One of the most powerful reads in a while. One to sit with.

Writing-wise, it’s the calm before the storm for me. And it feels STRANGE. Between that and the news cycles I’m so incredibly restless.

Oracy isn't just for children. We do it intergenerationally every time we listen to our elders.

The ICC warrants are very late but there is no doubting the significance. A very emotional moment hearing the news today, I hope it marks the beginning of the end of impunity. The solidarity movement is making it impossible for legal structures to turn a blind eye anymore.

Congratulations everyone! And lovely to see MAVIS on this list, Lu Fraser (…is here on Fridays!) & Sarah Warburton! 🐓

'There is no conflict that should be excluded from the reach of the law; no child’s life valued less than another’s. The law we apply is humanity’s law, not the law of any given side. It must protect all the victims of this conflict; and all civilians in conflicts to come.'

Amal Clooney announces the conclusions of the Panel of Experts in International Law, convened by Karim A. A. Khan KC to advise on Int'l Criminal Court arrest warrant applications for crimes in Israel and Palestine. Read her Financial Times oped. ft.com/content/aa2089…

I fully take back criticism of Amal
Clooney for not speaking publicly about Gaza. She couldn’t as she was involved with the proceedings.

Let the ICC arrest warrants against Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant be only the start.

If I was a British government minister who permitted the supply of weapons to a state committing genocide, I would be taking legal advice today.

Today will go down in the history of international law. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has applied for arrest warrants against Netanyahu & Gallant and Sinwar, Deif & Haniyeh. It's a game changer in global politics & the Israel-Palestine conflict.🧵 icc-cpi.int/news/statement…

Finally. Beyond overdue.
