Out tomorrow:

Hague Humanity Hub & reacted to it in REAL TIME!

We discuss how interpreters at intl trials can be impacted by what they hear from victims + perpetrators

Coming tomorrow: We are getting our heads around the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine. But there’s still a lot of detail to be ironed out.

Andriy Kostin, now ambassador in The Hague explains why Kyiv needed this Special Tribunal agreed.

Out tomorrow: Why do states bring cases to the ICJ - even when there’s no jurisdiction? @drnajimagi.bsky.social helps run though the current caseload. Plus with the genocide cases against Myanmar and Israel, are states trying to be useful or just delaying when they make additional interventions?

Out tomorrow We are exploring the largest permanent saltwater lagoon in #Europe, Mar Menor in #Spain. Why? Because it’s the first ecosystem to be granted legal personhood in Europe. And now it’s also likely to be the first ecosystem to be represented at the European Court of Human Rights.

ICYMI: The ICC held it's first in absentia hearing last week on Joseph Kony — its first-ever indictee, still at large after 20+ years.

Why is the ICC holding an in absentia hearing against #Uganda’s rebel leader Joseph #Kony? The arrest warrant was issued 20 years ago. He can’t be found. Is the ICC likely to use this new way to remind the world of the alleged crimes against other accused?

Our first podcast of the new season is out tomorrow! @drmelob.bsky.social explains how genocide scholars have come to the overwhelming consensus that Gaza is facing genocide and what that means legally for states under the Genocide Convention.
