(2/2) Our claim (still in a nutshell): applying parallel classification to the same parties and the same conduct of hostilities is impractical within both the #IHL and #ICL frameworks. Read the full submission: icc-cpi.int/court-record/i…

(1/2) A couple of days ago, @ALMA_IHL submitted its observations to the ICC regarding the Prosecutor's decision to use a parallel classification for the conflict in Gaza. In a nutshell: it's all about classification of conflict #IHL and #ICL

My latest op-ed argues that demands for the IDF to act out of revenge against October 7 perpetrators are wrong. They should pay the price, but only according to the law! Only civilians who are currently taking direct part in hostilities can be targeted! blogs.timesofisrael.com/idfs-targeting…

My most recent op-ed about the current conflict. In a nutshell, my main claim is that while every civilian taking a direct part in hostilities is certainly “involved,” not every “involved” civilian is necessarily taking a direct part in hostilities. blogs.timesofisrael.com/in-gaza-unveil…

Armed Conflict Classification in the #InternationalCriminalCourt Prosecutor’s Request for Arrest Warrants "The classification in the report is not a simple interpretation of the relevant rules, but an interpretive choice." By @YShereshevsky justsecurity.org/96914/armed-co…
