[Egypt’s Former PR to the UN in NY @EgyptPRNewYork]

استضافت البعثة المصرية ندوة نظمتها بالمشاركة مع اللجنة الدولية للصليب الأحمر وبعثات سويسرا والمكسيك وسنغافورة للاحتفال بإطلاق الشرح الفقهي المحدث الصادر عن الصليب الأحمر لاتفاقية جنيف الرابعة بشأن حماية الأشخاص المدنيين في وقت الحرب المبرمة في عام 1949، وهو الشرح الذي يحظى بقيمة فقهية كبيرة ويعد مرجعية أساسية لفهم القواعد الحامية للمدنيين أثناء النزاعات المسلحة، بما في ذلك في حالات الاحتلال.

وقد حرصت مصر على استضافة هذه الحدث والمشاركة في تنظيمه انطلاقاً من إيمانها الراسخ بمبادئ القانون الإنساني الدولي ورسالته السامية ودعمها المستمر لعمل اللجنة الدولية للصليب الأحمر بوصفها جهة محايدة لها دور جليل في تعزيز حماية المدنيين أثناء النزاعات المسلحة.

وقد افتتح الحدث الجانبي وكيلة سكرتير عام الأمم المتحدة للشئون القانونية ورئيسة اللجنة الدولية للصليب الأحمر، وشارك فيه كمتحدثين كل من المستشار القانوني لوزارة خارجية سويسرا، والمستشار القانوني لوزارة خارجية المكسيك، وسفيرة جمهورية سنغافورة للقانون الدولي ومرشحتها لمحكمة العدل الدولية، والمستشار القانوني للجنة الدولية للصليب الأحمر، والبروفيسور دابو آكاندي من جامعة أوكسفورد ومرشح المملكة المتحدة لمحكمة العدل الدولية، بالإضافة إلى البروفيسور د. محمد هلال الوزير المفوض والمستشار القانوني بالبعثة المصرية.

Thanks to all the speakers and participants, we jointly remembered the efforts made by our predecessors 55 years ago and reaffirmed the importance of FRD, which many pointed out to be probably impossible to adopt by consensus in the current UNGA.

[Japanese Mission UN @JapanMissionUN]

On Oct 29, we held a symposium celebrating the 55th anniversary of the Declaration on Principles of International Law Concerning Friendly Relations, where Amb YAMAZAKI & USG Hammarskjöld gave remarks, followed by a panel discussion w/int'l law experts

International Law Week(ILW) is approaching. 🇯🇵will organize an event for Member States to celebrate 55 years from UNGA’s adoption of the “1970 Friendly Relations Declaration”. ILW missed 50 year’s anniversary due to COVID. So, why not celebrating 55 years? https://t.co/PZZbEZGwnd

This small book “Toward Stronger Rule of Law Against Attempts to Acquire Territory by Force - A Practitioner’s View”will be published in December. Sincerely hope that it serve as a ‘food for thought’ on this important, but actually not very mature, subject.https://t.co/zMRqHYbcch

Delighted to welcome Prof. @DapoAkandeLaw, the UK candidate to the @CIJ_ICJ, to Egypt's mission to the UN. Prof. Akande is a phenomenal jurist, who is deeply committed to the rule of law. I've always benefited from his scholarship and generosity.
Good luck Dapo! @UKUN_NewYork

[Kubo Mačák @KuboMacak]

Back from New York and reflecting on the new #OEWG report: reaching consensus in today’s climate is no small thing, and those who made it happen deserve our praise. But on international law, it’s hard not to feel this was a missed opportunity.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

It is disheartening to see today that the strength of international law and humanitarian law no longer seems binding, replaced by the presumed right to overpower others. This is unworthy and shameful for humanity and for the leaders of nations.

[Mohamed Helal @MSMHelal]

Very proud to have published this article on the origins, history, and evolution of the prohibition on intervention in international law and the concept of coercion with International Law Studies, which is issued by the Naval War College, Stockton Center!

Read the latest from our Stockton Center for International Law⚖️- "Intervention, Force & Coercion" - examining coercion as an essential element of non-intervention & how bans on intervention apply in contexts such as economic sanctions & cyberoperations:

[Norway MFA @NorwayMFA]

Historic majority in the UN today. 137 countries spoke out: It is unacceptable for Israel to block life-saving support to Palestinians under occupation.

Respect for international law must be upheld. Humanitarian access is imperative. Everywhere.

The State of Palestine welcomes the adoption by the GA of a resolution requesting an advisory opinion from the ICJ on Israel’s obligations, as an occupying Power and a Member of the UN, in relation to the presence and activities of UN, third States, and int’l organizations.
