The undersigned … wish to express outrage and clear condemnation of Israel’s new death penalty law. It is not only immoral and in violation of the most basic dictates of public conscience, but is also unlawful both in terms of domestic constitutional law and Israel’s obligations under int’l law.

The ICJ will hold hearings on the merits of the genocide case brought by Gambia against Myanmar on January 12-29.
… and the rule of law. Good to see that this subject gets broader attention. Its relevance goes far beyond the ICC.
A great way to open the 24th ICC ASP— starting with the use of force and advancing Rome Statute universality. Co-sponsored by 🇱🇮🇨🇭🇩🇪🇸🇮🇨🇱🇻🇺, GIPA & PGA, the event stressed the need for more accountability for aggression, complement the UN Charter and promote universality of the RS as amended

Das Wissen, dass es mehr als ein deutschsprachiges Land mit einer #Rechtsordnung gibt, hätte man sogar der AI zugetraut. #ArtificalUnIntelligence
Academic authors, here's a peek into the black box of journal publishing from an journal editor if you can bear it:
Not necessarily a move that inspires confidence in a peaceful future
Congratulations @tomdannenbaum.bsky.social! That’s fantastic news and so well deserved. All the best at Stanford!
"Russia and the United States have discussed Israel’s occupation of the West Bank as a model for ending the war in Ukraine"
“Ukraine will never give up its sovereignty. But the reality is it’ll be occupied territory and the model is Palestine.”
An abomination.
Eight years after French president Emmanuel Macron pledged to return African heritage to the continent, his government has adopted a bill facilitating the deaccession of cultural items plundered from former colonies.

The UN has determined that the “worst-case scenario of Famine is currently playing out in the Gaza Strip.”
Alex DeWaal and @tomdannenbaum.bsky.social call for all States to fulfill their moral, legal, and basic human imperatives now by ensuring comprehensive humanitarian action.
The ICC Pre-Trial Chamber has found that Hungary failed to comply with its obligations under the ICC Statute by not arresting Benjamin Netanyahu when he was in Hungary.
The Court refers the matter of Hungary’s non-compliance to the Assembly of States Parties.
There is, undoubtedly, much to say about the ICJ’s landmark advisory opinion on Obligations of States in respect of Climate Change. In this post, Julian and I begin by unpacking the Court’s treatment of the sources of international law governing climate change and how those sources interact.
"Das größte Problem der Welt vor dem höchsten Gericht der Welt" - heute verkündet der Internationale Gerichtshof sein Gutachten zum Klimawandel. Es wird klären wozu Staaten im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel verpflichtet sind und welche rechtlichen Konsequenzen es gibt, wenn sie dem nicht nachkommen.
