The @dailymaverick.co.za on SALC’s report re SA's arms exports & featuring SALC's @atillakisla.bsky.social: "South Africa is drifting from the rule of law into a system of selective compliance, where foreign policy expedience seemingly trumps statutory and judicial obligations." tinyurl.com/592t6u2h

Had the pleasure of speaking to @dailymaverick.co.za about the UN Commission of Inquiry report that Israel has committed and is committing genocide in Gaza and how that report impacts ongoing accountability efforts - specifically re South Africa's ICJ case

On 19 June 2025, the High Court of #Malawi recognised police brutality against a child as torture. While SALC welcomes this ruling, we continue to call for the full criminalisation of torture in line with international obligations. @atillakisla.bsky.social

Great podcast by @salitigationcentre.bsky.social on anything SA arms related. First episode discussing how SA arms could be contributing to the issue in Sudan. Important especially against the backdrop of the upcoming hearings in Sudan v UAE before the ICJ next week.
SALC’s Chikondi Chijozi explores health in prisons in various countries and notes inadequate access to health care in most African countries.
In an article by @atillakisla.bsky.social , Sudan has initiated legal proceedings against the UAE at the ICJ, accusing the UAE of supporting genocide in West Darfur through arms transfers to the RSF. Read the article here: tinyurl.com/4bfpb27m
My latest piece on the ICJ case of Sudan v UAE and why it matters to SA: Actions (of arms exports) say more than words. If SA wants to be taken seriously as a country advocating for human rights, it must change its arms exports practice drastically!
