This week Michelle Burgis-Kasthala and I are convening a symposium on Opinio Juris based on our recent JICJ symposium, Contemporary International Criminal Law After Critique Our opening post focuses on carceral internationalism in the Situation of Palestine 👇

"I argue that making an Article 15 communication enables civil society actors to engage in sociological criminalisation, pursuing a form of extralegal accountability – including for those who remain unaccountable before the ICC" Natalie Hodgson in our ICL After Critique symposium 👇


"In essence, we argue that scholars would do well to abandon the armchair and engage more closely with everyday efforts to mobilize, reconstruct, and re-imagine international criminal justice 'from below'" Great post by Daniel Bertram & George Hill on the ecocide aesthetic 👇

"I argue that... we need an abolitionist movement for ICL. This movement would ‘refuse imprisonment and policing as the main responses to mass atrocity, and instead would seek to understand the social causes and conditions that cause such mass atrocity'" Sophie Rigney 👇

"to align environmental destruction & illegal land dispossession with the ICC’s focus on physical destruction of groups, the communication had to distil Indigenous Peoples’ ways of life into a framework that reduced their land & environment to mere commodities" Giovanna Frisso👇
