Al-Shifa, Nasser hospital staff interviewed by #ICC investigators, in what is believed to be the first confirmation that ICC staff are speaking to medical workers about alleged war crimes committed in Gaza: aljazeera.com/news/2024/4/30…
ICC charges would "make it more difficult for Washington and London to pretend that their ongoing arming of the Israeli military is not contributing to war crimes." What will happen if the ICC charges Netanyahu with war crimes?, by @KenRoth: theguardian.com/commentisfree/… #Gaza
Maxime Mokom, a former rebel leader in the Central African Republic is seeking $4.2-million in compensation from the #ICC after the court made a failed attempt to prosecute him for war crimes. @geoffreyyork with the scoop: theglobeandmail.com/world/article-…
At the Foreign Affairs Committee's study on diplomacy, experts said Canada's double standard on international law & #Gaza undermines the global rules-based international order. Canada must end its hypocrisy. Read the @NDP’s Supplementary Opinion: ourcommons.ca/documentviewer…
EXCLUSIVE: Israeli military demolished homes to make way for US Gaza aid pier. The destruction of civilian property to make way for a politically and logistically contentious aid delivery project could violate international law: ⬇️ thenewhumanitarian.org/news-feature/2…
As the siege becomes deadlier, medical group MSF screened 46,000 children at the Zamzam camp in El Fasher. "A staggering 30% were found to be suffering from acute malnutrition -- double the emergency threshold," MSF said today, calling it "a massive, life-threatening emergency."

Court in the Central African Republic seeks arrest of ex-President Bozizé for human rights abuses (kindly citing me) apnews.com/article/centra…
🚨 This is big news👇 The Special Criminal Court in the Central African Republic has issued an arrest warrant for François Bozizé over possible crimes against humanity committed by the nation’s military between 2009 and 2013. More here: theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…

#ICJ unexpectedly short #ICJ doesn’t believe that the circumstances of the case #Nicaragua v #Germany warrant indication of provisional measures. However, the case will proceed as the finding doesn’t prejudge findings on jurisdiction & (possibly) merits
Two things: 1⃣ The #ICC's jurisdiction over Israeli atrocities in Gaza and Hamas atrocities in Israel is well-established. Any suggestion to the contrary is fake news. 2⃣ Netanyahu's strategy of hysterics & misinformation about the Court makes him look more guilty, not less.

This is disgusting, dangerous, & dehumanizes substance users 👇 This kind of thinking on substance use & addiction won't keep anyone safe. Check the stats. Read the history. Look up the numbers. It'll only keep morgues busy & fill the pockets of organized crime gangs. #cdnpoli

Doctrinal housekeeping needed. The Court really needs to sort out if and how plausibility of allegations is required to order provisional measures.

"The fact that we are not part of that enterprise is a problem bc it elicits immediately the double standards argument whenever we do try to speak w morality & with justice & rule of law - that we're not part of the game." - David Scheffer on 🇺🇸& the #ICC npr.org/2024/04/29/124…
And, as we all read long (and helpful) threads about the #ICC and Palestine, your friendly reminder that all this talk about potential arrest warrants relies on anonymous sources, whose motives are far from clear. Let's hope journalists are doing their homework

In his Declaration, ICJ Judge Tladi seeks to clarify the plausibility test for provisional measures, suggesting that it "includes whether there is a plausibility that the rights are being or have been infringed" (para. 8) 👇
ICJ Judge Dire Tladi says what we've been saying: if there was no case to be heard over alleged genocide in Gaza, the case would have been stopped in its tracks - just as Israel requested. There is a plausible case to be heard on genocide in Gaza. Period.

10) All of which leads to the most important item to clarify in Mark's thread & which many practitioners trumpet: in virtually every situation of atrocity crimes, it is high-level cooperation w/ #ICC investigations, not access to the territory in question, that is most pivotal.
11) Such high-level cooperation need not come from the territorial gov't in question either (although always very helpful!) but instead gov'ts w/ robust information-gathering capabilities & access that can provide evidence (that must be corroborated) implicating senior leaders.
12)So suffice to say that the core objectives of an atrocity crime investigation can be secured w/out access to the territory provided that supportive gov'ts w/ capacities assist the ICC in collecting linkage evidence, the most treasured part of any atrocity crime investigation.
At the Foreign Affairs Committee's study on diplomacy, experts said Canada's double standard on international law & #Gaza undermines the global rules-based international order. Canada must end its hypocrisy. Read the @NDP’s Supplementary Opinion: ourcommons.ca/documentviewer…
Sounds like the Biden administration is sticking with a compromise position of critiquing potential ICC action against Israeli officials on jurisdictional grounds (weak legal argument IMO) but it is not engaging in a broader attack on the court.
According to the US State spokesperson Vedant Patel, the United States "does not believe" the ICC has jurisdiction over Israel and its crimes but will continue to work "closely" with the same court in their work in Ukraine, Darfur, and Sudan.
Listen to this exchange between Minister @melaniejoly and MP @HMcPhersonMP in the House of Commons on the issue of sanctioning Israel. The government voted for a motion that ostensibly called for the end to military sales and the Minister has announced that end. But we must…
This is literally it, the entire explanation:
Text of the ICJ order is out. Key paragraphs below. Germany wins because it doesn't give Israel many actual weapons, and gives aid to Palestinians though organizations other than UNRWA.
I'll say more when the text drops, but basically the Court found that Germany doesn't give many "war weapons" to Israel and gives aid to Palestinians in Gaza despite not renewing aid to UNRWA. Leaves it ambiguous exactly why these "circumstances" justify denial.
Netanyahu intensifies his frontal attack on the ICC, now in a video format, evoking imminent arrest warrants—of which there're only unconfirmed rumours he helped start and spread and no credible data. He uses a toxic mix of usual denials & well-worn tropes:
Netanyahu seems determined to make every news outlet discuss *which* war crimes he may be charged with.
Important points by @MarkKersten but imo incomplete. Smt to add, which makes me disagree with @pilabuda labelling double standards as rhetoric. Mark notices Ukr accepted ICC jur since 2014, date he considers to point Ukr warrants were not faster than in Pal. But Pal also 1/
Good thread, @MarkKersten addresses some accusations of double standards with respect to Gaza 👇 While selectivity is an issue at #ICC, not all accusations are equally persuasive. I wrote a whole article about double standards rhetoric re #Ukraine, see👇 cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Last budget: Palestine was allocated 1/5 of the budget allocated to Ukraine. Preventive statements: never heard Prosecutor affirming Russian army had a well trained military, military advocate generals who know the law and had to demonstrate compliance with IHL etc... 4/
#ICJ unexpectedly short #ICJ doesn’t believe that the circumstances of the case #Nicaragua v #Germany warrant indication of provisional measures. However, the case will proceed as the finding doesn’t prejudge findings on jurisdiction & (possibly) merits
Not the 'arrest warrant news' people are waiting for, but this is huge. The Special Criminal Court in the Central African Republic has made public an arrest warrant for the former president, François Bozizé (who is currently in exile in Guinea-Bissau).
I'll say more when the text drops, but basically the Court found that Germany doesn't give many "war weapons" to Israel and gives aid to Palestinians in Gaza despite not renewing aid to UNRWA. Leaves it ambiguous exactly why these "circumstances" justify denial.
Well that was short. Nicaragua loses on the facts.

Important thread 👇
A lot of folks have (understandably) criticized the #ICC Prosecutor's office for not acting on the situation in Palestine sooner. A brief 🧵 to put the timing and duration of ICC decision-making into a bit of context.
Doctrinal housekeeping needed. The Court really needs to sort out if and how plausibility of allegations is required to order provisional measures.
In his Declaration, ICJ Judge Tladi seeks to clarify the plausibility test for provisional measures, suggesting that it "includes whether there is a plausibility that the rights are being or have been infringed" (para. 8) 👇
