Excited to announce the publication of my article on the war crime of outrages upon the personal dignity of the dead in the International Review of the Red Cross (@ICRC @CambridgeUP)! Hope you take a read—comments and feedback are very welcome! cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Time and time again, the Prime Minister says the situation in Gaza is intolerable… but he keeps on tolerating it. Palestinian statehood was literally in his own manifesto, so why won’t he recognise it now? I wonder if Donald Trump is stopping him.
Spineless and disgraceful. “It's not courageous to attack the Jews. It's easy”. Ah yes, of course, criticizing Israeli forces for destroying a church is antisemitic. How could I forget
Catholic churches and Christians are regularly attacked by Islamists around the world. These events are either ignored or presented without blaming anyone. A church is hit in Gaza, and the Cardinal calls it intentional. Church leaders are quick to blame Israel (and Israel has…
Remember that Ukraine ratified the Statute with an Art 124 declaration purporting to exclude the Court’s jurisdictional over war crimes by its nationals for 7 yrs. (Shameless plug) my @opiniojuris piece from Nov on why that may not actually be the case: opiniojuris.org/2024/11/02/icc…
#ICC President Judge Tomoko Akane welcomes #Ukraine as new State Party: “By joining the #RomeStatute, Ukraine joins the community of nations committed to ending impunity for the most serious crimes of concern to the international community.”
These words mean nothing. Demand that Israel remove all restrictions on humanitarian access or impose an arms embargo + far reaching sanctions. To return to the right side of history nothing else will do, Prime Minister.
The appalling scenes in Gaza are unrelenting. The UK will pull every lever we have to get food and lifesaving support to Palestinians, and we will evacuate children who need urgent medical assistance. This humanitarian catastrophe must end.

UNESCO's founding mission: "since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed" That mission has never been more urgent.
Starvation is torture. Let no one responsible for this anathema rest until they are relegated to a prison cell.
I am sorry, friends, but this is the reality 💔 I’ve started losing consciousness from extreme hunger. I can no longer comprehend what’s happening around me—everything feels blurry, as if I’m sinking into emptiness.
Incontrovertibly a war crime. As soon as the soldier fires the shot, he simply turns away and walks off, like it's a totally normal and routine thing he has just done. How many times has he done this before? Will the IDF now promise to investigate also this "tragic accident"..?

🚨AFP issues a statement saying this is the 1st time in their entire history their journalists on the ground face death by starvation
Europeans seem to think of AC the way we think of Ozempic. It's too easy, man is supposed to suffer and you can't bypass that without incurring the wrath of the gods.

I welcome today’s decision by the Slovenian government to adopt sanctions against the extremist Israeli ministers Ben-Gvir and Smotrich. Slovenia has sent a message to 🇮🇱 and the int. community: those who reject international law & pose a threat to humanity are not welcome!
