Sharing some thoughts on ‘International law in the conflict in Gaza/Israel’: Meeting the challenges’ by Giulia Pinzauti & me, in Leiden Law School blog: leidenlawblog.nl/articles/inter…
Interviewed by Emma Graham-Harrison in The Guardian. The ceasefire v humanitarian pause debate in Gaza matters, but politically more than legally. What matters most is that civilians get the urgent protection and assistance they need amp.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov…
'Civilians that that cannot leave or do not leave are still civilians. You cannot target civilians. You cannot carry out indiscriminate attacks and you cannot carry out attacks that have disproportionate impact on civilians and civilian objects.”Helen Duffy told us

Brilliant and clear as always, Fionnuala Ní Aoláin spells it out: 'The lesson from 9/11 is don't do what was done after 9/11. Observe law. Uphold law. No matter how egregious an attack is, it is not a justification for the breach of IHL' 1/2
A valuable new report on #universaljurisdiction in the UK, addressing barriers to justice also relevant elsewhere. Lots to learn from and improve on. Thanks for great work REDRESS & Clooney Foundation for Justice Rupert Skilbeck
Day 2 of the US ICCPR review in Geneva opens with the US delegation answering questions HRC members posed at the end of day 1. Nobody on the delegation addresses Marcia V. J. KRAN's Qs about GTMO, post-9/11 US torture, or US use of lethal force outside recognized armed conflict.
