Today RWI and #Deloitte started our joint journey in building the world’s first ever publicly available and open access database, gathering alleged violations of international humanitarian law (www.icmd.se ). Great to work with such talented group of people.

Deportation of civilians from occupied territory is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions of 1949, to prevent the recurrence of acts such as Nazi Germany’s expulsion of populations from European countries. It is also a crime against humanity. UN experts now warns 👇 www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Tragic - The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) regrets to inform that they, ”for the first time in our history, will have to suspend ongoing and urgent US-funded humanitarian work in nearly 20 countries affected by wars” www.nrc.no/news/2025/fe...

UN experts express grave concern after U.S. President issued an Executive Action authorising sanctions on the International Criminal Court. ”The order is an attack on global rule of law and strikes at the very heart of the international criminal justice system.” www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

The growing normalization of violations of international humanitarian law poses an existential threat to the Geneva Conventions and international law more broadly. This alarming trend requires urgent collective action. This is not a theory! Read this interesting blog blogs.icrc.org/law-and-poli...

ICC urges the EU 🇪🇺 to take concrete and swift steps to protect the Court. In this regard, it was stressed that the EU 🇪🇺 Blocking Statute remains one of the most essential tools for the Court to survive any sanctions that may be imposed. - It’s now up to EU to decide! www.icc-cpi.int/news/icc-pre...

Vi lever i en tid när mänskliga rättigheter är mer utmanade än på mycket länge. Mänskliga rättigheter måste försvaras med kunskap och väl underbyggda argument. RWI biblioteket behövs, nu mer än någonsin. Regeringen bör snarast ge besked om långsiktigt stöd säger IMR. mrinstitutet.se/aktuellt/rao...

Raoul Wallenberg’s heroic actions saved thousands during the Holocaust. His legacy continues to inspire #HumanRights defenders. A roundtable during #PACEwinter2025 marked 80 years since his disappearance, reflecting on the memory and deeds of the 🇸🇪 diplomat. 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDjI...

The Government of USA decision to freeze foreign assistance affects also the work of the Raoul Wallenberg Institute’s human rights work in Kenya, Armenia and in Indonesia. This is very unfortunate as crucial work is affected. We hope the work can resume soon apnews.com/article/trum...

U.S. have the potential to disable the ICC. Individuals working for or even interacting with the Court may find themselves subject to punishment. Banks and essential service providers may find it too risky to make business with the Court - hard to comprehend! www.justiceinfo.net/en/140499-ca...

What is happening to the rule based world order! The International Criminal Court has taken measures to shield staff from possible U.S sanctions, and braces for financial restrictions that could cripple the war crimes tribunal - Just outrageous! www.reuters.com/world/intern...

Important. Today UN experts urged the US Senate to oppose a bill seeking to impose sanctions and cut funding to the International Criminal Court (ICC). I sincerely hope the Senate will reconsider. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...
