Some quick observations on the #ICJ's two orders today in the respective #Armenia-#Azerbaijan cases. 🪡1/6
Probably most controversial finding in today's orders is the (thinly reasoned) finding that the interruption of movement along the Lachin Corridor plausibly constitutes violation of #Cerd.
J Yusuf's criticism of shoehorning disputes into Cerd compromissory clause worth a read. 2/

Given the ICJ's finding in 2021 that Azerbaijan's claims relating landmines did not plausibly fall under the Cerd, little surprise that it rejected Azerbaijan's claims this time round. However, a few nuggets in the individual opinions... 3/

YK:n rotusyrjinnän poistamista käsittelevä #CERD-komitea on 1. kerran koskaan todennut Suomen rikkoneen ko. sopimusta. Syy: KHO hyväksyi #saamelaiset vaaliluetteloon henkilöitä ns. kokonaisharkinnan kautta ilman objektiivisten kriteerien täyttymistä.

Komitea katsoo, että KHO:n ratkaisut ovat voineet keinotekoisesti muuttaa saamelaiskäräjien vaaleissa äänioikeutettuja, mikä on vaikuttanut sen kykyyn aidosti edustaa saamelaisia ja heidän etujaan. 2/x #CERD
Komitea suosittelee, että Suomi käynnistää kiireellisesti aidon neuvottelun saamelaiskäräjistä annetun lain 3 §:n tarkistamiseksi. Ratkaisua tulee myös jakaa laajasti eri kielillä. Hallituksen toivotaan 90 päivän kuluessa kertovan komitealle mihin toimiin on ryhdytty. 3/x

Sheikh Ali Salman was unjustly imprisoned in December 2014 after leading a protest rally in #Bahrain. He is a @DefendingFreedoms prisoner of conscience who should be freed immediately and without conditions. @USEmbassyManama humanrightscommission.house.gov/defending-free…

Well that didn't take long. After #Armenia initiated an #ICJ case against #Azerbaijan last week re #CERD violations, Azerbaijan said it would respond in kind. Yesterday, Azerbaijan filed its own case against Armenia, also under the CERD and also seeking provisional measures. 1/35
Since I summarized #Armenia’s claims last week, it seems only fair to provide an overview of #Azerbaijan’s claims now. Another #CERD case, another long thread from me (sorry). 2/35
Azerbaijan’s application attributes a “policy of ethnic cleansing and systematic violations of CERD” to Armenia—namely, discrimination based on national or ethnic origin aimed at achieving a mono-ethnic state. 3/35
An overview (w/some preliminary observations) of the new #ICJ case by #Armenia against #Azerbaijan based on alleged violations of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (#CERD). This is the fourth CERD-based case at the ICJ since 2008. 1/20
#Armenia alleges that #Azerbaijan has subjected individuals of Armenian ethnic/national origin to racial discrimination for decades and fosters hatred towards Armenians as a matter of state policy. (Both parties acceded to the CERD in the 1990s.) 2/20
Armenia further alleges systemic discrimination, mass killings, and torture directed at ethnic Armenians by Azerbaijan, and specifically alleges grave CERD violations during the 2020 armed conflict re #NagarnoKarabakh 3/20
Topic 4: Hate Crime/Speech By Spring 2020, @DeptJusticeIRL commits to #CERD19 that Ireland's approach to Hate Crime/Speech will be known and then progressed to legislation etc.
@DeptJusticeIRL Topic 4: Hate Crime/Speech #CERD2019 By end of December 2019, @DeptJusticeIRL will release Heads of legislation relating to social media/online platforms and harmful communications (incl. racism). Other law reform initiatives in progress.
@DeptJusticeIRL Topic 4: Hate Crime/Speech #CERD2019 Once all legislative measures are progressed, Ireland will reconsider its interpretive declaration to #CERD 's prohibition on hate speech under Art. 4 @DeptJusticeIRL

FIRST TIME: U.N. anti-racism committee issues report calling on Palestinian Authority to stop 'hate speech against Israelis that fuels antisemitism'

In an unprecedented UN criticism of the Palestinians, the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (#CERD), a UN human rights treaty body, urged Ramallah to combat "hate speech against Israelis" which it found "fuels hatred" & "may incite violence" & "antisemitism."
The new report by the 18-member UN committee called on the Palestinians to "remove any derogatory comments and images from school curricula and textbooks that perpetuate prejudices and hatred."

By a narrow margin, the #ICJ has indicated provisional measures in favour of #Qatar against #UAE. However, the Court's brief discussion of the procedural preconditions in #CERD art 22 strikes me as insufficient, even if merely to establish prima facie jurisdiction. 1/
In short, it is not clear to me how the #ICJ can conclude that negotiations b/w #Qatar and #UAE have been exhausted when there is an on-going procedure relating to the same subject-matter in front of the #CERD Committee (regardless of whether bilateral talks went nowhere). 2/
The Court notes (at para 39) that #Qatar is not relying on the CERD Committee proceedings to show that art 22 conditions are met, but this seems to miss the point. The pending CERD Committee action arguably *defeats* -- rather than *establishes* -- ICJ jurisdiction. 3/
The more I think about the new #Qatar v #UAE case at the #ICJ, the more I think #Qatar's submission of an inter-State communication to the #CERD Committee in May 2018 raises a serious obstacle to establishing the ICJ's jurisdiction pursuant to CERD article 22. 1/
A few preliminary thoughts on the case filed by #Qatar against #UAE yesterday at the #ICJ, including Qatar's request for provisional measures. The lengthy application instituting proceedings is here: icj-cij.org/files/case-rel… 1/
Qatar alleges UAE has enacted various discriminatory measures aimed at Qataris since June 2017, including the collective expulsion of Qataris living in UAE. Qatar says the measures violate the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. 2/
