Professor @leilasadat1.bsky.social is excited to participate in @amnesty.org's 2nd Global Webinar: The Start of Formal Negotiations on a Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes Against Humanity. It is sure to be an exciting and informative event! amnesty-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

A few moments ago, the Sixth (Legal) Committee of the U.N. adopted a resolution to advance the Draft Articles on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes Against Humanity into formal treaty negotiations. Watch the historic decision below:

BREAKING: In a historic moment, the Sixth (Legal) Committee of the U.N. General Assembly has decided--by consensus--to elaborate a Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes Against Humanity!

The Sixth Committee has started discussing the proposed treaty on crimes against humanity. The CAH Initiative reminds States that consensus means agreement, not unanimity. And while maintaining consensus is ideal, States should take a vote if necessary. It is time to make a decision. #CAHTreatyNow

500,000+ citizens of the world agree: it's time to end impunity for crimes against humanity and elaborate a treaty on their prevention and punishment. The Sixth Committee should heed their call #CAHTreatyNow @leilasadat1.bsky.social @globaljusticec.bsky.social @hrw-fr.bsky.social @avaaz.bsky.social
