the cost of a double espresso, for your entire living expenses, per day, wherever you live?
That is not escaping extreme poverty, that is the very definition of extreme poverty.
#pil #publicinternationallaw #PoliticalSciences #politicalscience #humanrights
Nonetheless, this is USD equivalent *after* purchasing power parity (PPP) calculations. Egypt's current PPP is 4.57 and 2.15 USD 2017 is now 2.61 USD 2022. To statistically escape extreme poverty, an Egyptian needs access to the equivalent of 57 US *cents* per day, that is 11.60 EGP. For comparison, a double espresso costs 35 EGP.

So I just discovered that the World Bank has adjusted the extreme poverty line from 1.90 USD 2011 to 2.15 USD 2017. This, unusually, represents an increase, albeit a small one, in minimal daily purchasing power. (The CPI conversion for 1.90 USD 2011 is 2.09 USD 2017). Normally these re-evaluations result in actual required purchasing power being reduced - a lowering of the poverty line.
