ICJ President Sebutinde has been credibly accused of plagiarism, and the source is stunning: Douglas Feith was US Under Secretary of Defense and key architect of the illegal 2003 Iraq War. His career is defined by opposition to international law & it is unbefitting that any ICJ judge would cite him - ThreadSky

Thank you so much for bringing this discussion here!! It would be great if you could add alt-text for text to speech softwares in the future, even if it's a screen shot (in which case it's best to copy-paste everything into alt-text tbh) 🙏

I don't know that there's anything wrong with lifting a sentence in a judicial opinion from another source. Lawyers have been doing this, with and without attribution, for a long time, haven't they?
