In old Slavic and Celtic countryside tales, it was said:
"Feed a crow, and it remembers.
Feed it thrice, and you are kin."
To honor this, crumble a bit of bread at the edge of a path or windowsill.
Speak aloud: "For the black-feathered witness. For the sky's dever tongue."
If the crow comes, you are watched with favor.
If it does not, you are still heard.
Do this on a Wednesday before noon, or a Friday after rain, if you want the charm to stick.
Some say those who feed the same crow three times will receive a small treasure before the year ends—a button, a coin, or a dream that answers a question you forgot you asked.

And yet, today, too many look away as international law is violated with impunity.
We believe international justice is not a relic of the past – it's a moral compass for the future. Upholding it means defending humanity, accountability and peace in a world that seems to forget.
