If international law is more than just a legal theory, countries like Canada need to find the political will to prosecute perpetrators of the worst human rights crimes in their own courts. Without justice, universal jurisdiction is a hollow promise.

Impunity 101 Good news: Canada ruled against a Guatemalan ex-military officer, calling his actions in the 1982 #DosErres massacre “crimes against humanity.” Bad news: Canada refused to use its own War Crimes Act, so the ruling strips his citizenship and kicks him out of Canada.

Building the first library during the genocide Week Six may be the busiest week. You might think it’s the most important, but for us, building and planting roots is what truly matters. This has always been the philosophy that guided our lives. This achievement and hard work are seeds planted in rock—defying pain, hardship, and every obstacle. Among the most important accomplishments of this week: we installed all the bookshelves to hold the largest possible number of books, creating fertile ground for every seed that longs to grow freely. We also installed a projector to facilitate education for all levels, and set up a sound system so the teacher’s voice can reach every corner of the space. Several obstacles remain, most notably the scarcity of books and the high cost of paper, which makes printing extremely difficult. We kindly ask everyone to join us by donating or sharing the campaign, so we can purchase and print as many books as possible. Thank you to every person who believed in us and contributed to the success of our project. chuffed.org/project/firstg…

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

The U.S. government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 incidents since the start of Trump’s second term. Americans have been kicked, dragged and held for days without access to lawyers: propub.li/47D7mBd
