“A CSIS officer's allegation that she was raped repeatedly by a superior in agency vehicles…also triggered an investigation into her that concluded the alleged attacks were a 'misuse' of agency vehicles by the woman.”

Just gonna leave this passage from Ad Hoc ICJ Judge Kress here...

More generally, this EJIL: Talk! piece on the plausibility test in recent provisional measures orders of the ICJ is very interesting 👇

There is a real question of why the focus should be on the plausibility of the right here, check out M Becker's tweets and writings on this.

It's likely that the #ICJ 's January decision on alleged genocide in Gaza was written so that judges could have their different views included.

But we now we have Donoghue as the authoritative view while other ICJ judges (rightly) won't join talk shows to share their views. Ugh.

This would be a good time to remind people that the Genocide Convention is focused as much on *prevention* as it is *punishment* of genocide.

South Africa was clear that it had the obligation to prevent genocide in Gaza, and was fulfilling it by bringing the case to the ICJ.

FWIW, my read on this. For reasons that others have raised, the ICJ would be better off taking a clear position that plausibility at the provisional measures phase encompasses rights *and* claims. This is not a new problem. Adil Haque Holger Hestermeyer Alonso Gurmendi Dr Juliette McIntyre Nicolás Carrillo-Santarelli

Much is being said about former ICJ President Joan Donoghue's interview in BBC HARDtalk, particularly her view that the ICJ 'did not find a plausible case of genocide'. A few thoughts 🧵

Agreed: 'The former President of the ICJ should not have publicly commented on a pending case. In doing so, she has given credence to false and bad faith interpretations of the Court's provisional measures decision. This risks the integrity of the proceedings.' 👇

'The ICJ did NOT reject South Africa's genocide claims or declare than implausible' 👇

Important 🧵 on #ICJ Judge Donoghue's interview on BBC HardTalk, in which her talk made it harder to understand the case against Israel over the alleged genocide in Gaza.

The ICJ did NOT reject South Africa's genocide claims or declare than implausible (this is consistent with Judge Donoghue's remarks). One could instead think about this (i.e., plausibility of the *claim*) as a question the Court did not need to decide in granting interim relief.

For the plausibility-curious: whether the right is plausible is a totally different question from whether the claim is plausible. BUT the only logical reason for why there is a risk to the plausible right is in this case that the claim is not implausible.

Look man, there is only 'a risk of irreparable harm to the Palestinian right to be protected from genocide' if someone is plausibly threatening that right.

Re Judge Donoghue's BBC HARDtalk interview: I realize this won't satisfy many people, but there is a difference between saying (1) that the ICJ did not decide that claims of genocide are plausible (what she said) and (2) that the Court decided that such claims are NOT plausible.

The ICJ clearly believes there is a case to be heard on genocide in Gaza, finding 'a risk of irreparable harm to the Palestinian right to be protected from genocide'. If they didn't, they would have accepted 🇮🇱 request to dismiss the case from the outset. They explicitly did not.
