SIM Newsletter Winter 2026, Issue 40 |
A Goodbye, Not a Farewell |
 |
This is my last message to you, readers of this Newsletter, in my capacity as director of SIM. As of April, I will take up a new position at the head of NIAS, the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study, in Amsterdam. Although I hugely look forward to this new opportunity, it also feels double-edged to step down in these times. Democratic recession, shrinking civic space, the majority of the globe’s people living under authoritarian rule, a planet in the midst of a climate and biodiversity crisis - we seem to live once again in what Antonio Gramsci once described as a time of monsters. When I started leading SIM in 2014, now almost twelve years ago, I promised myself to do two things: (1) enable work of the highest quality at SIM and (2) help to show and showcase this, internally and externally. These two things I saw as crucial for a well-functioning human rights institute. Only with the best research and teaching can we contribute to society in meaningful ways, but it would amount to nothing if a great article or book just ends up in a drawer. Hence I had earlier re-started this SIM Newsletter, of which you are reading the 40th issue today. But only over time, I realised there was a third thing I found key in leading SIM and that is to foster and enable a good working culture and team. And looking back, although it is for others to judge how successful that was, this would be what stands out most for me.People often say they stand on the shoulders of giants, but in daily life it is the hands and words of colleagues that really matter: helping out, an arm over a shoulder, a pat on the back, solidarity and humour. That is what makes SIM a wonderful place: academics deeply committed to human rights, but also caring about their colleagues. In academia, increasingly under pressure and in competition, it is these small gestures that truly make a difference. For this I am most grateful and it thus not just of the work but also of the humanity of my SIM colleagues that I am most proud. I am therefore very happy that I will retain a small appointment as human rights professor at Utrecht University and SIM and thus continue to work and teach at least to some extent in the field that I love and among the colleagues I care about. And just like human rights do not exist in a vacuum but can only become lived realities through the courage, perseverance and solidarity of many, just so SIM thrives in the networks of people it is part of. The collaborations, across disciplines, universities and borders, in the NNHRR, in AHRI, in the Global Campus, are crucially what makes our work as in institute possible, impactful and also enjoyable. For this I am also deeply grateful. In the next SIM Newsletter we hope to present the new SIM leadership to take up the baton. This year 2026 also marks the 45 years of existence of SIM. In Autumn, we will organise a conference including this year’s SIM Peter Baehr lecture for that occasion. We will keep you posted on date, theme and speakers in the coming months. For now, not farewell, but goodbye and may our paths often cross in the future!

Beyond Compliance in a Chaotic World |
On 14 October 2025, Fight for Humanity, together with the BCC, the University of York, the Centre on Armed Groups, Utrecht University and the Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC), hosted a peace panel at the Geneva Peace Week. The discussion, moderated by Anki Sjöberg from Fight for Humanity and joined by over 100 participants, looked at how using a harm + need approach can help shape legal and extra-legal strategies to promote respect for IHL and international human rights law (IHRL), encourage restraint from violence and abuse, and strengthen the protection of civilians in armed conflict. Panelists included Katharine Fortin from Utrecht University, who highlighted the importance of the BCC’s approach; Prof. Ioana Cismas from the University of York, who elaborated on the BCC’s core concepts whilst drawing on fieldwork conducted in Myanmar and Northern Thailand with armed and governance actors, local community actors and international humanitarian and human rights groups. |

Intergenerational Dialogue for Well-Being Futures |
On 29 January, Konstantina Karagkouni presented her research on unilateral sanctions and intergenerational harm at the academic workshop “Intergenerational Dialogue for Well-Being Futures: Theories, Practices, and Policy Pathways,” held at Mansfield College, Oxford. During the workshop, she examined how sanctions — drawing on Iraq and Venezuela as case studies — can contribute to the transmission of trauma across generations. Building on research conducted by the Beyond Compliance Consortium, she demonstrated that while international law addresses certain immediate harms caused by sanctions, it largely fails to recognise or remedy their delayed and cumulative impacts on communities. She further explored how international jurisprudence is gradually evolving to acknowledge intergenerational harm suffered by indirect victims. She concluded by arguing that only through a holistic and inclusive interpretation of civilian harm can international law provide meaningful remedies to affected communities. |

Alexandra Timmer has received a Vidi grant from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), for her research project entitled: ‘Beyond the Tip of the Iceberg: Structural Discrimination and Dutch Equality Legislation’. This project investigates how the material legal provisions of Dutch equality legislation can better respond to structural discrimination. The project will develop theoretical, doctrinal, comparative, and participatory insights on equality law. A core contribution of the project will be to involve the perspective of affected communities and institutional stakeholders through co-creation, an underdeveloped practice in Dutch equality law scholarship. |

Last year, several European states criticised—and at times attacked—the ECHR over its approach to migration cases, first in the so-called Letter of 9 and later in the Letter of 27. In response, the Secretary General of the Council of Europe launched a formal discussion on the Convention, with a Ministerial Declaration expected in May 2026. A group of scholars, including Kushtrim Istrefi, established the AGORA Group—an informal, independent, pan-European platform promoting open dialogue and evidence-based debate on key issues concerning the European Convention on Human Rights. On 28 November 2025, Andrew Forde, Alice Donald, Ed Bates and Kushtrim Istrefi sent a letter to the Council of Europe, signed by 150 legal academics, researchers and advocates from across the region. The letter can be found here. |

On 26 January, Konstantina Karagkouni was invited to speak at the Holocaust Memorial Day event, organised by UHSK and held in the Aula at Utrecht University. This year’s theme, “The Holocaust Across Generations,” focused on the enduring impact of genocide across time. In her contribution, Konstantina examined the intergenerational effects of both past and present genocides, including those in Gaza and Sudan. She explored how harm can be transmitted across generations, affecting individuals who have not directly experienced the original traumatic events. Drawing on findings from the Beyond Compliance Consortium, she also outlined the types of harm currently recognised under international law. She concluded by reflecting on how international jurisprudence is evolving to better acknowledge and address intergenerational harm suffered by indirect victims. |

Right to a Healthy Environment |

To address this, the NGO Youth and Environment Europe organised a project funded by the Council of Europe for law students to draft a new additional protocol to the Convention. Julie Fraser supervised this research from August to November 2025, which culminated in a workshop hosted by Utrecht University of youth environmental activists from across Europe. The students report, which analysed present jurisprudence on the right to a healthy environment and proposed a draft right, was formally presented to the Council of Europe.
