Here is the permanent link to my inaugural lecture. Global Security: Is Law Our Last Hope? youtube.com/watch?v=PcrzgZ…
“Law cannot make up for the lack of political moral courage of leaders who refuse to apply it.” Inspiring lecture by Dame Louise Richardson Chair @JaninaDill @BlavatnikSchool on the role of law in promoting global security as a moral goal.
A year ago, the ICJ found that Israel is under a legal obligation - to bring to an end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as rapidly as possible - to cease immediately all new settlement activities, and to evacuate all settlers Instead:

Another mass shooting of starving civilians seeking aid. Military and civilians superiors who fail to prevent war crimes share individual responsibility for them.
UN officials say a WHO guesthouse was struck 3x before IDF entered, separating families, men from women. Men were strip-searched and interrogated at gunpoint, while women were forced to evacuate with their children. washingtonpost.com/world/2025/07/…
2 UN guesthouses have been hit in Deir al-Balah, despite all parties to the conflict knowing the locations. One of the facilities was targeted by Israeli tank fire only 4 months ago, killing a staffer. UNOPS says there were 13 people there this time. No injuries reported.
The outrageous treatment of United Nations staff by Israel
.@WHO’s staff residence in Deir al Balah, #Gaza, was attacked three times today as well as its main warehouse. Israeli military entered the premises, forcing women and children to evacuate on foot toward Al-Mawasi amid active conflict. Male staff and family members were…
"There is no case since WW2 of starvation that has been so minutely designed and controlled" Famine expert Alex de Waal on Israel deliberately starving an entire civilian population
"We are calling for a rapid, immediate influx of basic goods into Gaza. The situation is so dire: we need so much more food, we need medical equipment, we need supplies." Jacob Kurtzer, communication coordinator in @ICRC_ilot, shares 👇🏽 ms.spr.ly/6018sDgam
"Israel is dismantling what remains of life in Gaza"
With aid dwindling and relocation zones expanding, Israel is dismantling what remains of life in Gaza — one street, one tent, one bucket of water at a time. Western leaders must act. Stop the forced relocations. Open all crossings. Let aid in — without limits. Allow…
Dass die Staatsraison nicht tauglich ist das Völkerrecht auszuhebeln & dass unsere deutsche historische Verantwortung der israelischen Zivilgesellschaft, die Recht und Demokratie verteidigt gilt, nicht der Regierung Netanyahu, sollte doch eigentlich klar sein...
.@BR_Presse interviewed ELAC's @JaninaDill on how Germany’s support of Israel stands in tension with international law and how neither historical responsibility nor “Staatsraison” can override Germany’s legal obligations. 🔗br.de/radio/live/bay…
📍 DRC We stand ready to help facilitate the release of people detained in relation to the conflict under a declaration agreed between the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the Congo River Alliance/M23 Movement (AFC/M23). News release ▶️ ms.spr.ly/6011s8lLX
WFP is usually quite circumspect in statements regarding Israeli attacks. Here, the agency clearly states how the killing of around 80 Palestinians unfolded yesterday: "As the convoy approached, the crowd came under fire from Israeli tanks, snipers and other gunfire," it says.
WFP Statement | #Gaza On the morning of 20 July, a 25 truck WFP convoy carrying vital food assistance crossed the Zikim border point destined for starving communities in northern Gaza. Shortly after passing the final checkpoint beyond the Zikim crossing point into Gaza, the…
Let no one say, they didn't know. edition.cnn.com/2025/07/20/mid…
"Four-year old Razan Abu Zaher gave up her fight for life on Sunday." "She died at a hospital in central Gaza from complications brought on by hunger and malnutrition, according to a medical source. Her skeletal body was laid out on a slab of stone."
“I’ve been searching for something to feed my children but there is nothing”. Daily 🆘 messages are coming in from our starving @UNRWA colleagues, every day. How can one respond to such messages of despair? Shames me & doubles the sense of helplessness. All man made, in…
If there ever was a moral and legal imperative.
UNRWA has enough food for the entire population of #Gaza for over three months stockpiled in warehouses–including this one in Al Arish, Egypt–awaiting entry. The supplies are available. The systems are in place. Open the gates, lift the siege, allow UNRWA to do its work and…
