On the first anniversary of the launch of the ‘Education of Nations’ initiative, Law PB publishes an open letter to the Director-General of The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS). Based on a judicial framework provided by one of the foremost judges of our time and the facts contained in Russia’s Military Modernisation, an IISS Strategic Dossier (September 2020), he finds that:
(i) The Director-General has usurped the authority of the IISS Trustees, with or without their consent;
(ii) This IISS Dossier does not meet the legal standard set out in the case concerning the Project on Demilitarisation (‘Prodem’) in 1998 and 2000;
(iii) Furthermore, it helps to create a climate for war which, for a charity, is unlawful.
Law PB invites the IISS Director-General to consider his position… The letter is available here .
