Fil interessant comme toujours. Mais la CPI n’a aucune juridiction territoriale en ce moment. Ca depend du nouveau gouvernement Syrien.

Thinking today of Françoise Hampson. Françoise was my first IHL teacher. She dismantled for ever my scepticism that the law could constrain conduct in war. Thank you to Başak Çalı for capturing⬇️something of what made Françoise one of a kind. Human Rights Centre ejiltalk.org/in-memoriam-pr…
