You may recall that the pre-trial panel of judges considering the warrants for Bibi et al replaced a judge? Israel thinks the new judge isn't impartial because she previously worked in the prosecutor's office. Image I did a thread on Bluesky a few days ago about the warrants, which I am now going to copy here.

In September, Israel submitted a pair of challenges to the ICC over jurisdiction and over notice in the court's investigation and the request for arrest warrants.

The were initial secret but have now been made public. Notice: icc-cpi.int/sites/default/…

Today is my first day of holidays so I've decided to make a spreadsheet to figure out the average time it generally takes judges to issue (or reject) a warrants request at the ICC. As best as I can figure out (and jfc the ICC website is such a nightmare to navigate), there have been 61 requests for arrest warrants - this includes some people who have had two requests and some that have been withdrawn.

Here's another Twitter thread about this case and what to expect, since it's very clear not 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 read the first three. What's going on tomorrow?

It's International Sous Vide Day. It's also Dental Drill Appreciation Day (Do we need a day for that?) It's also Green Juice Day.

Look I really like to be yelled at on Al Gore's internet so I've also decided to do an ICJ genocide case thread.

Let's go. Here is a non-exhaustive list of questions (with very reasonable and boring answers) people have asked me since this whole thing kicked off.

Good morning from a classically rainy Den Haag where Ukraine and Russia will face off yet again before UN's highest court*.

(*not the ICC) This time, it's the Uno Reverse Genocide Case (tm).

Russia used genocide as a pretext for the invasion. Ukraine says it wasn't doing any genocide and the false accusation violates the Genocide Convention.

We are back for the final round of Ukraine v Russia - this time for Russia's final remarks.

We all remember how this went for Russia's opening remarks right?

Hope all the weirdo Twitter trolls had some time to rest up because it seems likely the JIT will announce new suspects in the downing of MH17. Well, I wasn't going to live tweet this press conference because, ya know, you can watch it yourself.

But then I was reliably informed that some of my *commentary* has made an impression on *certain* individuals and now I feel obligated.
