[Steve Crawshaw 🧡 @stevecrawshaw]

@OxfordAmnesty Looking forward to this!, & to good discussion on key themes…

[Steve Crawshaw 🧡 @stevecrawshaw]

@cgmoorefoundat1 @nehadixit123 @BLNadeau @SofiOksanen Am so honoured!, thank you

[Steve Crawshaw 🧡 @stevecrawshaw]

@SaraAfshar Barely on this place these days, because of the unhinged Musk (am at Bluesky) but… thank you!, for highlighting that, yes disconnect is truly horrific. We all knew Trump was bad, but I never thought he & his malign JD sidekick could ever stoop quite so low

[Little, Brown UK @LittleBrownUK]

Putting a country's leader on trial once seemed unimaginable, but as @stevecrawshaw describes the possibilities of justice have been transformed . . .

‖ #ProsecutingThePowerful is out today! Congratulations Steve. Buy your copy here: https://t.co/Ppr9FQ1zQ3

[Sara Afshar @SaraAfshar]

I'm looking forward to reading this v timely book by ⁦@stevecrawshaw⁩ who gave an inspiring speech last night about the moral courage it takes to bring war crimes perpetrators to justice. I woke up to media hesitating to call Trump's plan for #Gaza what it is - a war crime.

[Steve Crawshaw 🧡 @stevecrawshaw]

I am mostly now at the Other Place. But/and: many thanks @KenRoth !, and back at you: I look forward very much to reading yours on partly intersecting themes in difficult times

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

In his new book, "Prosecuting the Powerful," @SteveCrawshaw traces the history of international justice and shows why, despite inevitable transgressions, the possibility of bringing perpetrators to justice is growing. https://t.co/OS0yn1HDFZ

@lucyjpop Oh thank you! I feel honoured (and happy to be in such good company…).

[Steve Crawshaw 🧡 @stevecrawshaw]

Thank you to so many people who helped make this book what it is. Out 6 February — more about this in weeks and months to come, in the other place.

[Steve Crawshaw 🧡 @stevecrawshaw]

@PhilipGrant40 @njtmulder Thank you @PhilipGrant40 for kind words!, proper response over at the Other Place. Meanwhile: am feeling grateful to ICC judges today, in different ways

Moving memories of the brilliant & generous Paul Lowe, photographer for the ages. RIP

[Balkan Insight @BalkanInsight]

Paul Lowe will, naturally, be remembered for his work and the quality and significance of it. His outstanding contribution, as an award-winning photojournalist and as an academic, has, after all, left a significant legacy.

This one was tough to write. I’ve edited Kim for more than a decade, with him covering all corners of the world. His job was never to make mine easy - he was always the first to head to a frontline. But he did so with humour and his reporting was superb.

This is such horribly shocking news. generous fearless brilliant, will be so much missed https://t.co/aqwAq0I4QC

[Steve Crawshaw 🧡 @stevecrawshaw]

Madness left behind, finally. Amazing that any British government could ever have thought blocking justice was a good idea. https://t.co/CGC1sogwet

[Steve Crawshaw 🧡 @stevecrawshaw]

This is SUCH an important call by ⁦@YasmineAhmed001⁩ @hrw — extraordinary that current govt is still lost in Sunak morasse of challenging (British) chief prosecutor who seeks Gaza indictments & justice at ICC https://t.co/f7nQIIfcpx

[Steve Crawshaw 🧡 @stevecrawshaw]

A brilliant book, a brilliant colleague — please come join us for @PearsonElaine wisdom, experience and hope. Looking forward to this! , so much to talk about for sure

[Elaine Pearson @PearsonElaine]

I'll be speaking about all things Asia, human rights, @hrw and writing books in London this Wednesday July 24th, 6pm at the Conduit - in conversation with the wonderful @stevecrawshaw. Do come along if you're in London. Register here: https://t.co/8I9I4zaF0C

[Haggai Matar @Ha_Matar]

Western liberal politicians and media like to blame Netanyahu for everything that's wrong in Israel. That is a false and dangerous notion. All Zionist "opposition" parties (Gantz, Lapid) and President Herzog condemning Khan just shows Israelis either deny or justify war crimes

[Steve Crawshaw 🧡 @stevecrawshaw]

Huge congratulations to @Trial and all those they have worked with to get this result — important not just for itself but what it can herald for future

[TRIAL International @Trial]

🚨BREAKING: Ousman Sonko, former #Gambian Interior Minister under Yahya Jammeh, has been sentenced by the #Swiss Federal Criminal Court to 20 years in prison for #crimesagainsthumanity.

@cafreeland I wish other countries could learn a bit from Canada, I really do (I mean: you guys may not be perfect, but everything is relative after all)

[Steve Crawshaw 🧡 @stevecrawshaw]

Read and share this thread… brilliant opportunity for talented young journalist, in memory of generous-spirited genius Rupert Cornwell @Independent. not-to-be-missed…
