Indeed, he was so right, especially as we look at the lives of children being ravaged in Ukraine now, as well as the Middle East, a region wrought with conflict & war for decades.

LIVE - Tamil Guardian will be providing live coverage of the #HRC49 interactive dialogue on UN High Commissioner @mbachelet's report on Sri Lanka.
“The proposals to amend some provisions of the PTA, and to release some detainees under the Act are welcome initial steps. I encourage the government to take further steps to address the fundamental problems with the PTA” @mbachelet said in her written update.
She also urged the Sri Lankan government to "undertake the deeper legal institutional and security sector reforms that are critically needed to put an end to impunity and prevent any recurrence of past violations."
As expected, the UN Human Rights Council (@UN_HRC) has established an international commission of inquiry for #Ukraine. The structure & mandate of the new body combines aspects typical of commissions of inquiry with elements of the new ‘investigatory mechanism’ model. #HRC49 1/11
By that I mean that the #Ukraine COI has a typical structure (a three-member panel) and a typical mandate: to investigate all violations and abuses of IHRL & IHL, to examine factual circumstances and the root causes of violations, and to recommend accountability measures. 2/11
But it also has elements of an ‘investigatory mechanism’ mandate: to collect, preserve, and analyse evidence with a view to supporting future criminal trials at domestic or international level (akin to the existing IIIM (Syria), IIMM (Myanmar) and @UNITAD_Iraq). 3/11
#UkraineRussiaWar ⎮ Here's your roundup of #France's 🇫🇷 engagement and solidarity with #Ukraine 🇺🇦 on a national level, at the #UN 🇺🇳 and within the #EU 🇪🇺⤵️

He refuses to stop his attacks on #Ukraine at this point. It is vital to maintain dialogue to avoid human tragedy. I will continue my efforts and contacts. We must avoid the worst."

I am and will remain fully determined."
What does #Russia in relation to #Ukraine have in common - from the perspective of (mis)application of international law - with #Israel in relation to #Palestine? The answer is the obscure 'Missing Reversioner Doctrine.' A thread:
In 1968, with the nascent #Israeli occupation of #Palestinian territory, Prof. Yehuda Blum penned the ‘The Missing Reversioner: Reflections on the Status of Judea and Samaria’. Blum argued that there were no reversionary rights of an ousted legitimate government to the territory
I am deeply honoured & grateful to have been appointed the @ICRC’s next Director of International Law, Policy & Humanitarian Diplomacy, effective 1 July 2022!
