I am happy to share that I have joined the Criminal Law Team of the @Law_Commission and the @MoJGovUK as law reform lawyer, after more than two years as Lecturer in Law at @AstonLawSchool @AstonUniversity. Excited to take part in law reform projects in the criminal justice field

My piece @AJEnglish:

Justice, in ICC Prosecutor @KarimKhanQC's case, resides in the reasoning of judges, not in the debate of diplomats.

The Judicial Panel’s conclusion on Mr Khan’s case should not be discarded because some parties find it inconvenient.

He is right. London is a fantastic city, full of life, culture, history, parks, excellent transports and no more dangerous than any other major capital (in fact, safer than many). Social inequality and poverty are the real issues to tackle to improve it. ⬇️

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

Disinformation about London has become a global industry.

The new “outrage economy” is growing - and it’s eating away at the bonds that hold our society together.

That's why I'm calling for urgent action from social media companies and government.

The High Court has held that the decision to proscribe Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000 was unlawful. This post explains the court's reasoning and discusses some potential weaknesses in it; the government has said it will appeal.

Important point considered on the adequacy of "ordinary" criminal law vs "exceptional" terrorism legislation 👇

[Adam Wagner KC @AdamWagner1]

This is the key reasoning on whether a fair balance has been struck.

The Home Secretary will I imagine argue that para 140 is not sufficiently reasoned.

When will an organisation which has carried out three terrorist acts reach "the level, scale and persistent that would justify the application of the criminal law measures that are the consequence of proscription, and the very significant interference with Convention rights consequent on those measures"?

And the HS will probably argue that is a national security decision which is for her to decide, or at least very significant weight be given to her assessment, which is grounded in Parliament''s definition of terrorism under the Terrorism Act 2000.

It will be a very interesting appeal! Certainly raises issues of fundamental rights and the extent to which the HS's powers to proscribe are restricted by human rights law.

@Antonio_Tajani Come potrebbero, d'altra parte, le posizioni di una Relatrice Speciale ONU rispecchiare quelle del governo italiano? È una frase insensata da un punto di vista logico, prima che giuridico. La logica, come il diritto internazionale, vale fino a un certo punto.

Interesting development after years of debating, though I am not convinced that a separate homicide offence is the appropriate way to tackle deadly violence against women and acts as an effective deterrent

Very sad to learn of the passing of Prof Conor Gearty, who was my PhD external examiner.
He was not just a towering figure in human rights law (and beyond) but also an approachable and fun person.
This excerpt from his report on my PhD thesis has always made me smile ⬇️
