In this article @ljil-leiden.bsky.social, @mattia800.bsky.social and I challenge the punishment-as-justice perspective that dominates atrocity redress and prevention, examining, with a focus on Gaza, how it can undermine prevention and fuel problematic retaliatory impulses.

Inspired by calls to reimagine the space currently populated by international criminal law, Meg deGuzman's and my essay engages in feminist dreaming—that is, seeks to reimagine accountability as it could be, viewed through a feminist lens.

I’m watching *that* video of Zelenskyy, Trump, and Vance, and while thinking how nauseating this all is, how the two men in control of the world’s largest nuclear arsenal are just nasty, pathetic bullies, I’m also thinking that no bills were presented and no display of gratitude was requested…
