The headline of at least 98 #Palestinian detainees dead may grab you, but apparently the 'Real toll is likely substantially higher as hundreds of detainees from #Gaza are missing'. There are just no words. #humanRights #IntLaw #Israel www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

At least 98 Palestinians have died in custody since October 2023, Israeli data shows. “While these policies are being applied, every Palestinian in detention is in danger, even the healthy ones, even the young ones who have no [underlying] medical issues.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Glorious 🧵

I enjoyed this story. He was interviewed on ABC Breakfast today and talked about how his outfit is made up from pieces inherited from his dad & grandad. Love that he’s 15 and has impeccable #fashion. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/w...

So, the Libyan general wanted by the #ICC for #torture, who was arrested then released by #Italy, has been arrested in #Libya... for torture, but not the same crimes he is wanted by the ICC for (which incl rape & murder), so ICC can still prosecute. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Private intelligence firm commission by #Qatar to find dirt (read: connection to #Israel) on the woman who has accused Karim Khan of sexual misconduct. (No connection found!) www.theguardian.com/law/2025/nov...

"Hundreds of #university staff have been killed, including deans and heads of department, sometimes in their own homes with their families. Thousands of students have been killed by Israeli attacks in #Gaza. Formal #education has been brought to a complete standstill." #genocide

#ICC confirmed charges of #warCrimes & #CaH against #Kony in absentia, but proceedings are in limbo 'until Mr Kony is notified of the decision upon his surrender to the Court', & he won't be tried in absentia. #intLaw www.icc-cpi.int/news/kony-ca...

#sandwichGuy found not guilty of assault. Which sounds really traumatic for the CPB agent, who apparently could 'smell the onions & the mustard'. How will he ever recover... #democracy #resist apnews.com/article/sand...

Great discussion by Sands w/Oli Simic about her new book on Biljana Plavšić, which is an important exposé of a genocidaire & war criminal; & a lesson for int crim courts to learn about guilty pleas & early release. #intLaw #Bosnia #Serbia #ICTY observer.co.uk/culture/book...

Mutasim Ali & Yonah Diamond on the #genocide in #Sudan (RSF seeking to wipe out non-Arabs). Of note: 'in the lead-up to the El Fasher takeover, #UAE ramped up cargo flights transferring advanced drones, heavy weaponry, vehicles, mortars, & ammunition to the RSF.' foreignpolicy.com/2025/11/05/h...

Hinton on our #AUS news about #USA senate candidate who had a #Nazi symbol tattooed on his chest. Hinton says his main concern is still with the right wing of US politics, where apologies over Nazi references and symbols are less forthcoming.

Ughhhh, Turkiye! #discrimination #intLaw www.ejiltalk.org/criminal-bou...

I got to visit the #SouthAfrica Constitutional Court on the weekend. A beautiful building w/so much significance in its design. Located on the site of fmr prison as a reminder of injustice & how not to corrupt the legal system. #law

#ICC judges reject jurisdictional challenge from #Duterte. But his fitness to stand trial will be assessed later. (Of course, he was perfectly healthy until his suddent health problems upon arriving in The Hague. Another old perp who will try to get away w/crimes) www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

New SR OPT report on the complicity of influential Third States in the #Gaza #genocide. Looks at sanctions, diplomatic relations, military ties, facilitation of the degradation of living conditions, economic & trade relations. Quite a few states mentioned, esp #USA, #UK, #Germany, #Italy & EU.

My thread on the #ICJ's AO ruling. #Israel has been hammered, its obligations under treaty law & CIL made clear. Honestly, nothing surprising, just the ICJ confirming #intlaw obligations. But plenty of noting of Israel's violations of intLaw. Sebutinde out in the cold as was expected.

Time for another #ICJ ruling! Advisory Opinion on Obligations of Israel in relation to the Presence and Activities of the United Nations, Other Int Organizations & Third States in & in relation to the Occupied Palestinian Territory dropping now.

I’m sharing this fund raising in support for a law student at Columbia who was suspended for #humanRights & Palestine solidarity. I’m told she’s an amazing, smart, committed student. www.gofundme.com/f/help-fund-...

Starvation, rape & murder in #Darfur. #Genocide ongoing.

"Overall mental functioning peaked btwn ages 55 & 60. Our findings may help explain why many of the most demanding leadership roles are often held by people in their fifties and early sixties. These strengths support better judgement and more measured decision-making." www.uwa.edu.au/news/article...

So it seems Hamas can’t find the bodies of remaining dead hostages because #Israel has destroyed so much of #Gaza, & in response Israel is going to starve Gazans again. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...
