Winter rains and floodwaters will also be mobilising pollutants from the bombing, and from waste and debris, into soils and into #Gaza's already degraded aquifer. In this way the rains are creating both acute humanitarian needs and longer term threats to Gaza's resources 3/3

The policy also commits the OTP to interdisciplinary investigations, normalises reliance on #OSINT and civil-society documentation. This lowers barriers to early evidence collection and reflecting the realities of conflict environments where ground access may be impossible. 3/3

One of the most interesting aspects of the policy is how it seeks to mainstream the environment across the Rome Statute crimes of:
❎ Crimes against humanity,
❎ Genocide,
❎ War crimes,
❎ The crime of aggression.

The impact of marine warfare on #cetaceans and wider marine ecosystems is poorly understood, and with tactics and risks rapidly evolving, even as marine ecosystems are under increasing human pressure, it’s imperative that we work to understand these relationships. 4/4

We also look at whether military infrastructure may be impacting cetacean populations. Russia's militarisation of the #KerchBridge to #Crimea has placed physical and acoustic barriers across a vital migration corridor yet its ecological impact is understudied. 3/4

Cetacean mortality rose sharply in 2022 as Russia blockaded Ukrainian ports. But why? We explore pollution events, acoustic disturbance such as military sonar, and shifting fishery and shipping patterns. 2/4
