@SaraAfshar Barely on this place these days, because of the unhinged Musk (am at Bluesky) but… thank you!, for highlighting that, yes disconnect is truly horrific. We all knew Trump was bad, but I never thought he & his malign JD sidekick could ever stoop quite so low

I was reading @stevecrawshaw's book 'Prosecuting The Powerful' last night. It begins with #Bucha, a commuter town in #Ukraine, but now known to most due to the atrocities Putin committed there. Steve focused on the victims, a moving reminder of the horrors done to Ukrainians 1/2

Putting a country's leader on trial once seemed unimaginable, but as @stevecrawshaw describes the possibilities of justice have been transformed . . .

I'm looking forward to reading this v timely book by @stevecrawshaw who gave an inspiring speech last night about the moral courage it takes to bring war crimes perpetrators to justice. I woke up to media hesitating to call Trump's plan for #Gaza what it is - a war crime.

I am mostly now at the Other Place. But/and: many thanks @KenRoth !, and back at you: I look forward very much to reading yours on partly intersecting themes in difficult times
Kenneth Roth@KenRoth
In his new book, "Prosecuting the Powerful," @SteveCrawshaw traces the history of international justice and shows why, despite inevitable transgressions, the possibility of bringing perpetrators to justice is growing. theguardian.com/books/2025/jan…

Thank you to so many people who helped make this book what it is. Out 6 February — more about this in weeks and months to come, in the other place.

@PhilipGrant40 @njtmulder Thank you @PhilipGrant40 for kind words!, proper response over at the Other Place. Meanwhile: am feeling grateful to ICC judges today, in different ways

@njtmulder And of course @stevecrawshaw's "Prosecuting the Powerful: War Crimes and the Battle for Justice" (out in Feb 2025), which I feel make for a fascinating read for both experts and the wider public.

Moving memories of the brilliant & generous Paul Lowe, photographer for the ages. RIP
Balkan Insight@BalkanInsight
Paul Lowe will, naturally, be remembered for his work and the quality and significance of it. His outstanding contribution, as an award-winning photojournalist and as an academic, has, after all, left a significant legacy. Read more: balkaninsight.com/2024/10/16/rem…

This one was tough to write. I’ve edited Kim for more than a decade, with him covering all corners of the world. His job was never to make mine easy - he was always the first to head to a frontline. But he did so with humour and his reporting was superb.

Western liberal politicians and media like to blame Netanyahu for everything that's wrong in Israel. That is a false and dangerous notion. All Zionist "opposition" parties (Gantz, Lapid) and President Herzog condemning Khan just shows Israelis either deny or justify war crimes

Huge congratulations to @Trial and all those they have worked with to get this result — important not just for itself but what it can herald for future
