Notre Dame works to defend peace, human rights & the rule of law everyday. Last night, less than an hour from us, Indiana carried out an execution. The first in almost 15 years. Re-dedicating to making it the last.

@aurelsari @BCFinucane @LeilaFadel He referred to CCW II & his view it applies in Lebanon. The more emphatic ban on booby traps is in peacetime human rights law prevailing in the absence of armed conflict hostilities. See the ILA Report: https://t.co/IOPXWqEMMV

War is still avoidable if Lebanon/Hezbollah respect international law that bars pointless responsive uses of force. USA back up the law by achieving a ceasefire now

“The drafting of that treaty [on autonomous weapons systems] is a golden opportunity for law to recapture war and peace”
@OConnell_IntLaw at the 2024 Vienna Conference on AWS

[Stop Killer Robots @BanKillerRobots]

"There's real consensus and urgency for a treaty and even what the content of what that treaty is going to be... the drafting of that treaty is a golden opportunity to reconsider and recapture authentic int'l law in the war and peace area." - @OConnell_IntLaw

@aurelsari @AdHaque110 The US & UK consistently under appreciate the meaning of presumptions to expand the target set.

[Manchester International Law Centre @MILC_UoM]

We are looking forward to this with @OConnell_IntLaw talking about international law, use of force and peace. @law_uom & @HCRInstitute

[Mary Ellen O'Connell @OConnell_IntLaw]

@aurelsari @AdHaque110 No--you cannot attack with doubt that the target is military. Presumption means doubt is resolved in favor of civilians. If the attacker has knowledge of a military target assuring no disproportionate impact on civilians is more subjective.
