I agree, we do not do enough to end gender apartheid in Afghanistan. So, let's see what is it we do thus far, so that we can understand what "too little" means, shall we? ๐Ÿงต
The Taliban have been subjected to sanctions for their treatment of Afghan women since 1999, through UNSC Resolution 1267. Image
In 2011, this sanctions regime was divided in two by UNSC Resolutions 1988 and 1989, so that it could cover both the Taliban and al-Qaida. The first of these created a Sanctions Committee so that sanctions could be properly updated Image

Stares in...
- Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth (1961)
- Pablo Gonzรกlez Casanova's Sociologรญa de la Explotaciรณn (1969)
- Edward Said's Zionism from the Perspective of its Victims (1979)
- Anรญbal Quijano's Colonialidad y Racionalidad/Modernidad (1991)

AND SO MANY OTHERS Image
Um... no. The whole point of the emergence of coloniality as a concept was that it is a set of relations, not a specific political process. You don't need "European settlers claiming res nullius" to establish a colonial relation. That just happens to be common in history. Image
The conclusion here would be that the Spanish colonial empire would not be colonial because Spaniards also "co-existed" (massive quotation marks there) with the indigenous people of the Americas Image

Judge Sebutindeโ€™s Dissent has resurrected old claims that Israel is entitled to all of Palestinian Territory under the doctrine of uti possidetis juris. While this has encouraged many anti-Palestinian-rights actors, the argument remains as unconvincing as ever ๐Ÿงต
Uti Possidetis is a doctrine that originates in the early 1800s during the independentist processes in Latin America, whose leaders used this Roman law concept to claim that colonial internal borders would continue after independence as the intโ€™l borders of the new Latin states
In simple terms, therefore, the doctrine holds that the territory of the Viceroyalty of Peru is the same as the territory of the (now independent) Republic of Peru. Its a simple and intuitive way to solve the uncertainty of the transition to independence

From reading the Separate Opinions, it seems that except for Judge Sebutinde, the Court did not have many profound disagreements. This is important considering prior experience with the Court (remember Comma-Gate). Here, things seemed pretty straght-forward. Some thoughts ๐Ÿงต
Abraham (๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท), Tomka (๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฐ) and Aurescu (๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ด) disagreed with the majority that the occupation could become illegal as a whole. They rather believed that Israel was doing illegal things in the context of an otherwise normal occupation Image
In a very radical and divergent position, Sebutinde (๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฌ) does not seem to believe that the OPT is occupied at all but that is rather simply a disputed territory. At several points she talks of an "alleged occupation" or territory "considered occupied" Image

"yeah yeah but it doesn't matter anyway"
Sure, this Opinion will not stop Israel in Gaza. But there's some things you should consider before dismissing this historic Opinion... ๐Ÿงต
This case was never meant to be a reaction to Gaza. It began in Jan. 2023 as part of a broader effort to use the law in defence of Palestinian rights. It is meant to help increase the tools at the disposal of Palestinians. In this regard, it has been extremely successful
The ICJ, the highest tribunal on intl law, has essentially confirmed that Israel is an apartheid state, that it must dismantle all settlements and that it must allow the return of those Palestinians it displaced. This alone is huge but not because of what it can accomplish today
