I published an open-ed in the Italian newspaper Domani to discuss why the Israe_li blockade of G_aza is illegal and why the Flotilla must be allowed to deliver its humanitarian aid: www.editorialedomani.it/fatti/flotil...

Dunno, but a former UK prime minister declaring what will happen to Palestine is not something which went terribly well before.

ICJ President Sebutinde has been credibly accused of plagiarism, and the source is stunning: Douglas Feith was US Under Secretary of Defense and key architect of the illegal 2003 Iraq War. His career is defined by opposition to international law & it is unbefitting that any ICJ judge would cite him

Last day of work before some summer break. It's been an intense academic year. First draft of book manuscript finalised. Marking completed. Students advised. Sorry for any delay in coming back to you, I'll have an out-of-office and bad reception for some weeks!

Happy to be in Nottingham today and tomorrow to present part of my research on sufficient gravity before the ICC at the 2025 Nottingham International Criminal Justice Conference. Many thanks to the organisers for putting together such an amazing programme!

Marco Longobardo @marcolongobardo.bsky.social · Jul 10

Thanks! There are many historical panels too, it's a great event!

In very sad days for people under occupations, today and tomorrow the Occupation Studies Research Network hosts its first annual conference at King's College. I'll chair a panel on law of occupation and present in one on occupation and self-determination. Programme fasos-research.nl/occupationst...

Solidarity to Francesca Albanese. She only does her job in extremely difficult circumstances!

Of course, extra-legal considerations exist.

I mean, I don't like fact-specific statements (so open to double standards), but I won't ask for consistency with that awful precedent...

Marco Longobardo @marcolongobardo.bsky.social · Jul 9

Exactly. I mean, when Marko (who's late) says that the Court does whatever it wants with the notion of jurisdiction, he's so right...

Unanimous decision. For me, it screams "sorry we made a mess with Georgia v Russia", but I need to read it more carefully.

Admissibility decision in Ukraine v Russia is out! ECHR applies to hostilities between Ukraine and Russia and, in fact, goodbye to Georgia v Russia. A lot to unpack!
