Yesterday, I posted an article I wrote on why we need an international treaty addressing Crimes Against Humanity.

#CallToActivism -- Nationalism is inherently tied to the desire for power. GOP's War on America is NOT a made-for-TV 'reality' show. The GOP's War on America involves wilful torture, inhumane treatment, destruction of our democratic norms, institutions, and legal processes. See #AtrocityCrimes

2/12 The new "standing group on atrocity crimes" emerges from growing concern that such crimes are spreading as international law loses its purchase globally—not just specific conflicts like Gaza or Xinjiang.

Trump should never be referred to as 'commander in chief.' That title belongs to the President. He isn't a president - The occupant of the Oval Office is a #CultLeader. —a small-brained fucking-tyrant committing #atrocitycrimes.

I was born in 1944 - I never imagined #atrocities occurring again, especially here in America. But here we are in 2025, and most Americans still have no clue. No clue at all.
No society is immune to the risks of #atrocitycrimes.

#AtrocityCrimes: Systematic violence against civilian populations. No society is immune to the risks of atrocity crimes. Atrocity crimes are preventable - never justified.

I don't have names, but it is necessary to keep the spotlight
on #AtrocityCrimes: 'Systematic violence against civilian populations.'

☑️Patriotism is, by its nature, defensive.
👉Nationalism is enmeshed with the desire for power.

If you are interested in my latest paper out with @crimjustjournal.bsky.social this piece reflects the role of forensic exhumations as transitional justice mechanisms and their potential for social and symbolic redress in post-Franco Spain #transitionaljustice #exhumations #atrocitycrimes

Belgian PM says that Netanyahu would not be arrested if he came to Belgium either

Oh #Belgium. What are you doing? We will lose any hope to have any rule of law for #AtrocityCrimes, and it will be due to idiotic bullshit like this, and the selectivity. Shortsighted. Foolish. We will come to regret it. #Accountability #ICC

If this ends up never being thoroughly investigated and prosecuted, the entire #ICL #Accountability community can pack up and go home. We close shop. #Justice #AtrocityCrimes

UK urged to probe spate of Chinese flights for forced labor Three new routes connecting China’s Xinjiang province to major U.K. airports have opened up since last summer.

Woefully inadequate: #TitanAirways & #Europeancargo merely “vigilant” re #UK #ModernSlaveryAct. Companies should immediately make public their #humanrights #dueduligence strategies for not worsening #China govt #atrocitycrimes agains #Uyghurs. Or didn’t they bother?

Prof jennifer trahan advocates strongly for prohibition of use of #veto in #UNSC regarding atrocity crimes - she says use of the veto in this context has been rampant - esp by Russia, China and USA. #atrocitycrimes #P5

It was inspiring to hear HE Dr Fatou Bensouda, former ICC Chief Prosecutor at Gray’s Inn on 'Defending the Rule of Law: Global Challenges and the Role of the International Criminal Court' at the Bar Counsel 2024 International #RuleofLaw Lecture #consistency #atrocitycrimes

He Made a Daring Escape From China. Then His Real Troubles Began. He fled brutal repression — only to discover, as so many Uyghur refugees have, that China’s power stretches far beyond its borders.

Want to make sure this intensive reporting from #NyrolaElima #BenMauk #NYT resonates here, too. Painstaking work shows ongoing #China govt #atrocitycrimes targeting #Uyghurs, others, but also its equally brutal pursuit of those who try to flee.

Early Warning in Atrocity Scenarios Must Account for the Effects of Technology, Good or Bad Atrocity-prevention systems developed before the spread of new technologies need to more systematically account for their impacts.

Rapid #tech advances, especially digital and cyber, are reshaping the dynamics of #AtrocityCrimes.

Federica D'Alessandra and Ross Gildea outline the need for more systematic study of the impacts on early warning:

Coming from a place with such a complex history, I’ll be sharing thoughts on these topics and more related to the post-Yugoslav space. Would love to hear from others working in similar fields or anyone interested in these issues.
