Happy to present at the SLS/BUL conference on "US & International Law in a Changing World" on Wed and Thu. I'll present on Trump administration's approach to unilateral sanctions. Great programme below:

Few places for our new International Law at Westminster event tomorrow! Book launch of Responsibility Sharing in International Refugee Law by Elisabeth Mavropoulou with Violeta Moreno Lax, David Cantor and yours truly. Info below

Dad news: just heard that Professor Paolo Picone passed away. A genious if I ever met one in our field, with wonderful articles on obligations erga omnes (unfortunately, mostly in Italian). Many will remember him for his harsh personality, but with me he has always been generous.

😍 Excited and relieved for having completed the manuscript for my forthcoming book on "Sufficient Gravity before the International Criminal Court" after seven (!) years of intense work. Now the baby is in the hands of Edward Elgar. It will be published in the first half of 2026!

– Dom­stolen på sitt beste ICJs siste rådgivende uttalelse er en lærepenge til landene som kjøpte Israels anklager mot Unrwa, sier jussnestor William Schabas.

Yesterday, the Norwegian newspaper Klassekampen has published an interview to me and Will Schabas on the ICJ advisory opinion on humanitarian aid to Gaza: klassekampen.no/artikkel/202...

Incredibly interesting ICJ advisory opinion on humanitarian aid to Gaza! A new blow to Israeli gov positions, and new material for people working on the law of occupation.

The entire Commentary is available at ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treat..., my chapter at ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treat...

The ICRC has published its fundamental Commentary to Geneva Convention IV, indispensable guidance on the protection of civilians. Grateful beyond words to Jean-Marie Henckaerts for the opportunity to contribute with a chapter on Art 54 (Judges an Public Officials). Links below

Ehm, not really. The Pre-Trial Chamber denied the possibility to appeal the decision etc...

Finally put my hands on my first edited collection! The project Justice for Atrocities: Dialogue and Encounters between Latin America and Europe is now over!

The release of the Israeli hostages is reason for immense happiness. I hope Palestinian hostages will be released too, and that the ceasefire will hold and turn into a peace with self-determination.

Great talk!

Happy to be quoted with esteemed colleagues in this article for Anadolu Agency, where I discuss international justice for Pal_estinians: www.aa.com.tr/en/africa/2-...

Great talk between Claus Kress and Gerry Simpson on the crime of aggression at LSE:

I published an open-ed in the Italian newspaper Domani to discuss why the Israe_li blockade of G_aza is illegal and why the Flotilla must be allowed to deliver its humanitarian aid: www.editorialedomani.it/fatti/flotil...

Dunno, but a former UK prime minister declaring what will happen to Palestine is not something which went terribly well before.

Long list of dictators who are his personal friends, apperently...
