In a world where it feels like violating the laws of armed conflict is the norm, it’s easy to forget that (even when complied with), #IHL is far from an antidote to ethical dilemmas. New episode drops tomorrow. @janethanderson.bsky.social @svdberg.bsky.social @janinadill.bsky.social

This intro to IHL in the context of Gaza by @janinadill.bsky.social on the @asymmetricalh.bsky.social podcast, is such a clear, precise, and accurate explanation of the law, as well as an eloquent and compelling case for why it is so crucially important. www.asymmetricalhaircuts.com/episodes/epi...

Grateful to speak to Newshour of BBC World Service, about legal implications of #Israel's attack against the Iranian Embassy in Syria, the fact that it does not trigger a right to forcibly retaliate against Israel & the danger of potential escalation. (33:45) www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Comments for this NYT article on the WCK aid truck attack. “If you have a humanitarian assistance vehicle that is clearly marked ...had communicated its route ... & you still misidentify that vehicle as a mil objective, it is a very safe inference that your precautions in attack are insufficient.”

I gave some comments to CNN for their investigation of attacks against humanitarian relief trucks in Gaza www.cnn.com/videos/world... Here are the three ways in which these attacks violate IHL. #LawSky

My legal dive into the destruction of cemeteries in Gaza: "while it is unlikely that this conduct is legal in all cases, and not unlikely to be criminal in some, the destruction of cemeteries and removal of human remains raises some questions without easy answers" #LawSky #InternationalLaw

No peace for the dead: legal questions about Israel’s destruction of cemeteries in Gazawww.ejiltalk.org In Gaza not even the dead are at peace. In mid-December the New York Times and the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor first reported that Israel had destroyed several cemeteries in Gaza, bulldozing grav…

· We suspend the rule of law now, whenever it is "not helpful"? · Yes, #Israel has the right to defend itself in line with IL. #ICJ just told you that this is plausibly not what it is doing. · Here is a step towards a "sustainable ceasefire": Voting for one at the UN #LawSky

Glad to provide commentary on CNN international on the ruling today, link here www.janinadill.com/media

When Int. Law becomes relevant in mainstream discourse it also often raises expectations it can't meet, with worrisome backlash effects. I wrote about this in TIME. Looking at Gaza & Ukraine it might seem like int. law is failing us, but war without law would be much worse. time.com/6588977/inte...

What International Law Can—and Can’t Achieve—in Gazatime.com These two major conflicts appear to demonstrate the weakness of international law. But war without law is no alternative at all.

Glad to provide commentary on the idea that #HumanitarianAid to #Gaza should be conditional on the release of the hostages. Unsurprisingly all consulted experts take the same view: this is illegal (and immoral). Comments also by @adhaque.bsky.social & @tomdannenbaum.bsky.social #LawSky

Very good concise explainer by @tomdannenbaum.bsky.social on the #IHL status of hospitals on @bbcnews-world-rss.bsky.social. (3:50) It is not as simple as "used for military purposes = legitimate target"!
