When they ask what radicalised me, I'll answer 'Mavi Marmara affair' and 'Georgia v Russia II case'. Gosh, I cannot overcome my disappointing with the Office of the Prosecutor in the former and the ECtHR in the latter. Reasoning is so poor that it feels almost personal even after years 😂😂😂

The Supreme Court of Israel refers three times to my work in its recent decision on aid in Ga_za. Very disappointed that the court did not follow my reasoning that the area is still occupied, with ensuing consequences on aid. Poor judgement on law and facts. tinyurl.com/yent792v

Awful decision by the Supreme Court of Israel. I've always found curious that an organ of an occupying power should be regarded as a good faith interpreter of the law of occupation: gisha.org/en/petitione...

The ICC guarantees accountability for international crimes and gives a voice to victims worldwide. It must be able to freely pursue the fight against global impunity. Europe will always stand for justice and the respect of international law.

The plagiarism allegation against ICJ President Julia Sebutinde is not receiving the attention it deserves. It may have been her clerk's mistake, but this was judge's dissenting opinion and thus her responsibility. If she didn't write/check it, still a problem. www.middleeasteye.net/news/icj-pre...

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

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

All hostages home. Carnage over. Occupation lifted. Reparations paid. Justice delivered. This is what I hope for, but not what I think we'll see.
