6 years of work, 3 universities, 25 authors—and our brainchild with Niels Blokker is now a tangible object in the physical world. "Governance of International Courts and Tribunals: Institutions, Practices, and Norms" has just been published by Oxford UP. share.google/bMYuESLBSdcA04…

Difficult to see any relevant security reason for 🇮🇱 blocking Christian leaders access to their holy sites in Jerusalem on this Palm Sunday.

It’s been 456 days since Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, was arbitrarily detained by Israeli forces. He’s been held without charge or trial, and has been subjected to ill-treatment. Israeli authorities must immediately and unconditionally release him and all Palestinians held in arbitrary detention. Take action: bit.ly/4lWgfgd #FreeDrHussamAbuSafiya ✊

Life under occupation in the West Bank. You cannot unsee this. These are not "just" settlers running amok. The only answer is accountability.

U.N. experts demand Israel release prominent Gaza doctor after severe torture. Dr. Abu Safiya, who has been in Israeli detention since December 2024, is in a "dire" health condition, United Nations experts warned as they called for his immediate release. @7signxx @HussamAbuSafiya

A UN expert says in a new report that Israel is systematically torturing Palestinians on a scale "that suggests collective vengeance and destructive intent" u.afp.com/SLaa

"Shameful." In an extraordinary interview, Pentagon whistleblower @WesJBryant sounds the alarm about what he calls a lack of concern for civilian casualties by the US in Iran. He was part of a Pentagon unit tasked with mitigating civilian harm, but it was gutted last year in government cuts. Worth watching in full.

Israel is deploying the same deadly playbook it used in 2024 in Lebanon to kill dozens of health workers and devastate healthcare services. Healthcare workers are risking their lives to save others. Under international humanitarian law, hospitals, medical facilities, and ambulances are protected and cannot be treated as targets. Unproven accusations about military use do not strip them of protection. Doctors, nurses, and paramedics cannot be targeted based on affiliation with a political party that has a military wing, and attacking them may amount to war crimes. Protecting healthcare is not optional — it is a binding rule of war.

🌙✨ Eid Mubarak As we mark the end of Ramadan, we join Muslim communities in celebrating Eid al-Fitr — a time of reflection, compassion, and renewal. Eid reminds us of the values that also guide our work: justice, dignity, and care for one another. At a time when many families continue to seek truth, accountability, and healing, these values matter more than ever. May this day bring peace to homes, strength to communities, and hope to those still waiting for justice. 🕊️ Eid Mubarak. #EidMubarak #JFJUpdates #HumanRights

The wife of Dr. Hossam Abu Safieh is pleading with the world to intervene urgently to save his life, asserting that "his only crime was saving the lives of the wounded," and demanding immediate action before he dies in prison. Don't let this become just another news item; talk about it.

An ICC judge says sanctions imposed by the Trump administration are punishing her for carrying out her judicial duties, leaving her facing visa bans and financial restrictions. The measures came after the ICC issued arrest warrants for Israeli PM Netanyahu.

#IranWar‌ How does the newly invented IHL principle of fun relate to the old established principles of distinction, precaution, and proportionality?

Newly released footage shared by a British recruit who served at aid distribution sites run by the #Gaza Humanitarian Foundation exposes the aid system designed by Israel in cooperation with the United States to humiliate Palestinians. Nearly 2,000 Palestinians were killed at the foundation’s distribution points in incidents that included shooting “for fun,” according to the recruit.
