“Whatever one thinks of the theocratic dictatorship in Iran, the US-Israeli attacks are a clear violation of the foundational principle of the postwar legal order, which is the prohibition on the use of force except in self-defense.”
— @reedbrody.bsky.social, War Crimes Prosecutor, DAWN Board Member
"The U.N. Charter is not ambiguous," says war crimes prosecutor @reedbrody.bsky.social. "President Trump has presumptively committed … the international crime of aggression, as he did in Venezuela and just as Vladimir Putin did in Ukraine."

“Punishing ICC judges and prosecutors for doing their job — indicting alleged Israeli war crimes — is classic obstruction of justice. Under Article 70 of the ICC Statute, Trump could be prosecuted for it.”
