Escalating violence in El Fasher is having an unacceptable impact on civilians, including through a drone attack on a hospital. The UK welcomes the ICC Prosecutor’s investigations into alleged crimes in Darfur. Civilians must be protected. Perpetrators must be held to account.

Great to speak with UNIRMCT President Gatti Santana about the work of the Int'l Residual Mechanism for the Criminal Tribunals of Rwanda and former Yugoslavia, what it means to be a judge and how justice is more than a judgment. Interview out soon! UK International Law #internationallaw

Thanks British School (BSN) for having me as the Mystery Reader this week. Highly recommend A Pizza With Everything On It by Kyle Scheele and Andy J. Pizza - best brush up on your astrophysics before reading to a class of 5-year-olds though

I feel very privileged to be appointed His Majesty's Ambassador to France – such a critical partner for the UK at this time of global change and a country I first lived in over 45 years ago. gov.uk/government/new…

Here at the United Nations, I am reminded why I wanted to be an international lawyer and why it is a privilege to be the UK candidate for the CIJ_ICJ. It would be an even greater privilege to serve the Court as a judge and work together to help the ICJ meet the challenges before it today.
