This is shameful. I’m beside myself watching American elected officials try to undermine the integrity and independence of the international criminal legal system. nytimes.com/2024/06/04/us/…

What an extraordinary few days in Oslo! Very honored to have been invited to participate in this year's #OsloForum, and to lead the Forum's first-ever tabletop exercise on the digital frontlines of armed conflict.

"It is unthinkable that diplomats could gather to discuss Afghanistan in the middle of such a crisis and do so without women's rights being the main issue on the agenda and Afghan women being full participants in the discussion.” barrons.com/news/afghan-ta…

"Widespread AI use is inevitable – policymakers must move quickly to ensure fundamental rights and freedoms are protected around the world." @Jess_Peake_ introduces our new #AI and #HumanRights Symposium (with The Promise Institute for Human Rights at UCLA Law). justsecurity.org/96881/symposiu…

On June 18, UN Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett will present to UN Human Rights Council a hard-hitting report on shocking and escalating Taliban abuses against Afghan women and girls. The problem? The United Nations itself—desperate to placate the Taliban—doesn’t seem to listening to anything its own Special Rapporteur says.

🔴 TODAY at #HRC56 from 10:00 CET The Human Rights Council opens its 56th session with: - Volker Türk's annual report - #Myanmar - #Afghanistan - #Sudan

Proud to stand with the brave women & girls of Afghanistan & Iran, along with international lawyers, jurists, and human rights defenders to demand that we expand the legal definition of apartheid under international laws. Join me: #EndGenderApartheid End Gender Apartheid

“All this does is set an appalling precedent, emboldens and legitimises the Taliban and hands them a huge political win. It is a betrayal not just of Afghan women but all women around the world.” theguardian.com/global-develop…

Things are very bad right now, but I am genuinely moved by how many of my people (international lawyers) are working behind the scenes to respond. Most of their efforts will never be known. Shout out to them all.
