If the zeal in which influential world govts responded to Iran’s retaliatory actions were applied to the Gaza atrocities, it would save lives & consolidate real peace. Blatant double standards has become one of the greatest threats to a meaningful international rules-based order.

David Cameron: Iran attacking Israel was 'reckless'

Journalist: What would Britain do if our consulate was flattened?

David Cameron: Well, w-we would take very strong action...

Journalist: Iran would say that's what they did...

Irony is well and truly dead. Israel accuses Iran of “a flagrant violation of international law”.


Which is not even true by the way. Iran had a right of self defense following article 51 of the UN Charter after the Israeli strike on its consulate. They…

⁦Major speech by Australian Foreign Minister Senator Penny Wong⁩ calls for two-state solution for Israel & Palestine, no ground invasion of Rafah, change to Israel’s military strategy in Gaza, & hostage release. theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…

Jack Straw, 'Things have gone far too far in Israel and Gaza, and there isn't, in my view, any doubt at all that Israel is breaching international law'

'You can just see it on the ground in Gaza, and it's a tragedy for Israel as well, because they've lost the moral high ground…

A great honour to present a copy of my award-winning law PhD thesis to the Chief Justice of PNG, Sir G.Salika! It’s the 1st major academic work on the PNG judiciary. His interest to read & avail for fellow judges is immensely appreciated. I pray the thesis inspires their work.

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights handed down a landmark decision on Friday, 22 March in La Oroya v Peru. For GNHRE, SREnvironment has published an essay on this judgment and what it means for the right to a healthy environment.

I was reported & Twitter suspended my account unless I deleted the below tweet - shocking censorship of Israeli war crimes! #Gaza #WarCrimes

On the day Vanuatu makes its written submission to the ICJ, a reflection on how we got here:

Graphic footage | Al Jazeera publishes exclusive footage from an Israeli drone that was shot down by the resistance in Gaza, revealing Israeli drones deliberately targeting Palestinian civilians fleeing Khan Yunis.

The Israeli forces, utilizing the drones, continuously followed…

Everyone in the world needs to see this.

Troubling findings from the ABC journalist: “Some hearings lasted 60 seconds…I saw the judge convict some children without even once looking at them…what I saw was a conveyor belt of convicted children.”

1/ I’m an Israeli academic. My community is too silent about the ongoing war in Gaza. Here is how I see things based on reading hundreds of articles and watching thousands of videos and images about the war. This tweet chain contains my conclusions as a sort of executive summary.
