A bright spot in an otherwise dark time for international law: the Sixth Committee adopts resolution moving the draft treaty on Crimes Against Humanity to negotiations. Thanks so much @akilarad.bsky.social @leilasadat1.bsky.social @globaljusticec.bsky.social for your tireless advocacy! ⚖️

Some tough negotiations & drama, but 6th Comm was able to decide to move to negotiations by consensus. Prep comms in 2026 & 2027, negotiations in 2028 & 2029. A lot of hard work ahead to make sure we get a progressive treaty that meaningfully protects victims, but onwards! @leilasadat1.bsky.social

Today, the UNGA 6th Committee has an opportunity to take a step to close a 75 year old legal gap by moving the draft crimes against humanity treaty to negotiations. This is a crucial opportunity to advance global justice, including for gender-based crimes. #CaHTreatyNow

This is scandalous & shameful. The leader of the biggest party, part of the ruling coalition, announcing a visit to #Netanyahu, because they're friends. We are the ICC HOST COUNTRY. NL has helped build (and paid for!!!) the #ICC for the past 3 decades. #Nederland #Israel #PVV nos.nl/artikel/2545...

the use of the history of Japanese internment as a manual rather than as a cautionary tale really sums up where we're at politically
