Genocide prevention is not a war crime
The proportionality principle prohibits attacks causing harm to civilians or civilian objects excessive in relation to concrete military advantage.
Israel is not prohibited from attacks furthering the removal of Hamas to prevent genocide.

Always a sound methodology to make judgements about law and facts in a case after hearing the arguments of one party
At this stage, the law is on South Africa's side.
Its team made the necessary legal arguments, quite effectively.
But they also made a powerful moral appeal to the Court to follow the rules laid down in its prior cases, without fear or favor.

The naïveté belied by this post is staggering.

There is no suggestion that any one of these steps would have made a scintilla of difference to its decision to perpetrate the massacre of Jews

This statement reverses the burden of proof in a criminal trial (which always remains on the prosecution) by seeking to draw an analogy with a principle of IHL in violation of Article 22(2) of the Rome Statute.
Homes, schools, hospitals are protected.
"The burden of proving that their protective status is lost rests with those who aim the gun, the missile, or the rocket in question."
Same applies to indiscriminate rocket fire by Hamas.

15 May 1948 is a momentous day for Jews and Palestinians alike.
In this photo, my father stands on the right with his unit of “sayerim” from the 31st Battalion, Alexandroni. The photo is at Rosh Ha’ayin, scene of a bloody engagement between Iraqi forces and the IDF in June ‘48.

It’s just difficult to assess when the agreement has not been made public.

E. Jerusalem is not “Palestinian territory according to int’l law.”
Jerusalem’s status is indeterminate pending a negotiated settlement b/w
#Israel
and the
#PLO
.
This was mutually agreed by the parties at Oslo.
Zero sum statements preclude negotiations necessary for peace
Look towards
#Jerusalem
if you want to understand the whole picture. East Jerusalem is Palestinian territory according to int'l law, unlawfully annexed by Israel, colonised and its population, also Christian, subjected to forcible transfer and ethnic cleansing. Since decades. 👇

There is no misrepresentation.
I would invite Kevin to retract that assertion.
For the record,
@joshhkernn
and
@AnneHerzberg14
misrepresent my involvement in the Palestine investigation. As Special Adviser on War Crimes, I was involved in the Office's in-house evidence review; I had no role in and was not part of the Panel's review or deliberations.

I have voted option 2B in the new
@TheCriminalBar
ballot. I have voted to withdraw my labour on publicly funded defence cases.
We have taken action in a considered, moderate, and graded fashion.
Raab won’t even take a meeting.
No more.

John Quigley: “[Ukraine] could say that it considers Crimea to be part of its territory, but that it will not contest Russia’s claim.”
• Acquisition of territory by use of force? ✅
• Irredentist claims? ✅
• Double standards? ✅

Jurisdictional and admissibility hurdles aside, this is one of numerous reports since 7/10 demonstrating the OTP’s prudence in pausing before proceeding to apply for warrants in the Palestine investigation
After more than 24 hours of letting the story run freely, Qatari mouthpiece Al Jazeera deleted the page featuring their former story, which accused Israeli soldiers of allegedly perpetrating rape against Gazan women.

Yes, because all the NGOs who have so rigorously demonstrated their impartiality and concern for universal human rights since 7 October would undoubtedly use their status before the Court and ASP to ensure the proceedings are not instrumentalised.
Independent and impartial international investigations, including by the International Criminal Court, are necessary to establish the facts.

Disclosure that the report was not submitted to the Chamber has been made public by you this morning, on Twitter, as a result of our post.
If this had been known at the time the post was written, it would have been a misrepresentation. It wasn’t.
Kindly retract and refrain.
