I confess to thinking it was hopeless at the start, but am very grateful to APPG @aditimadhura & @CZMolyneux and network for not giving up and keeping us engaged in pushing ahead. A real lesson that tireless advocacy can move stubborn governments.
A massive thank you to APPG Staff @aditimadhura & @CZMolyneux; & our expert network @nlubell & @CarlaFerstman at @essexuniversity, @estubbinsbates at @ELAC_Oxford, Gen Sir Nick, HHJ Blackett, Maj Gen Brereton, @haoussou, Elizabeth Wilmshurst at @ChathamHouse,Mark Goodwin-Hudson..
Put simply, The proposed new version means that by not adding war crimes to the exclusion, the bill could enable service personnel to avoid prosecution for executing a detainee, as long as they do not abuse the person before killing them.
Important #OOBill message: looks like celebrations of a government concession on crimes within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court are premature. The excellent @BinghamCentre has been looking at the small print. /1 binghamcentre.biicl.org/publ…
Looking forward to hear the other speakers this Wednesday on Battlefield Evidence

Any of you know when and how the Gov lawyers decide between invoking ar.51/ad bellum and/or arguing it’s an existing conflict/"associated forces"/in bello? Not sure I see method over the past years, it seems kind of random…
This quoted post is unavailable.
congratulations and good luck!

ECtHR GeorgiaRussia revived false proximity argument for extraterritorial jurisdiction. Note to states: when killing abroad, make sure your agents don’t physically control the person before killing them. A sniper rifle from a distance will apparently clear you of HRL obligations

📣The Guidelines on Investigating Violations of #IHL – published w/@ICRC – are now also available in Arabic, French, Spanish & Russian!
