  • Gallic Stubbornness: France, Netanyahu and the ICC Arrest Warrants

    The comity of nations, at least when it comes to international humanitarian law, took a rather curious turn with the announcement by France that it would regard Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s immunity as unimpeachable even before an arrest warrant approved by the International Criminal Court.  This view was expressed despite France claiming to be […]

  • Arrest Warrants from The Hague

    The slow, often grinding machinery of international law has just received a push along with the issuing of three arrest warrants by the International Criminal Court. They are for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s former defence minister, Yoav Gallant, and, rather incongruously, Hamas figure Mohammed Deif.  The last issue is somewhat odd given claims […]

  • NEW: Portal for Tracking Genocidal Incitement Against Palestinians

    For the last year, since October 7, Law For Palestine has been documenting genocidal incitement against Palestinians by Israeli government officials, military personnel, and public figures.

  • Where was Amnesty International during the Genocide in Gaza?

    Six takeaways from the UK’s decision on arms sales to Israel the media are hiding

    The Guardian reported this week a source from within the Foreign Office confirming what anyone paying close attention already knew.

    Let’s Think About How to Build a More Peaceful World

    Although the current U.S. presidential campaign has focused almost entirely on domestic issues, Americans live on a planet engulfed in horrific wars, an escalating arms race, and repeated threats of nuclear annihilation. Amid this dangerous reality, shouldn’t we give some thought to how to build a more peaceful future? Back in 1945, toward the end […]

  • Starmer learnt that the Price of Power was Support for Genocide

    Starmer learnt that the Price of Power was Support for Genocide

    By a crushing majority, the 17 judges of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled more than five months ago that Israel was “plausibly” committing genocide in Gaza. The highest court in the world put Israel on trial, accused of the ultimate crime against humanity. Much has happened since that decision – and all of […]

  • Does Canada Uphold Binding International Law?

    The Canadian government repeatedly tells the world that Canada upholds an international rules-based order that is the basis of democracy. What the Canadian government says is not true. The evidence that it is not true is indisputable. There is widespread concern that social media is putting out disinformation, that this practice is dangerous and harmful […]

    To continue the Gaza genocide, Israel and the US must destroy the laws of war

    The world’s two highest courts have made an implacable enemy of Israel in trying to uphold international law and end Israeli atrocities in Gaza. Separate announcements last week by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) should have forced Israel on to the back foot in Gaza. A panel of judges at […]

  • Israel, Russia, and International Law

    International law―the recognized rules of behavior among nations based on customary practices and treaties, among them the United Nations Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights―has been agreed upon by large and small nations alike.  To implement this law, the nations of the world have established a UN Security Council (to maintain international peace […]
