Hands down, there's no more deserving candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize than the UNSR Albanese. Awarding it to her would send a strong and meaningful message to those in power, who despise international law and harass human rights advocates – while coveting the very same prize.

Solidarity with Francesca. ✊🏽 The Trump 2.0 sanctions are misogynistic: 5 women—4 ICC Judges and 1 UN Special Rapporteur v. one man (ICC Prosecutor)—have been designated, whereas the Trump 1.0 sanctions were racist: only ICC officials from The Gambia and Lesotho were designated.

I 🧡 sensible lawyers as much as I🧡principled politicians. Right now, we need both fully engaged, 200% committed, to stopping the genocide. All eyes must remain on Gaza, where children are dying of starvation in their mothers’ arms, while their fathers and siblings are bombed

Allowing the "Putin conductor" #Gergiev's concert to go ahead in 🇮🇹would be appalling and unconscionable—a slap in the face to the thousands of victims of the Putin regime's aggression and international crimes in Ukraine and beyond. The Anti-Corruption Foundation's right to call for its cancellation.

"Fearing for his own political survival, Netanyahu hitched his fate to the dreams of Israeli extremists and prolonged the war to sustain their support." The New York Times on how Netanyahu pursued the extension—and expansion—of war to stay in power and out of jail. nytimes.com/2025/07/11/mag…

The government accused Haaretz.com of “blood libel,” and a populist mayor even threatened to “ban” us. But the truth is always stronger: So here is a soldier’s testimony, this time elsewhere (Ynet), about the awful shootings at unarmed crowds near Gaza food distribution centers

An attempted put-down by an IR disciplinary ideologue and sovereignty absolutist wasn't on my bingo card. When a state binds itself to an int'l treaty—in the exercise of its sovereignty, no less!—it becomes bound by it. The US is bound by the UN Charter & 1946 Convention. IL101.

One way to support Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt is to read, circulate, cite, quote, and teach the rigorous reports she has written on self-determination, carceral system, child rights, genocide, and corporate complicity. Here is a list:

Selective blindness to genocide Can the memory of the victims of the Srebrenica genocide truly be honoured while turning a blind eye to the ongoing genocide in Gaza? There is little point in remembrance and knowledge if they are not acted upon by those in positions of influence.

Statements on the #SrebrenicaGenocide anniversary are merely performative if accompanied by silence about and blindness to the unfolding #GazaGenocide. What's the point of not forgetting and staying vigilant if not to do all within one's power to prevent & halt future genocides?

The EU is pretending to be asleep at the wheel. It has failed to amend the EU Blocking Statute to protect the ICC in nearly half a year now. It must urgently move from words to meaningful action: amend the Statute to protect Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt and ICC officials against US sanctions.

The personal toll attacks—from unlawful sanctions to politicised attacks to online abuse from ill-wishers and trolls—are causing human rights defenders and justice advocates is enormous. This kind of torment is not talked about enough, and far from enough is done to protect them.

"Don't worry," they said. "We have a great team." = Don't bother us: we know exactly what to shine a light on and what to keep in the dark.

These were Palestinian children. Again and again. Abominable — a deliberate policy and a wholesale pattern of such "technical errors". Any accountable government would have resigned long ago. But not the Netanyahu war cabinet.
