[Mr Churchill @cherchill]

International law isn't a rigid rulebook; it’s a living dynamic system built on consensus, diplomacy, and accountability. What do you think is the biggest challenge facing international legal institutions today? 🏛️🌍👇 #LawTwitter #InternationalLaw #GlobalGovernance

[Mr Churchill @cherchill]

Diplomacy, mediation, arbitration, or adjudication? Article 33 of the UN Charter reminds us that the peaceful settlement of disputes isn't just an option—it’s an international legal obligation. 🕊️🏛️ #ICJ #UNCharter #PeaceAndSecurity #ConflictResolution

[Mr Churchill @cherchill]

When text meets intent: Article 31 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) remains the gold standard. Treaties must be interpreted in good faith, using the ordinary meaning in their context and light of object & purpose. ✍️🔍 #VCLT #TreatyLaw #LawTwitter

[Mr Churchill @cherchill]

Climate change is pushing the boundaries of traditional international law. From state responsibility for emissions to the legal status of sinking island nations, the rules of coexistence are being rewritten in real-time. 🗺️💧 #ClimateJustice #InternationalLaw #EcoLaw

[Mr Churchill @cherchill]

State practice + opinio juris = Customary International Law. It’s fascinating how unwritten rules, shaped by consistent state behavior and legal obligation, hold the global community together just as firmly as treaties. 📜🤝 #PIL #InternationalLaw #LegalTheory

[Mr Churchill @cherchill]

Can state sovereignty co-exist with universal human rights, or are they inherently at odds? International law is a constant balancing act between respecting borders and protecting people.⚖️🌍 #InternationalLaw #HumanRights #Sovereignty #PublicInternationalLaw

Water is a basic human right.

Yet across the 🌍, women still don’t have an equal say in how it's collected and managed, and they consistently bear the highest cost to obtain it.

Here's how we're working to ensure fair water access for all: https://t.co/GPJqG9AbPa

Anyone can drown, no one should.

Drowning prevention starts with YOU:
👀 Supervise children & don’t look away when they're near water
🦺 Use safety equipment like life jackets & make sure they’re in place before going out on a boat
🏊‍♂️ Learn to swim, or if you can’t swim, stay away from the water
🌧️ Check the weather conditions, the depth of the water & the strength of the current before entering the water
🚫 Don’t drink alcohol near water. It dulls your senses & can cause fatal accidents near water

Remember! Drowning is often silent & goes unnoticed.
Watch for the signs when someone is struggling to stay afloat, it’s never too soon to respond.
