2 years on from the General Assembly’s veto initiative, and following the UNGA’s debate this week on same topic, re-sharing my article from last year assessing the initiative’s potential, challenges & missed opportunities. DM me for a copy. brill.com/view/journals/gg/2…

Happy to see this now published in @GlobalGovJrnl - examining the success of the UNGA’s 2022 veto initiative, so far, against its stated objectives: increasing the accountability of the UNSC to the UNGA; & prompting GA action when the UNSC fails. brill.com/view/journals/gg/2…
Thanks @just_security for hosting me on this podcast - we talk about the recent resignation of the UNSG’s #R2P Special Advisor @GeorgeOkothObbo & the lack of institutional support for R2P within the UN system @APR2P @GCR2P justsecurity.org/87993/the-j…
With @APR2P I was privileged to work with the UNSG's #R2P Special Advisor @GeorgeOkothObbo. Alongside others in the atrocity prevention community we were devastated by his resignation. In this article I reflect on why it was so hard for him to do his job justsecurity.org/87571/the-u…
I am very happy to share (belatedly) that... I got my PhD! I am immensely grateful to my supervisors @Alex_J_Bellamy & Anthony Cassimatis & to @UQLaw & @APR2P. My thesis on the powers of the UN General Assembly & related publications is available here:

Happy to share this piece just published in @AustJIA, reflecting on the 3 pillars of the Responsibility to Protect & explaining the alternate framing used in our recently released #R2P Framework for Action. @APR2P @GCR2P @GeorgeOkothObbo

Thanks for sharing @danielflitton , great to see the Geneva Conventions featured in ideas that changed the world, they’ve still got a lot more changing to do though! (And they’re certainly not becoming less relevant, as suggested at one point in this article)
Here, featuring @becjbarber analysis from 2019 - shows the enduring relevance of good commentary! @LowyInstitute theweek.co.uk/52-ideas-that-…
“The #R2P Framework for Action is a sister to the Framework of Analysis. The former illuminate risks; the latter tells us what to do about it.” Thank you @GeorgeOkothObbo for helping us launch the R2P framework for action in the Pacific with @MsgSecretariat & @AusHCVanuatu @APR2P
So thrilled yesterday to launch our #R2P framework for action & an honour to speak alongside R2P Special Adv @GeorgeOkothObbo fmr Special Advisors Amb Simonovic & Karen Smith, & @JDStreitfeld. Watch here @APR2P @GCR2P youtu.be/-tHc9Q6Z8QY
Our #R2P framework for action is online! Detailing what states can do, domestically & in their foreign policy, to protect populations from atrocity crimes. In other words, what it means to implement the responsibility to protect.

#ANZSIL family congratulates you on your excellent and important work!
Happy to see this out in @GR2P1. It suggests 3 impediments to advancing #R2P implementation & how they can be tackled. 1- better defining what R2P requires; 2- support for national-level planning; 3- institutionalising R2P in the UN. @APR2P brill.com/view/journals/gr2p…
Happy to see this out now in the Jnl Int’l Peacekeeping. It considers the recent practice of the UNGA inc re Syria, Myanmar & Ukraine & considers whether we’re seeing a shift in the balance of powers between the UNGA & the UNSC @APR2P brill.com/view/journals/joup…
