Interesting, though very few sources are covering US providing advance notice to Iran. Hassan Abedini said Iran evacuated the three sites a "while ago,” which could suggest prior awareness, but not necessarily US notification (could stem from other intelligence, etc.).

Ah yes, somehow Iranians are supposed to rise up as they are evacuating their homes and sleeping on blankets outside as food is rationed. A quick search tells me you grew up in the USSR but clearly you haven’t experienced war. This is so unserious.

I am lucky to call Jérôme a dear friend. His thoughts here are an important reflection that we all contend with, and I am super proud of him for standing out. Bravo, Jérôme.

As I outlined in a recent International Centre for Counter-Terrorism piece, we are edging closer to a reality in which mass unlawful internment under the guise of humanitarian camps, in one form or another, becomes the norm in Gaza

this is a fantastic new (open access) article by Carsten Stahn - on colonialism and crimes against humanity. academic.oup.com/jicj/advance-a…

On Tuesday, the Int'l Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Taliban leaders Hibatullah Akhundzada and Abdul Hakim Haqqani over crimes against women and girls. Strategic Litigation Project’s Azadah Raz Mohammad, Gissou Nia | گیسو نیا, and Alyssa Yamamoto unpack the implications: atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atla…

Hey Kevin Jon Heller, STFU until you’ve jumped out of planes man……

Add my other favourite scholars who have never jumped out of planes. Janina Dill (who you feel justified in saying doesn't get to have an opinion on IHL because she's not a qualified lawyer and wasn't in the military), Tom Dannenbaum, and & Adil Haque. How small do you feel next

Waiting for your Twitter fingers! Come on, write seven paragraphs about how you’re better than them….

At least Dr. Brian L. Cox is consistent about one thing: he doesn't think someone is entitled to an opinion on IHL unless they have "advised commanders on LOAC for real-time targeting decisions in combat." Zip it, civvies. Maybe try baking scones?

The object of Cox's rant du jour has spent most of his adult life investigating human-rights abuses in Afghanistan, Iraq, South Sudan, and Ukraine. Too bad Yousuf's opinions don't count because he hasn't "advised commanders on LOAC for real-time targeting decisions in combat."

It’s a gift to watch Tom Dannenbaum speak on #starvation. Nobody compares. youtu.be/4tdhUUZYbgY

According to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) Alert, 2 out of the 3 famine thresholds have now been breached in parts of #Gaza. 🔴Food consumption has plummeted. 🔴Acute malnutrition has risen, with malnutrition levels among children under five

One wonders why it took so long for Tom Dannenbaum and Alex de Waal to write together but at last, we have it, and it’s everything you’d expect 🙏🏼 “Human existence is based upon sharing food. The etymology of the word “companion”—someone with whom one shares bread — is just one

Thrilled to be a part of this effort at the Strategic Litigation Project!!
