V Vereshchagin, The Apotheosis of War (1871)

🚨HUMAN SECURITY EMERGENCY🚨 El-Fasher has fallen to RSF. HRL finds evidence of mass killings including door-to-door clearance operations and objects consistent with reported bodies on berm entrapping El-Fasher. #KeepEyesOnSudan 🛰️@AirbusSpace @Maxar https://t.co/1HApllgNL5

The regime too powerless to prevail on the battlefield, counter US sanctions on its oil companies, or overcome its dependence on China, will crack down with double force on young buskers from Stoptime for playing “foreign agents’” songs. Because THIS is something it still CAN do.

Lukoil has announced it will be selling its foreign assets. As they've been saying in Russia for the past 44 months, "Oh, what happened..."

US sanctions against ICC officials—the Prosecutor, Deputy Prosecutors, and six judges—are not just a stain on this US administration and a flagrant attack on the international rule of law, but also a crime (an offence against the administration of justice) under the ICC Statute.

140,101 – the @mediazzzona's tally of confirmed Russian causalties among the military, all named, in the war in Ukraine. Bashkortostan set the mortality record: 7,000. Putin wouldn't care even if the toll were ten times higher. This regime is a death cult. https://t.co/Icr7hiuJ6I

Unsurprising but no less absurd for that. It is not for a pariah regime that has launched and continues to wage a war of aggression against another state, commits core international crimes there daily, and brutally represses its own population, to assign such labels to anyone.

Whoever runs this account needs to educate themselves. Leaving the offensive tone and factual and legal errors aside: this "so-called" Court is the principal judicial organ of the UN. It has continuously had a US member on the bench, including Judge Cleveland who is serving now.

#GazaGenocide would have remained an inchoate endeavour had it not been for the third states' aid & assistance to Israel. This global complicity—military, political, economic & ideological backing—must entail their accountability. New report @FranceskAlbs https://t.co/Bg4hHOFinU

In case Israel needed a reminder it may not impede #UNRWA work, here's an authoritative statement of its (yes, binding) international law obligations. #ICJ Advisory Opinion on the Obligations of #Israel re the Presence and Activities of the UN etc #oPt

This won't immediately stop the war, but it's the first meaningful use of sanctions as a foreign policy instrument by US administration in the past 9 months. Treasury Sanctions Major Russian Oil Companies, Calls on Moscow to Immediately Agree to Ceasefire https://t.co/QpUTnBpolE

❗️Political prisoner Mikhail Kriger has been on a hunger strike for more than three weeks. Over a week ago, he also stopped drinking water. The Putin regime sentenced the activist to seven years in prison on fabricated charges. In prison, he is kept in isolation, repeatedly

We are deeply shocked by the horrific condition of Palestinian bodies handed over by the Israeli army after being detained during the genocide in #Gaza. Clear evidence shows that many of the victims were subjected to deliberate and brutal torture

Why the hell would the Swiss-based Inter-Parliamentary Union, for the 2nd time this year, host a delegation from a country that has no real parliament—whose members rubber-stamp the most cannibalistic laws and illegal annexations of another state’s territories? Here is your why.

The Kremlin feels threatened by (very talented and courageous) 18-year-old buskers performing songs of the 'enemies of the people'. Enough said. The popularity of the street band Stoptime and the sheer crowds they regularly attracted are very telling. Young people are fed up.

Called it a while ago: although it's still unlikely as Putin won't take the risk, we can no longer exclude the possibility of a visit to Hungary. Despite the legal obligation, Orban's regime failed to arrest ICC suspect Netanyahu and it won't arrest Putin. This is the EU problem.

Trump goes whichever way (the Putin) wind blows. That's the only thing that is consistent in his behaviour. And yet, each time people take him and his promises seriously.

Arbitrary detention or hostage-taking of Palestinian doctors by Israeli authorities must cease immediately. No reason whatsoever—legal, political, or moral—to keep them in custody.

Fantastic and compelling @nytimes @mashagessen's op-ed about the work of @FranceskAlbs, the pursuit of justice for Palestinians, and double standards in Western powers' approach to accountability. Many passages that resonate - and this is personal indeed. https://t.co/NtNgIIr9O1

"[A]ll of the Kremlin’s coercive power will be tested—not against a reform movement among a small urban elite but against simmering, unpredictable disillusionment among the regime’s own supporters and across wide swaths of the population." @ForeignPolicy https://t.co/ahLmLScSd8

📌Long opinion article by the great @mashagessen on @FranceskAlbs in the @nytimes Also an excellent reflection on the role of international law in the fight for justice (in Palestine and elsewhere). A must read — specialmente in Italia!! 👇 https://t.co/BMBQnnPIlJ
