[Tara Van Ho @TaraVanHo]

War crimes are war crimes regardless of who commits them. Crimes against humanity are crimes against humanity, even when your "side" does it. And genocide is genocide, no matter justifications.

If you can't condemn a side b/c you like them too much, you are doing humanity wrong.

[Christophe Paulussen @chpaulussen]

Does the ICC's legal framework allow for the recognition of nonhumans as victims of ecocide? Read @FrissoGiovanna's Brief in our @IntCrimDatabase's series on #ecocide and find out!

Oud-minister Wiebes vertelt dat er ,,veiligheidsbeloften zijn gedaan die Nederland niet nakwam" en dat hij van een bezorgde Groningse de vraag voor de voeten geworpen kreeg ,,of Groningen nog wel bij Nederland hoort". Je voelt dat Wiebes het moeilijk vindt als hij het zegt #pegas

Living legend @BenFerencz urging the students of the @TMCAsser and @WarCrimesWCL summer programme to take up his work in opposing war-making and investing in law and peace, citing Eisenhower: "If civilization is to survive, it must choose the rule of law." #nevergiveup

The OSCE report that was published yesterday is significant as it is the 1st independent report that identifies evidence of potential Russian war crimes in Ukraine. OSCE diplomats say that the findings will be shared with the ICC, the ICJ and other courts. https://t.co/d53pGor8aC
