Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

This needs to be shared widely, so please do repost. That aside, the lectures are wonderful and a really engaging critique of moral obligation in modern society.
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

My analysis of some key issues in yesterday's ICJ Advisory Opinion is now online.
I discuss the general context of the Opinion; central aspects in its findings on humanitarian duties; and the different approaches towards the duty to cooperate wrh the UN, as advanced by different judges.

Out tomorrow: Why do states bring cases to the ICJ - even when there’s no jurisdiction? @drnajimagi.bsky.social helps run though the current caseload. Plus with the genocide cases against Myanmar and Israel, are states trying to be useful or just delaying when they make additional interventions?

Long overdue, and perhaps worth being mindful of Crawford's words from 1990(!), still be on point today:
"For a Palestinian State to be properly described as "nasciturus", what is needed is statesmanship on all sides, and respect for the rights of the peoples and states of the region."

Hundreds of humanitarians killed this year. This is more than a statistical spike – it is normalization of violence against our community.
As we open discussions during #UNGA, I urge leaders to stop this era of impunity. Each attack is an attack on all of us. Enough.
