I asked three times for that. In normal conditions I'd be annoyed, but in light of the situation on the ground, I fully understand if the journalist does not have my emails as a priority...

A couple of days ago I provided my views on the illegality of the attack at the Minab school for L'Orient Le Jour. It might be even more relevant today, unfortunately I have no access to the final publication: today.lorientlejour.com/article/1497...

Glad to kick-off tomorrow this great seminar series on international humanitarian law at the University of Turin. With Federica Favuzza, I'll present on recent developments in the occupation of Pa.lestine. Thanks to Andrea Spagnolo and Gustavo Minervini for the invitation.

Israel and the US are committing again an act of aggression against Iran. There is no possible legal basis whatsoever to justify this unlawful use of force.

Proofs time! Almost done with my forthcoming book! 🤩

On my way to Valencia to attend a conference on Justice for Paləstine. I'll present on third states responsibility and the duty to prevent genocıde:
