Today 🇺🇦 @UKRinOSCE & 🇪🇺 @EUOSCE with @TRPforJustice held event on 🇷🇺’s coercive practices in temporarily occupied territories of 🇺🇦
Russia’s suppression system against Ukrainian population, in violation of #IHL & #IHRL, forces civilians out of homes.
#Accountability must follow.
False. Purporting to merge int'l human rights law (#IHRL) & law of armed conflict (#LOAC) didn't happen "aeons" ago (even figuratively).
That movement can be traced to mid-1960's as 20th anniversary of Universal Declaration of Human Rights approached.
It's also when Jean Pictet @ICRC coined the term "international humanitarian law" (#IHL) we still use today. That phrase was based on the conceptual model he simply constructed in his own mind then wrote about in a set of 3 journal articles published in International Review of the Red Cross beginning in Sep 1966 (pic 1, left).
Now, you won't be shocked to learn that I don't make it a habit to respond to or take seriously some rando anonymous social media account with a penguin as a profile pic + a generally bad attitude. But I've come to respect both @shamziman & @ElliotMalin during my time here @X, and they've been engaged in this 🧵 for a while now - so I'll join in as well.
Plus, this is an opportunity to at least briefly outline why the movement to merge LOAC & IHRL has always been misguided, and why that matters for us today.
So, to the original point at the very top of this 🧵: the "nexus" between LOAC & IHRL is most certainly not "basic stuff in int law man." As mentioned above, this movement took shape in the mid-1960's as an attempt to essentially hitch humanitarian advocacy to the rising star of human rights rhetoric.
I doubt you'll find anyone who knows more about this subject than me tbh. I've studied it from practical, conceptual & historical approaches since the "nexus" between LOAC & IHRL emerged as a decisive issue on a file I was assigned in 2014 as Chief of International and Operational Law for Regional Command-East in 🇦🇫.
Due to the current forum, I won't go into detail about that file. But that's what sparked my realization that this issue ("nexus" between LOAC & IHRL) isn't just some theoretical, academic concern. It is that, but it's also vitally important in practice.
Fast forward almost exactly 10 years after that deployment, and I graduated from Cornell Law (where I also teach, of course) with a JSD degree. Any guesses what the topic of my dissertation was?
That's right. The "nexus" between LOAC & IHRL (pic 2).
What I learned in that study - a lesson I continue to refine - is that there is not, nor has there ever actually been, a "nexus" or "relationship" between the two.
That's bc when initial architects like Pictet & Sean McBride were busy fabricating the "relationship" in their own minds by merging LOAC & IHRL then trying to convince everyone of the legitimacy of their theoretical frameworks in the mid-1960's, they completely erased & ignored all the conceptual & practical characteristics that differentiate the two bodies of law (pic 3, excerpt of my article at: https://t.co/hEge2xxqht).
The problem is, those incongruent characteristics matter. A lot. They always have (my dissertation traced historical connections from the Marius-Sulla rivalry in late Roman Republic to today), and they always will.
That conceptual & historical background sets up the question: why is this relevant & important now?
Simple. The "relationship" between these two separate bodies of law (LOAC & IHRL) has always been problematic, yet it is THE mechanism that connects groups like @hrw & @amnesty to the context of armed conflict.
That's the whole point of at least rhetorically merging the two. It's simply a matter of framing armed conflict in LANGUAGE of human rights to expand the pool of groups & entities who can claim a stake in "enforcement" & advocacy (pic 1, right).
Which brings us back to the main point from my OP back in Oct last year. These human rights groups aren't ACTUALLY "experts" at LOAC - conceptually or methodologically (pic 4, my article at https://t.co/HUUfycPmhT).
Yes, genocide CAN be committed in both peacetime & war. But when the broader context is armed conflict, advocacy from these general human rights groups is not actually convincing.

Voice of a #Venezuelan lawyer.
I started to follow Moisés to learn more abt the #LatAm #IHRL practices & judge Cançado Trindade. Moisés now invites us to come closer to Venezuela, to the deeply hurt democracy, while we focus on the U.S. illegal use of force. 👇🏻
I would invite all legal colleagues rightly expressing outrage for the trampling of the prohibition on the use of force by the US in Venezuela to unequivocally voice their conviction that no situation arising from a jus cogens rule can be recognized, such as the designation of

First human rights moot court case done in English. Phew. Tested with an AI. Hope it works with my beloved students of #IHRL.
#Slovenia 🇸🇮 welcomes the @CIJ_ICJ comprehensive clarification of Israel's obligations under international law. #Israel 🇮🇱 is unequivocally required to fulfill its duties under #IHL & #IHRL, must ensure and facilitate the provision of essential humanitarian aid, in particular by @UNRWA & must respect the @UN's 🇺🇳 privileges and immunities. The compliance with these obligations is indispensable for upholding the #Palestinian 🇵🇸 people’s inalienable right to self-determination & fostering regional peace and stability.

Few highlights from the reading of the #AO by @CIJ_ICJ:
- No reason to decline AO
- obligations as an occupying power: #GenevaConvention IV, #IHRL, customary IL apply; Israel continued to exercise authority over #Gaza, prior to 7 October; after that,effective control increased
