In my latest @opiniojuris.bsky.social piece, I analyse the recent ICJ’s decision in the Sudan v. UAE Genocide Case. The case spotlights tensions between erga omnes partes obligations and Art. IX reservations – and what they possibly mean for third-party interventions. Comments are much welcome! :)

b) if the case is considered admissible, difficulties may arise regarding the methodology for 'transferring' any possible money awarded as just satisfaction re Article 41 to the individual's family or next of kin.
Some (possible) procedural hurdles: a) prior exhaustion of domestic remedies still applies to inter-State cases, especially those resembling individual cases or those filed 'à la' diplomatic protection; also, Slovakia appears not to allege an administrative practice;
New inter-State case filed before the ECtHR! It seems a classical 'diplomatic protection-like’ case, though still relevant: after a busy period with inter-State cases, the Court last received its last Article 33 claim over a year ago, re Ireland v. UK (III). More to see, I guess!

Excited to share my piece on the ICJ's judgment on preliminary objections in the Azerbaijan v. Armenia case has been published on EJIL:Talk! :) I tried to expand the discussion on whether environmental harm may constitute racial discrimination under CERD. Huge thanks to the Editorial Team!
