Proud to be a part of this lawsuit against President Trump’s Executive Order targeting the International Criminal Court, which has broad and sweeping implications, including on free speech, for all of us who work with the Court. 1/4

Important work here by @akilarad.bsky.social "Radhakrishnan said she was bringing the case “to prevent my own government from punishing me for trying to hold the #Taliban accountable for its systematic violence against women and girls from #Afghanistan”." I support these courageous plaintiffs

So proud of my colleagues @akilarad.bsky.social and Mathew Smith and grateful for the tireless work of the ACLU in standing up for the rule of law and opposing US sanctions against the ICC. www.aclu.org/cases/smith-...

Today @washulaw.bsky.social is hosting a symposium on the crimes against humanity treaty. Looking forward to speaking about its potential to advance gender justice, including the codification of gender apartheid. Join the conversation @ 12:00 CST: wustl.zoom.us/j/94469285428. #CaHTreatyNow

At the #UNSC, @azadah.bsky.social describes how the Taliban have erased women so thoroughly that they are suffocating in their homes, banned from even looking out the window. "We, the women of #Afghanistan, call this gender apartheid."

30 years since Beijing. Are we moving forward, or slipping dangerously backward? In our first “Where is the Justice?” interview, @akilarad.bsky.social reminds us what's at stake. 👉 Read the full interview here: 4genderjustice.org/our-latest-p...

Curious about what the 6th Committee decided on the crimes against humanity treaty, how they got there & what's next? @leilasadat1.bsky.social & I unpack the drama & the details @justsecurity.org: justsecurity.org/105305/cah-tre… And on their podcast: buzzsprout.com/2074610/episod #CaHTreatyNowow

Thank you @justsecurity.org for having us on to discuss the excitement and drama of last Friday’s decision to move to a #CaHTreatyNow. @leilasadat1.bsky.social and I unpack the discussions, the way forward and why it’s so important for victims around the world.

A bright spot in an otherwise dark time for international law: the Sixth Committee adopts resolution moving the draft treaty on Crimes Against Humanity to negotiations. Thanks so much @akilarad.bsky.social @leilasadat1.bsky.social @globaljusticec.bsky.social for your tireless advocacy! ⚖️

So much drama! So glad to be in this fight with you @akilarad.bsky.social

Our chronicling of the process to date. Stay tuned for an update next week to highlight the extraordinary process leading to the adoption of the consensus resolution cosponsored by 99 states. #CAHTreatyNow

Some tough negotiations & drama, but 6th Comm was able to decide to move to negotiations by consensus. Prep comms in 2026 & 2027, negotiations in 2028 & 2029. A lot of hard work ahead to make sure we get a progressive treaty that meaningfully protects victims, but onwards! @leilasadat1.bsky.social

Today, the UNGA 6th Committee has an opportunity to take a step to close a 75 year old legal gap by moving the draft crimes against humanity treaty to negotiations. This is a crucial opportunity to advance global justice, including for gender-based crimes. #CaHTreatyNow

This is scandalous & shameful. The leader of the biggest party, part of the ruling coalition, announcing a visit to #Netanyahu, because they're friends. We are the ICC HOST COUNTRY. NL has helped build (and paid for!!!) the #ICC for the past 3 decades. #Nederland #Israel #PVV nos.nl/artikel/2545...

Ultimately the gen z anti abortionists dress up their anti-woman ideology on tik tok & with human rights language… but ultimately they believe in enforced pregnancy & forcing women to give birth with no consideration for women’s lives, hopes & rights.

In Feb & March 2024, @akilarad.bsky.social & I traveled to Latin America to visit country capitals to discuss codification of gender apartheid. Many Latin American countries have feminist foreign policy and are supportive of these efforts. www.instagram.com/p/C4a-fP-r3A...

the use of the history of Japanese internment as a manual rather than as a cautionary tale really sums up where we're at politically

I updated this list. In case useful. It doesn’t include everyone I follow. Or who I reskeet (is that a thing now?) And sure I’ve missed loads. But reflects how happy I am that lots of you are here. So much easier. go.bsky.app/8W7MRZb

I found a few international criminal justice types here - in case interested here’s my starter pack so far: go.bsky.app/8W7MRZb

Honored to have signed joint letter urging inclusion of gender apartheid among enumerated offenses in draft Crimes Against Humanity Convention, now under consideration by UN Sixth Committee endgenderapartheid.today/legal-brief....
