Interesting fact: the ICC has NO cases or investigations involving US citizens. But the Court has an ongoing investigation and at least 2 arrest warrants out for Israeli officials, including Benjamin Netanyahu
Teenagers appear in court without legal representation due to solicitors strike #KittyHolland
Several, aged between 16 and 17, had no one with them in court. One 18-year-old who was alone when he came before the president of the District Court, Judge Paul Kelly, was disabled.
The judge handed several children Post-it notes detailing the date of their next court appearance, advising them: “Now don’t lose that. Ring your solicitor and tell them that date.”

In 1945 Justice Jackson opened Nuremberg on a promise: the law binds ally and enemy alike,or it binds no one. Today his country targets the very institution delivering that mission- to spare a fugitive from trial.
Empire it was, empire it is. Where evil sits makes all difference.
Suicide is the leading cause of death for people subject to domestic abuse.
We need a system that recognises the impact of coercive and controlling behaviour, holds abusers to account & ensures every survivor can access specialist mental health support. https://t.co/DAEWD1VXtY
The rape of a 20-year-old woman with learning disabilities in a police station in Lahore, Pakistan, has prompted authorities to suspend all 78 officers and staff at the precinct, one of the country’s biggest disciplinary actions against its police force. https://t.co/U2Ye7df1uP
Technology is outpacing accountability and humanity. Chilling reality of kill zones, kamikaze drones, and new ways to kill at distance from victim and law.
The technology is changing. The rules have not.
My interview on @BBCr4today for #WorldHumanitarianDay.
Israel bombed a seaside café in Gaza yesterday, killing 7 people, including a child. One person's body was so shredded they couldn't be identified. The force of the explosion was so intense that people were hurled into the sea. And most of the international media just shrugs.
If Trump were to succeed in his vendetta to destroy the International Criminal Court (he won't), it would remove the only real source of external pressure currently operating in Afghanistan on behalf of the women and girl victims of the Taliban. https://t.co/rOY2oyGpcQ
There are grown-ass men doing press-ups in front of the jail where Andrew Tate is being held, trying to impress him.
They may as well be twerking for him.
Judge who threatened to remove mother’s custody conducted ‘flawed’ hearing, High Court rules
High Court judge Garrett Simons said the orders had been made without the District Court having heard the child’s up-to-date views, which was a “fundamental requirement”.
The constitutional requirement to ascertain the child’s views was not met, while there were also errors with the decision-making process and there was a denial of justice to the child and mother, he held.

Gaza’s surging miscarriage crisis: Pregnancy losses more than tripled in the first half of this year, as conditions continue to deteriorate under Israel's bombardment and siege. https://t.co/3EgRtYZB94
Khan's removal lines up neatly with the fight to neutralise Netanyahu's arrest warrant. Coincidence is a luxury intl law can no longer afford.
This proves that justice DOES threaten Apartheid Israel & Co. So if the ICC is paralysed, lawyers and judges worldwide must do more.
